It was PACKED yesterday at Suntec as ITShow Singapore 2007 was not the only one holding an exhibition yesterday, albeit it was the biggest one there... ...There were travel exhibitions, food exhibitions and even wedding exhibitions... but ppl were mostly headed for ITShow. There were ALL SORTS of booths at ITShow...ALL the BIGGEST names in IT were there... Sony was there...Microsoft was there...NEC was there...Fujitsu was there...HP was there...even the lesser known ASUS was there... ...
When I reached lv 3 of Suntec... ...i saw one of the BIGGEST booth that was there... ...It was BIG, it was COOL, it was AWESOME and in big shiny letters it wrote... ...PlayStation 3!!! WOOT!!! The PS3 exhibition was BEYOND cool... ...they had all sort of stuff there at the booths...They had six sets of PS3 out on display for anyone to try... ...TONS of HD TVs all around the place...and almost everywhere and on every HD TV...they were bragging about the advantages of the Blu-ray format and watnots... ...There was also a queue for ppl to come and collect the PS3s they ordered online...which was empty...looking at how the price of the PS3 hav yet to drop...it was understandable...oh well... ...it was still cool... ...
Directly opposite the PlayStation 3 exhibition was its arch nemesis... ...the Xbox 360... ...the size of its exhibition was comparable to the PlayStation 3's at first sight... ...BUT...if u look closely...u would notice that only about 1/3 of the exhibition was dedicated to the Xbox 360... ...the rest of the exhibition was displaying softwares like Microsoft Office 2007 and the various Vistas and hardwares like optical mouse and all that stuff... ...
The Xbox 360 exhibition can be described using one word... ...SUCKY... ...compared to the PlayStation 3 exhibition...it SUCKED... ...Here is a list of the difference between the PlayStation 3 exhibition and the Xbox 360 exhibition... ...:
Display of information
PlayStation 3:
HD TVs displaying information on the Blu-ray format and the PlayStation 3 wif neatly dressed salespeople around the place answering any enquiries the public might hav... ...
Xbox 360:
A shabbily dressed DJ wannabe wif a microphone shouting out the capabilities of the Xbox 360 and its price... ...to think that Microsoft actually hired a fishmonger to sell its products... ...Its an IT show okay...not a fish market... ...
Product Test Driving
PlayStation 3:
Two neat rows of PlayStation 3s hooked up to humongous HD TVs wif a variety of games available to play that is sure to entertain ppl people of all age and gender... ... Games include Sonic the Hedgehog, Ridge Racer and the critically acclaimed Resistance: Fall of Man... ...Neat queues were also formed behind each PlayStation 3
Xbox 360:
Xbox 360 sets sprawled all around the place randomly...hooked up to tiny Samsung LCD TVs wif only one game loaded...Xbox 360's last hope... ...Gears of War...Sheesh...Gaming industry newbies... ...
Surprisingly...Nintendo's Wii was nowhere to be seen... ...But on second thought...Nintendo does not deal wif anything IT so it would be weird if it showed up for the event... ...
The ppl test driving the consoles were mostly kids, not the teenagers as kids are the only ones thick-skinned enough to hog on a public display... ...soooo...sadly...I did not get to test drive the holy grail of gaming... ...The PlayStation 3...oh well... ...
We then went on to the 4th lv where all the REAL IT stuffs were... ...The place was HUGE, LOUD and PACKED... ...The moment I stepped in to the hall...I was pushed around and I nearly turned deaf from the sudden increase in noise level... ...But, besides the fact that every booth was playing their own stuff at full blast, creating a deafening mash of noise, it was great there...All sort of stuff were sold there...not jus desktops and laptops...there were selling accessories like laptop batteries, laptop bags, DVD-RWs and all that stuff... ...The prices there were also great...no CRAZY... it is like they are slashing prices every hour ...and towards the end of the exhibition...the slashing got more intense... ...it was nuts... ...
So we went around to look at all the laptops and we, or rather I, got stuck at two choices... ...Acer, or NEC... ...They were of about the same price but Acer's specs were slightly superior in terms of graphics... ...BUT...Acer was made in Taiwan but NEC was made in Japan, AND Acer laptops looks horrible while NEC laptops look stylish... ...It was a hard decision... ...Graphics or quality and looks? Then my father pointed at NEC's slogan , "No.1 Selling PC Brand In Japan". Then i thought... ...the whole of Japan cant be wrong... ...
So i went ahead wif the NEC laptop... ...Dad said that we could always assemble a better desktop next time...the laptop has to be light and cool and it is meant for school... ...
We then went on to buy some other stuff like a wireless keyboard and mouse set to use wif the laptop at home as it is difficult to use the keyboard and touchpad of a laptop...might be buying a LCD screen soon to hook up to the laptop at home for easy viewing... ...
We also bought a DVD-RW set containing 100 DVDs to burn stuff... ...So Derick... ...I will be able to get ur sappy OC series on DVD after all... ...AFTER I finish DLing 10 GB/Series via BitComet... ...Did u know the first time I tried DLing season 1 I woke up to a com that told me to clear up some space to that it could even run?!
