;388183']They just look like they're jumping on the 3D bandwagon though. How can you experience 3D on such a small screen? It's only really IMAX that does good 3D effects. I'd rather have a Wii or something.

the screen is a decent size for a hand-held & it's for games not movies' date=' it will take 3D photo's though, i do agree that IMAX is the best way to watch movies in 3D & 2D, i have also used 3D TV's at Gadget Show Live & one of the best was a £2300 Samsung 50" & it worked really well but you had to use the glasses, but LED back-lit TV's are on the way with screens like the ones used in the 3DS so you won't need the glasses, the 3DS is just the first step.

i have a Wii & it's great, but i don't use it as much now as i have a Xbox Kinect :)

3D = FAD. It failed once already. Interactive entertainment may be the way to go to utilize it properly, but I don't think it's really needed for a handheld, I'd just be thinkin what's the point?

i slightly agree, also 3D for 3D sake is crap like movies that are converted for 3D in post-production, if your going to make a 3D movie then film it in 3D in the first place, as i said above the 3DS is a easy & cheap way to get into 3D they are looking at having movies playing on it & the screen size is no different to the likes of the iphone, also Apple are looking into 3D now.

3D = FAD.

I totally agree. Animated/GCI films in 3D? Bring it on! Generic tv shows and "real life" films in 3D? no thank you.

I just don't see the need in doing it most of the time, its like film companies are doing it just because they have the technology available. I'm quite fortunate in that I have a Cineworld card so I only have to pay £1.50 to see a 3D film (on top of the montly membership cost of unlimited), but I have friends who don't and a 3D film can be very expensive for them to go and see. I also don't like having to put them on top of my normal glasses, when I went to see Tron the other week I ended up taking them off to watch the 2D bits because I was finding it so irritable. I wanted to go and see Green Hornet yesterday as I had the day off and nothing to do but in the end I didnt bother because the cinema isnt showing the 2D version any more.

I think HD and Blu-ray is definitly the way forward in terms of technology but I really hope this obsession TV companies/manufacturers and the film industry has will calm down

Not impressed with censorship

Thing is some film companies are using it as an excuse to whine even more about piracy cutting into profits 'because the movie costs so much more to make'... while they make movies that keep breaking records for takings... Way I figure it, if things were as bad as that, the companies would have gone bust long ago.

The Pittsburgh Steelers beat the NY Jets last night, now the Superbowl in a couple of weeks is between them and the Green Bay Packers, it can ONLY be awesome :D (so good that I actually like both teams and am undecided on which one to root for more, will probably be happy either way really as long as it's a good game, which it looks set to be)

Aha it's me I am back after a loooong absence. What rocks? Well... I live in an awesome house share (We had a problem with housemates.... They trashed the house and threatened to kill me and thankfully they are gone) I have awesome new housemates. I have a gorgeous boyfriend. I am doing a spot of modelling. I am happy. (Hopefully) Old miserable Danni has gone and new happy Danni (or Kitty as people call me these days) is here.

I still don't have a computer but I have my Galaxy S which is good enough hehe.

Danni is back!

Kitty <3

    • It's a bizarre thing though....it would be nice to hear a few more tracks from the past 10 years mixed into daytime. However, at the other extreme, I find it odd how often really old tracks come up on Anthems and even the likes of Soundsystem Party and Dance Anthems.   The odd throwback is great but sometimes it feels too much.
    • I do like Cat Burns but it’s a good point about the many artists on future artists and other specialist shows. If they manage to launch the ‘Anthems’ like sister station hope they make changes to the stations playlist.
    • Some shows do play some songs from pre-2018 regularly. Mainly Matt & Mollie and Radio 1 Breakfast. Also don't forget the shortened Anne-Marie - Ciao Adios which gets played every 26 seconds. 😂
    • I hate reverse snobbery and I post this reluctantly as we shouldn't hold Jamie's background against him, but I do think many listeners will find it hard to identify with Jamie.  One of the things that made Jordan so popular was he sounded like the mate you go for a pint with who always has a great story to tell.
    • Absolutely - life would be dull if we all liked the same things  
    • Dean in for Greg on Tuesday.
    • While it maybe doesn't the power it once has (where being on the A-List was a big deal), It's a big part of the station and I felt probably deserves it's own thread. Have to be honest I haven't been hugely enamored with the playlist in recent times. Radio 1 seem quite heavily wedded to it in weekdays (at least Monday-Thursday) which can lead to the station being repetitive if you listen throughout the day. Even a station like Capital who are known for their limited playlist seem to throw in some older tracks and artists ever so often whereas if it's not Something Songs, 10 Minute Takeover or Anthems you often struggle to hear a song from before 2018. The repetitive nature has been a thing for a while though to be fair - I recall early 2021 in particular it felt like Tiesto's 'The Business' and Olivia Rodrigo's 'Drivers Licence' were played every other hour. Also certain Radio 1 favourites seem almost guaranteed a slot on the playlist even if they don't actually appear to be wildly popular with the target audience to justify it. I get it with your Dua Lipas, Calvin Harrises, Fred Agains  and Olivia Rodrigos as they're all very popular but less so if it's say Cat Burns, Aitch, Royal Blood or Mabel. Which is fine to an extent as Radio 1 has often focussed on promoting new music but then you have great music by other new artists that just never makes it to the playlist as a result.
    • Yep I really struggled with Matt & Jamie which was a shame as otherwise really like Matt. Unfortunately it comes across on-air whether it's actually try or not that Jamie doesn't know a lot about radio and doesn't seem particularly desperate to improve either or if I'm being generous he's playing an act - neither of which particularly appeals. The everyman act can sometimes work but you need to have that natural likability and appeal for it to do so in the way that way Chris Stark did. I mean even towards the end of his stint with Matt Jamie was struggling with getting the Whatsapp number right which is a basic.
    • Have to say even if there is a good reason for Jamie to be off on Thursdays the optics of them a month in still not be able to do a 'normal week' of the scheduled team for a brand new show isn't great. And if Jamie was meant to be away on Thursdays clearly nobody let whoever runs BBC Sounds know. Who would've guessed from the Vick & Jordan days though that it would be Vick who's the everpresent so far (just kidding Vick - really rate her as a DJ and I know she has a lot of other engagements outside of Radio 1).
    • Sorry explain what you mean there please? Danny is unlistenable?? 
    • I dunno if it is me but even Vick and Katie don't sound as good in that slot alone as they did before. Maybe I have just fallen out of love with it all.
    • Agree with most of this above. Listening to only vick and katie today, I was thinking that it doesn't need Jamie. Its very jarring how sometimes he's there and sometimes he isn't. I don't think it needs to be a trio. Surely there are bigger problems at the moment, Danny on a pretty big slot on the station is literally unlistenable.
    • Yes, the length of the time on the station does help as with Annie Mac she did what dance specialist DJs kind of get a bit more favourability with the evening listeners who start out on something specialist. With Annie Mac she did years on dance before going to the flagship new music specialist programme with giving opportunities to new DJs and curating the playlist and having something different from Clara’s more music daytime show where she had to work with the playlist. Had she done more time doing a specialist show later on in the schedule it may have oddly made the moment bigger. Think sometimes what has helped create such a unique sound in presenters and personalities like Annie Mac, Jack and Grimmy for example starting out doing a late show with looser format. Think for the next Jack, Annie and Clara’s of the station do need to have a late live slot and do hope when radio 1 relax is shut down that maybe they change the power down playlist for something with bit more freedom.
    • She is a good broadcaster no doubts but am of the same page with feelings mutual.
