Its a shame as i loved Sony, i grew up on their systems...oh well.
And dont make me hurt you DesalationReborn!

My wife says it wrong all the time cos shes an american and i give her a hard time about it all the time cos its one of my favourite words.

So am I right or wrong? I sound just like that recording.

Niether of the two you wrote is how its pronounced, as that is the wrong way to pronouce it. Its more like "bol-locks", as you cans ee its spelt the same way as the word itself, but if you split it up like that and then say it quickly you end up pronouncing it right.

If you watch foreign programs
just enough, (Americans get British shows all the time. Hell, I get BBC.) you can figure out how to pronounce any word.

Problem is, not everyone pronounces written script the same, so we may be thinking the same thing. Think Mid-Western dialect.

Why the PS2? It was one of the best consoles ever. It had a gigantic, versatile library, with more developers behind it than Xbox or Gamecube.
Do you mean the PS3?
