Sounds like an old cam-corder.  Put it this way: 4 years ago, when I 
worked at Best Buy (not the cheapest shop, mind you), you could buy an 
SD camcorder for <$200 (that's about GBP130).  You could buy a really 
nice HD one for $800 (GBP500 or so).

You can get a PS3 for $399 now (GBP 250), or a stand-alone player for 
$200 (GBP 130).

You need to get new friends, the ones you have are affecting your 
viewpoint :)
