They hiss as soon as you turn them on, never mind the crackling from the USB port interference where they draw their power... At least that's what I suspect cos I attached an extender cable and it lessened but was still there. It did the same thing on my sister's laptop too :(

1600 Bioware points from eastores, even using a 25% voucher it was £2 more expensive than buying them directly through the game.

A fact I found out just moments after using some of them. :?

That'll learn me.

:D

I bought it for the missus with a free Firebox voucher for a) a bit of fun and b) to take on holiday the other week. She didnt touch it.

I on the otherhand think its genius so not a complete waste!

Knee braces. For obvious reasons.

Didn't stop me from tearing an ACL and twisting 180* round on my knee, did they? :(

I haven't bought anything that I regretted buying as I tend to think about purchases for a while before actually doing it.

There's always one who has to rub in the stupidity that burdens the rest of us. ;-)

Worst thing I've bought recently is my new shiny shiny HTC Desire. But that's only because it's chewing through my free time playing with it at a similar rate to a starved sumo wrestler in a sushi bar.

It's got more to do with knowing what Mrs. V. would do if I bought something than said I wish I hadn't? ;) :P
