    Yes but, its 84 euro for 160gb, when you can get 500gb for 96 euro?

    But the passport 2 is only a small fraction of the size of the my book, therefore clearly the better of the two ;)

    In this case size does matter:D

    Indeed. "Manly" black together with cute, fluffy, adorable pink for the girl - how perfect is that?

    don't know. When I got my DS the guy in best buy tired to push the pink one on me and I just looked at him and said "O i don't think so" The DS is white cus my ipod and psp are black. Both my iMac and powerbook are shinny, sexy sliver [yes I'm an apple whore] Pink is just wrong - the pink PSP is the most awful looking thing.

    The PSP isnt nice in pink but the pink DS is pretty hot.

    My phone is also pink, but everything else is black/silver/white.

    Probably just down to personal preference, everything I own is black / silver.

    My favourite colour is midnight blue, so if I could buy everything in that colour I would. Odds are that some people's favourite colour will be pink, or at least their favourite of colours available.

    I dont do pink. In socks or underwear* or electronic gadgets. I have a two year old who provides all the pink stuff my life needs.


    *oh ok then, when I run out of knickers and have to wear the ones that got dyed in the wash.

    The way I see it is, it's just a colour and everyone has their favourite colours.

    I beg to differ. Pink is definitely a colour we're conditioned to like/dislike - e.g. guys will be adamant they don't like pink, because they're guys.

    Anyway, that's all I'll say... :)

    + saw alot of people buying the DS's leading up the xmas and the general view was the pink one was for girls and the black for boys even thou they are the same machine. Could you imagine giving the pink DS or the awful looking pink PSP to a boy?

    But it could make you a goth. Colour has a significance whether we like it or not. Pink screams girly (cgs dad excepted) why else would the tent city jail in america make its male inmates wear pink undies? Cos they hate it, thats why.

    Black is a colour girls sometimes wear to look sexy, or mysterious, or smaller. White stands for purity etc etc. A colour is not just a colour, when used to extremes, its a statement.

    Ah... pink tech...

    SDooM in work: "This V3 phone is 2 years old, over priced, and will probably break in under 6 weeks. "

    Girl in shop: " It's pink!"

    SDooM "You will regret buying it and I wont be able to swap it. Im the one who will make commision off it and I am still telling you you will regret it!"

    Girl: "It's pink!"

    I had that conversation about a million bloody times.

    ... I'm not bitter though :)

    funnily enough pink has only been a girls colour since the 1940s up until then blue was considered a girls colour and pink for boys.

    Its also associated with gay men as it was used to mark them in the camps by Nazis during the war and now most gay newspapers are printed on pink paper and we use phrases like "pink pound" to refer to gay peoples spending power. Another reason for big manly straight men would avoid the colour.

    Only because it's apparently become "ok" in recent years for men to wear certain pink items of clothing. Would your dad wear a pink hat? Or pink shoes?
    PLus I like black...does that make me a man? noooo......
    I think you'll find it does!

    Oh cheeky_gal, surely you don't think I'm being serious?! I couldn't give a fukk what colour any male or female wears, nor do I think the colours they wear are an indication of how manly/girly or otherwise they are. However, culturally, pink is associated with femininity, black is associated with masculinity (to a point - black, as someone said earlier, can also be associated with female sexuality). Marketers package "female" products in pastel/bright colours, "male" products in "manly" colours like black, grey, navy, and it's very powerful. It has come to the point where girls truly believe they desire only pink, pretty things. Hell, I'm the epitome of non-girly (I don't make a point of it, I'm just not girly) yet I find myself passing the "girls" stationery in Easons with the pretty colours and sparkles and feathers and going back to have another look at them...

    Apparently evolution has had it's hand in making girls attracted to bright colours with picking berries and stuff.

    well its only really in western culture that pink is considered a "girl" colour. In japan for example it's associated with soft porn [the way we have blue movies, in japan they have pink movies pink is the same colour as a womans vagina] so can't really claim evolution. As mentioned earlier its really only a recent thing that pink has become a girls colour.

    I meant bright colours in general, not just pink.
