4/28

I interviewed seven people in total

The age range was 19 45.

The younger age group was found at Nowra with the age range being 19-20 and the age group at Warrawong being 22-45.

There was a great difference in ownership of Game consoles between individuals and no clear pattern obvious in areas.

I think its a soft ware issue. Its well built and all. I think its just a commonsoft ware issue that all of them have. The red ring of death is just a common fault caused by soft ware problems. Joyce Maine

I assume so Domayne

Yes Harvey Norman

No. (shakes head) - Gametraders

I dont really know much about the make-up of a console. But with the ps3 having alaser in it, i would say no. Good Guys

Short term no. Long term possibly. Power wise consoles dont use that much energycompaired to other electronics. The only issue with them would be the amount of metaland plastic, but they could reuse that and there is always a way to recycle plastic.

-Joyce Mayne

Well most of them would have some sort of chemical in them, like mercury, so probably not. Domayne

Y eah, They are fun to play with so they are environmentally friendly. They keep peopleoff the street. Harvey Norman


24/28

To tell you the truth I couldnt care less about the environment. But Ive readreports that Sony is better than Nintendo with their products. Kmart

Y es. But they are degrading in the environment too EB Games

No. - Gametraders


25/28

Do you think that game consoles are affecting thamounts of E-Waste or dont affect it?

Th e amount of games t h at t h e kids h ave defiantly effects t h e amount of e-waste. Good Guys

Definatly, if w h at you said before is w h at e-waste means, t h an yes. JoyceMayne

Most probably Domayne

* Did not ask at Harvey Norman


26/28

Current consoles no. Old ones maybe would be. People keep t h em usuallyand leave t h em in t h eir cupboards. Kmart

To a certain degree. EB Games

Yes, personally I trade mine in. Most people out t h ere destroy t h e h ardrivesand keep parts. We recycle in h ere. We h ave an xbox as our door stop in t h eback. But I t h ink are people are unaware and just t h row t h eir stuff out. -Gametraders
