As long as the #\'s are acurrate, I\'m all for it!  We can have something visually concrete to argue about!

Nice.  The PS2 is pulling ahead.  Hopefully the Japanese are looking forward to Devil May Cry just as much as FFX, because once the FFX hype dies down, the PS2 needs another title to keep it selling.

Maybe make the lines for each console a bit thicker. I\'m color blind and lines that thin are impossible for me to tell the difference. If they are a bit thicker, it\'s easier for me. Maybe others have this problem, I don\'t know. It\'s a nice idea though.

Really?  I\'m colorblind too!  (red/green)  I had to ask someone to tell me which line was what!

Whoa! And I thought I had bad eyes........ oh well... I\'d rather have that then being freakin\' near-sighted.

I\'m also near-sighted, and havs an astigmatism.

One more thing, My cornea is really thin, an dmy eyesight on the "near blind" side (6.8).

So what does this all mean?  I tired to see if laser surgery would work, first of all they\'d have to do the old procedure, For 3 day\'s I\'d be blind, slowly regaining sight.  (Most people can have Lasic done, 20/20 vision in under 3 hours.)

Also, they could only guarentee 20/40 vision!

.
.
.

So to recap:

I\'m colorblind, nearsighted, astimatism, thin cornea, and laser surgery cannot fix it.  By the time I\'m 40, it\'s been predicted that I\'ll have to add in the need for Bi-Focals.

Anybody got worse?  (Other than completely blind, of corse.)

I\'m not even going to ask what an astigmatism is. :D

I don\'t have perfect vision, but pretty close (maybe 19/20 vision).

Nice chart. Yeah keep up the good work.

My eye site ain\'t great, im short sighted so I wear glasses, which the prescription has just became stronger. Also now im seeing "floaters" in my eyes.

If your wondering what they are, the eyeball jelly contains protien, microscopic amounts. Over the years these bump into each other and eventually visible clusters are created and can be seen. You don\'t see them all the time and you have to look for them. So its not like there constantly there. Once you have found them they look like black spots in front of your eyes. If you look up they move up, if you look down they move down, you can never get a direct look at them. They are perfectly normal and alot of people may have them, everyone eventually gets them but yeah im fairly young to have them. Doesn\'t effect eye site though.

There is no such thing a 19/20.  20/19, but not 19/20.

Basically the first 20 never changes.  20/50 translatres to:

What is normally seen clearly at 20 ft. away, looks as if they are 50 ft. away.

So, 20/19 is actually better than 20/20 (and also possible).

What is normally seen clearly at 20 ft. away, looks as if they are only 19 ft. away!

Some contacts can give people 20/15 vision.

Astigmatism is when my eyes are shaped wrong.  They\'re supposed to be shaped round, perfect spheres.  My eyes are shaped more like footballs.  You can\'t tell by looking at me, it\'s shaped wrong on the inside.
