I wouldn't go out of my way to buy something based on who made it..

I see your point, but i feel like with some brands comes some expectation and that come as part of what you pay for!

Buy a Bush or Alba tv and you just expect it not to last that long because that brand is associated with lower quality but on the other hand, if you buy something like Sony, panasonic etc you feel like you are getting something with a well know pedigree and quality.....

What is wrong in buying something because it is an X brand or Z product? I dont see the harm unless i am missing the point here. With certain product come certain expectation period.
If a product is appealling to the masses, majority of the time it is down to the quality of the product e.g Ipod.

Sony are pretty mid-range though are they not? Because if you want good audio/video systems you can pay ridiculous amounts of money for the top of the range brand names, and I don't believe Sony and Panasonic would be two of those brand names (you certainly can't buy the sort of thing I'm talking about in your local Dixons).

Definitely not, but that was an example i was only giving. If money is not an issue i will still stick to Sony products in some area.

Rubbish, it's purely down to marketing.

The iPod has always been very poorly specced against other similar products. Its just that it looks nice and has a 'cool' image, meaning it has market appeal.

Same goes for a lot of Sony stuff.

Ok i admit i used a wrong example, but one can see where i am coming from though.

Sony stuff are really good in it own class, tell me a sony product you think it is rubbish and give an example of something similar or better and at the same/lower price.
You probably will find one but there's just something about sony, once you are hooked you are hooked!

Just about most stuff they produce.

I'm being serious by the way.

Psp, ps2, dvdcamcorder,plasma tv, Vaio computer, sony(erricson)mobile phone.....all rubbish? Come on non give them a credit. Maybe you wont, your signature says it all

Haha, so because I'm advertising the fact I have a 360 it means I'm anti-Sony? Give me a break.

The point I'm making is while they produce perfectyl adequate products, the prices are generally inflated and the quality of them is less than people would believe.

Sony = Good product (not the best) X Over inflated prices.
Having said that, i still like them. I personally feel people just like to knock sony 'cause it is the cool thing to do i think.

Why has yet another thread descended into 'discussing' peoples choices when the OP asked for people to list what they would buy and at no point invited others to pick holes in their lists?

If someone doesnt like a members choice of product in a list then it can be made clear enough by not listing it in your own

WELCOME TO OCUK!

It's not all like this, its a great community on the whole. It just seems almost a foregone that such threads will get this sort of bs these days
Why cant people just accept difference?

I know but then, maybe we are seeing the dawn of a new age!
Before i use to go all crazy about it but now i just laugh if off. It works better that way.

Kitchen knives - handmade by Frederic Gourd, saw his knives on TV last week and fell in love.

I am not dissing your choice but please explain something to me, what is your fascination with Knives? surely as long as it cuts slash and stainless for kitchen use i wouldnt care less. Or am i missing something :confused:

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,
bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens,
brown paper packages tied up with strings,
these are a few of my favorite things.

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels,
door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles.
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings.
Tthese are a few of my favorite things.

Chocolate by Lindt (and Sprungli)

Dont all chocolate taste the same? (ignoring the flavours and nuts added)

Nope

The reason im saying is this - when i buy any chocolate, i always end up having the same base taste at the end, i dont know if that makes any sense.
