<content:encoded><![CDATA[Well I'm not sure about America but in Australia/New Zealand you do not buy a new cylinder and instead you replace the old empty one for a new refilled one.. Its an actual exchange and it only costs $30 for a 60L one.. (and that's direct from Sodastream themselves .. cheaper from retailers)<br />
<br />
The syrup costs RRP of $6.95 and seeing as a 2L bottle of coke from the supermarket costs when not on special of average $4.00 (a 1.25Litre bottle costs approx $2.80) Sodastream is very cost effective here.. The UK is equivalent in costs of coke/pepsi and savings I am told too.<br />
<br />
Though I agree with you about the pressure difference's and the 'fizz' it doesn't really give.]]></content:encoded>

<title>Sodastream Ripoff</title>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[I feel sorry for people who buy the Sodastream if they are thinking its going to save them money. If you look at the cost of the consumables $40 for CO2 tank it carbonates 60L then the syrups average $8 they make 12L. So 1 CO2 cylinder plus 5 syrups will cost you $90 after tax (13% sales tax here) that breaks down to a cost of $1.50 per litre. Thats more then the cost of the major brands charge and in some cases double.<br />
<br />
Also the Sodastream does a bad job when it comes to carbonating it only carbonates at 15psi. Many sodas need higher carbonation levels such as  colas they are better served at 30psi.<br />
<br />
Like Rekrul pointed out there are many cheaper ways to build a carbonator and you can buy the syrup from many sources. You can even buy your favorite Coke or Pepsi flavours if your willing to pay the premium price. My rig cost me $20 it consists of a CO2 bike pump and a tubeless tire valve.]]></content:encoded>

Google has money, money the **AA's like to claim was only made by 'stealing' their content.<br />

They intend to bury Google in notices until its just more cost effective to let them have their own unchecked removal system and pay a portion of the profits to the **AA's.<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[So tell me...when authors on Techdirt gripe that an entire niche of the video game market is declining due to some asshole trying to curb piracy by making selling a used game cost prohibitive...even though the discs they store games on are made to make it nigh impossible to back up or copy them...that they are somehow shilling or advocating piracy?<br />
<br />
<br />
Here's the GODDMNED scoop ace...the reason why most of these games on the previous generation were so successful is that people could trade in their games, that they have finished, for others to enjoy.  When you take away the ability to do that through a cost prohibitive fee, you are basically killing your own success.   Not only does word not spread so quickly about how awesome the game is, but the used game market makes it more affordable to enjoy games.]]></content:encoded>
