Up Close and Personal with the Playstation 2

Stephen writes "Futurelooks.com decided to borrow (since we couldn't find one to buy) a Playstation 2 and review it. Since it was an "evaluation unit" anyhow, after we were done and almost sick of it, we decided to rip it apart and take some inside shots for you." The folks from Futurelooks keep submitting stories to me, and they keep trying to format them in weird ways. Apparently, they have their own ideas on interface design because their webpage has (perhaps) the worst navigational tools I've seen in a while. They also make you go through 5 useless pages until you get to the actual photos of the PS2 being taken apart.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Re: FutureLooks makes baby Jesus cry
Thanks for your comments. No really, actually, I can't agree more. We're working on a super revamped version of the site and will be releasing it in the New Year. Our goals are to:
1. Make it load faster.
2. Improve Navigation.
3. Simplify the graphics and make it cleaner.
However, I don't think we did a bad job considering we only cracked open the HTML and Webdesign books less than 9 months ago. We're learning something new every day :)

Re: reply to stephenfung
We're listening, but there's not a heckuva lot we can do right now, unless you want to cough up the cash and move us right now ;)
But thanks for the comments...
