Teletext page 480 is digitiser, A place to read reviews,previews,the latest charts and cheats.


I've been reading the digitiser pages for a few weeks now and I've never read such gibberish in all my life,They are completly biased and diss everything in sight,The letters they recieve are given a stupid childish remark and they are in a word thick.

I hope none of you read this trash because the point of reviews and to "critic" something is to state your point of view of a game and maybe note it's Good parts and it's faults,They just give it a mark and say in fewer word nah this aint good get this instead.

The only thing good on the Teletext pages are the up to date charts but these can be found on ceefax's similar servive on page 535 and they have more mature people,better service and more interesting reviews.

how many of you actually read digitiser?

Digitiser biased?

Only towards the crap consoles mate!!

Basically they're brutally honest.

Single format mags always show their console as the best.
Multiformat mags look for the best in all formats.
Digitiser brutally tell it how it is.

The PS2 deserves the slating they're giving it.
It didn't nearly live up to the hype, even if most of it's owners are happy with it.
They're not biased against it. They love some of it's games like Starfighter, Red Faction, SSX and Extermination.

As for the letters page. People don't go there to ask proper questions. People just put there views there, just like this forum.

I understand that it doesn't replace your favourite paper mag but it's so unique and honest that you should read it every day as well as your usual stops for info.

I can understand why everyone thinks the're biased. They do slate everyone but it's funny on the letters page when you see 3 different letters:

Why are you so biased against Sega?

Stop being so biased against Sony!!

What have you got against Microsoft anyway???


They're being nice to Nintendo right now after being very impressed with the Gamecube but it's only a matter of time before the big N slips...

Digi's great. It has a fat pig, mock draw ups of Bill Gates, nice reviews that are actually honest, peculiar letters, views of certai stereotypes (e.g. a Sega zealot and a PS magazine writer), and above all, Mr. T and his BINS.

I used to read Digi. I liked it quite a lot. But the problem is that I do not get a good Channel 4 reception in my area. It is alright for programmes but the text is now scrambled. It has been getting worse and worse. They did diss most things but they did at least know what was good. And they gave the DC a good word or two. Shame no one else supported it well like them.

I don't really aggree. I quite like didgi and have even sent a few emails for their hot topics. I know that they often give child like remarks and they are always saying they are drunk but they do offer good news reports and I would say they are a lot harsher than most mags, which I think is a good thing.

Didgi isn't the best thing in the world but its ok. And it's free. Alot better than the ceefax one anyway thats for sure.
