Well, I now have a whole NINE people watching my item. Today I finally got around to cleaning up and taking a photo of the amp ready for sale. I am still actually using it, and it still works so awesomely… I don’t know how I’ll go for those few weeks without a amplifier/receiver.

So people can see EXACTLY what they are buying, here’s a pic of it.

 It’s beautiful isn’t it? When you plug it in, and bring around your mates, it’s just like… “Woooooow…”

Oh yeah, I don’t fool around when it comes to awesomely loud and clear sound. 

For those (in Australia) who are looking for a kick-ass premium home-theatre amp (well, mid-class, depending on who’s talking), I have one for sale on eBay. 

Ah, the Onkyo TX-SR603 7.1 Channel A/V Receiver. It is a fantastic amplifier, and still does blow me away. I used it only half an hour ago to enjoy the fourth installment of the Harry Potter franchise (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire). Yes, I know, I’m a little behind the times. I thought I might finally watch it.

So anyhow, I’m selling it because I need HDMI. What? You say… High Definition Multimedia Interface. Oh, it’s just like the latest and greatest with digital A/V connections. … I won’t go into detail.

I have listed the amp for $699, not bad considering it is less than 2 years old and was originally worth $1399 (RRP). I have all the original packaging and manuals for it. It is also the last of the 600-series amps to get the awesome chunky remote (the new models have a pathetic cheap plastic remote), and the blue glow is soooo damn cool!

The amp was (and still is) very popular, and considered great value for money. To be honest, I actually much prefer the look and feel of this one to the new models. I am going to stick with Onkyo for my new amp (probably the TX-SR705B, retail $1899), but I really think the new models are getting a bit cheap. They have lost that ‘tough, muscle’ feel to them. Nevertheless, I want HDMI, so I upgrade.

It will be sad to part with it… I have shared many awesomely loud hours with it.

Happy bidding! 

I know this video has been cycling around the web for quite some time already, scoring (at time of writing) just shy of 395,000 views. If you haven’t yet seen this, do yourself a favour, and watch it now. Don’t delay, just watch it.

The team from Alrugo Entertainment have brought us one of the biggest previews of the year!

You may have seen spiderman and the green goblin before around here.

Congratulations to Dario, Will, David and the rest of the team at Alrugo. Absolute geniuses.

UPDATE (22/05): Episode #1 now available.

Well it has been another long time since I last posted anything - this is mainly because I have a hatred of Internet Explorer, and am well aware that my website is IE-incompatible, yet CAN NOT for the life of me, work out WHY IE won’t play ball. What makes it harder is that I’m on a mac, and need to run downstairs each time to test IE on my housemates PC.

Also, Christmas and New Years are somewhat busy for me. I mean, they are busy for us all - but those who work in retail would know that it is STUPIDLY busy. Up until this week, it has been really crazy with all the post-christmas and new-year sales on. It’s actually kind of nice to be able to put my feet up.

Thursday if I’m not too hungover I’ll tell some stories. For now, WordPress needs upgrading, and I need to sleep.
