My name is Tony Sticks and I'm maintaining what I call BMW E36 Blog. So, does this mean that I'm working for BMW and that I'm doing the same trick Sony did but for BMW!!! As a matter of fact, I would love to get paid from BMW for what I'm doing but sorry to disappoint you. I'm not. How did you get to that? Come on ... BTW, I received this question on my website here http://www.bmwe36blog.com/2007/01/13/my-bmw-e36-318is-nice-photos/ Please read that and stop accusing me. Best regards, Tony Sticks Bill Hunt,

Even BMW are at it - http://www.bmwe36blog.com/ puports to be written by 'Tony Sticks' who "recently purchased" ... "this cool addition to the BMW range". Oh please.

Unfortunately, I think the only way to get future versions of the game would be to stick with the PS3. Sucks. Thanks man, here's to a fruitful TBH in the future. =) Tony, too bad for Sony, but right now I just really want Gran Turismo!

I understand that Sony has well and truly bet The Farm on the PS3, since it has spent so much cash on the PS3, is losing so much cash per unit, and seems to be tanking in nearly ALL of its other domains: TV's, home theatre systems, MP3 players etc. Also seems like Time happens to agree that the PS3 is teh huge bust. ;) http://www.joystiq.com/2006/12/18/time-magazine-deems-ps3-a-bust/ Cheers ... and great to have you aboard, mate ;) t Ah, Markku … that’s if they survive this current round of hardware and marketing follies.

Add to that the fact that the PS3 isn't living up to its hype. If they weren't as big as they are now, they could've folded with all the blunders committed. Hopefully though, they recover soon enough to fight with the new market leaders and drive innovations for the consumers' benefit. It’s sad that Sony can’t seem to do things right these days.
