Things That Live Up To The Hype

HD TV - Didn't really appericate this until last week when for some unknown reason we had 2 tvs showing the Real Madrid - Barcelona game, one in HD the other in standard. The difference is unreal. Point is you really need to see them side by side to appreciate.


Berlin - Massive expectations when I went there for the first time on account of the way people raved about it, I was there for a week and loved every second of it.


Leo Messi - Was labelled the next Maradona. He is now much better than Diego ever was. He has exceeded hype.


Kanye West's newest album - Hyped by every critic and the man himself, and then became my favourite album of last year.


Anyone else have any examples of stuff that lives up to the hype?
