I agree with aStRaLgOd, although the Intel Pentium 4 Advert is equally as bad. Both the normal alien one in the spaceship and the mobile P4 advert where the alien is floating in space.

Very bad, they should have stuck to the blue men...

The absolute WORST computer-related commercial I've ever seen has to be for a company called the "Buck A Day Company."

They are trying to sell this IBM NetVista PC (making it out to sound oh so powerful with it's 64 MB of RAM and 20 GB HDD) to people for only a dollar a day.

What's worse? The commercial is played to the song "Better off Alone" by Alice Deejay, however it's not the official song. They changed the lyrics to fit their products, asking consumers "do they really want a clone..."

If you haven't seen it, just watch any major Canadian TV network (such as CityTV, Space, CBC or CTV) and you'll see it <:)

It has to be one of the WORST commercials ever!

Same Here, Also I heard that if you have a DELL computer and you try to change the OS your warranty voids.

That's why DELL sucks the most ;)

Nope. That is incorrect. I got a Dell about 18 months ago with a 3-year warranty, and I upgraded it from Windows 98 to Windows XP without a hitch. One time I had a problem, so I called them up. They asked me what OS I'm using. I said Windows XP. They just transferred me to their Windows XP tech support, which fixed it in about 10 minutes. No problems about warranty. Also, I had to get it serviced not too long ago because my motherboard got messed up. I called Dell, they sent a technician over two days later, and he replaced my motherboard and upgraded my processor for free. The guy even checked it for me to make sure it is working properly.

Now I could've done most of this by myself, but since it is still under warranty, I could have this done for free. I called them up to get a technician over, and I just kicked back, opened a can of beer, and told him, "Get to it, buddy." :p

      Really? Despite the memory price rises, nothing can kill it? I thought something would.

    • Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote

      Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe After years of waiting, Rockstar will be solidifying the launch date of Grand Theft Auto VI with the launch of pre-orders next week. While the studio has confirmed a date for this occasion, it is yet to attach a price to the highly anticipated game. So let's see what our readers think it will cost at launch. The Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will kick off on June 25 for digital and physical editions. Unless some last-minute changes happen, the release date will be November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Unfortunately, there's still no information about a PC version from the developer or the publisher Take-Two. Now the question becomes, how much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost at launch? The game is predicted by some analysts to be the biggest launch of an entertainment product ever. With the amount of hype that has been built behind it and with ballooning development costs, Take-Two may price this Grand Theft Auto entry differently from other AAA titles. The current price of a AAA game is $69.99. That norm almost rose to $79.99 before calming down. But with such a massive release, Grand Theft Auto VI may be the game that pushes the boundary again. It's also possible that Take-Two keeps the price relatively low to increase the number of players that jump in early and keep them hooked on Grand Theft Auto Online to spend on microtransactions for years to come. Keep in mind that the below poll is asking for a prediction of the standard edition price, not a deluxe or any other special edition that Take-Two will introduce for additional benefits. Also, there is the chance of the company splitting up the campaign and online portions. If you think that will happen, put your vote on what you think will be the total cost of the two. Poll Poll: How much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost? $59.99 $69.99 $79.99 $89.99 $100 or more Submit Vote If you have a very specific prediction in mind, sound off in the comments below.
