Wie das?
War die letzten drei Jahre da, aber immer nur an den öffentlichen Tagen und da gingen mir die Kiddies und die ellenlangen Schlangen auf die Nerven.

Habe mich die letzten Jahre immer auf gut Glück mit meiner Firma akkreditiert (eher akkreditieren lassen) und hab immer einen Fachbesucher Ausweis bekommen.

Bin auch wie jedes Jahr bei den Fachtagen dabei.
Firma sei dank :)

An "normalen" Tagen isses auch nicht auszuhalten.
Selbst bei der Fachbesuchern Tagen laufen viele viele seltsame Leute rum

Ist dieses "stinkige Jungnerds" Klischee eigentlich Gamescom-spezifisch oder krieg ich das nur da verstärkt mit? Jeder, der von der Gamescom redet, redet auch davon, wie ihn/sie die Besucherschaft nervt.

Mit nem top-tier Plasma von Panasonic kann man nicht viel falsch machen. Für weniger Münzen tendiere ich eher zu LG als Samsung (bei high-end auch). Aber seit 2 Jahren hab ich mich mit der Thematik nicht mehr konkret auseinandergesetzt. Bin mit meinem 47" von LG ohne 3D ganz zufrieden, für größere Diagonalen reicht der Platz nicht.

Gamescom kann ich nicht gehn, aber ihr könnt ja Eindrücke und Fotos posten :)

Habe mit den eigentlichen Besuchern wenig zu tun. Für mich gehts um GDC und Meetings. Könnte dieses Jahr aber anders sein, da wir wohl eines unsere Spiele mitbringen und einen Stand haben..mal sehen.

Ich war noch auf keiner anderen Videospielemesse, aber ich fand das da immer hart. Ist auch sicherlich den Umständen geschuldet, dass das im Sommer stattfindet und viele mit den ÖVM dahin fahren.
Zum Teil laufen da aber auch echt weltfremde Leute rum. Die haben da eher Starcraft, WOW oder Alien Ware-T-Shirts im Kopf als alles andere.


Und bzgl TV: Den nächsten den ich kaufe wird erst wieder n 4K-HDTV sein. 3D finde ich affig.

So you live in Hamburg too? Should grab a beer someday.

As for TheFeedingHand, his last post in here coincided with the CL final. Who can blame him, I mean I hate Germany too for letting Bayern exist.

Hamburg? Far from it. I'd still like to grab a beer with you.

I have a 32" 720p TV from 2005 and no real desire to buy a new one.

Okay, that's a lie, I really want a new 50 or 55" TV, simply because my current Samsung looks kinda small in my new apartment. But I need the money for other things first (like finishing said apartment), so I can't really get out and buy one. I'd probably still spend less than 1,000, because TV isn't important to me. I stopped watching live TV in 2006 and only watch the occasional movie these days. But yeah, it just looks so fucking small and it's bugging me.

I saved money and split the cost and it is something "important" to me. I don't have a car, my last holiday trip was 10 years ago, ... so I guess it is a matter of personal importance.

I have a LG 40 (?) inch Full HD TV. It's not the newest TV around, but all it does, it does really well.

Not that expensive either at the time, can't really remember what I payed for it though.

I paid €250 for a 32" Toshiba TV a few years ago. It's still good enough for me. If I had to buy one today I'd probably get something like this.

EDIT: Maybe not that particular model seeing as it's only "HD ready". But there should be a Full HD one for around that price somewhere.

That's my tv

It's from Tschibo. But wait, it get's even cheaper. My sister in law gave it to me cause she worked at Tschibo's purchasing department.

I reckon it is a matter of preferances. I just couldn't spent more than 600 bucks on it. My brother got a pretty huge 3D set recently and I couldn't stop calling him out for it. All in jest of course. If he enjoys it, good on him.

I'd rather spend my money on those Thonet "Freischwinger" chairs Glam!!!

I probably won't come around getting an HD TV some day. I just don't feel comfortable spending 500€ on a TV. I'm also still using a regular cellphone, same issue.

I will laugh at you modern people when the smartphones become sentient and turn against their owners. Well, at least those few minutes before I realize I'm also screwed.

You could just use a PC monitor, but I don't know how much you like your comfy couch and all that.

Germany is very backwards when it comes to adapting new technologies. Not as bad as Italy, but still pretty bad.

This is so true! My parents didn't get a CD player until the mid 1990s. And then they get some quality shit that lasts forever. Kinda like that anti consumerism stance though.

And I am the same, I haven't even really considered HD. Like at all. I don't know if my tv could potentially do it. I am such an easy Nintendo bait.

Consumers being slow on adapting new things is one side, but when companies aren't giving them any incentive, that's another. Didn't the German state TV broadcast in HD for the first time in 2006 during the World Cup and even then only in 720p?

It's funny to me how Germany's success is reliant on technological superiority, yet Germans are so sceptical towards just about every technical innovation.

It´s made really hard for the consumer to switch to HD TV in Germany right now.

One would be via satellite (fuck no) and the other two come with an internet contract.
At least in Düsseldorf (schönste Stadt am Rhein) where UnityMedia is holding basic cable hostage and wants you to get one of their boxes.

No way to get SKY HD via cable in Düsseldorf - and since soccer would be the only reason for me to go HD I´m out of luck.
