Let's poke fun at Sony and their PS3
luvmysegadc \| 8:32 PM on 10.22.2007	8 comments

Sony has always been a thorn in my ass, contributing to the quick and painful death of some of my favorite gaming systems, the Sega Saturn and the Sega Dreamcast. But I have always respected Sony. It appeared that they could do no wrong.

Then came the PS3. Ridiculous price tag, one good game at launch, various complaints about not enough dev support for 3rd party developers, multi-platform titles regularly being delayed for their system, and being outsold by not only by the "young upstarts" at Microsoft with the Xbox 360, but the so called "casual" gaming system from Nintendo, the Wii.

Can we all together scream "WTF, Sony?!"

I know he isn't that bright, but G.W. Bush could do a better job at selling the PS3 than Sony is doing now. Waiting for "MGS 4" is not a good enough reason for me to buy a PS3. The current "price drop" and lack of backwards compatibility for the newer 40 GB system isn't helping either.

And the following articles doesn't bode well for the future of the world's best (and cost efficient) Blu-Ray player. Take a look at the following and tell me what you think.

EDITOR'S NOTE: For you PS3 fanboys out there, the title of this blog says "Let's poke fun at Sony..." , not "I hate Sony" or "PS3 Sucks!" or "360 PWND PS3 and yo mama". Get your panties out of a bunch and learn how to read. Besides, what's stopping any of you from blogging "Let's poke fun at Microsoft and their Xbox 360"?

Well, Sony is usually slow off the start. This time around they tried to push the Ps3 as the "everything" player. And as a Gamer, I want games. Good games. So far Sony has nothing on my radar. Nothing.

I think you should hide this blog, nobody appreciates flamebait loaded with last year's and last week's news.

Hey I'm not trying to be one of those fanboys. I'm just baffled at the path Sony has taken. Like I said, I respect Sony, but they aren't doing anything to get me to drink their kool-aid right now.

...Or are you just mad because I picked on "Dubbya"?

Oh, God. Troll alert! Quick! Open the shed and grab the pitchforks!

Let me first state that I am a PS3 owner and that has not once stopped me from calling out Sony on their stupid antics.

But that doesn't mean the PS3 has done nothing right. There are plenty of great games coming to it this holiday season, starting now, so developers' positions will probably be different once this holiday season is over. This is just all old tired news.

Who in their right mind would be mad because you picked on Dubya? He's a dipshit, just like anyone at Sony who wears a suit.

You sir stand for everything holy, also i agree.

The triple is well on it's way to being a great system. In fact, i have a lot of fun playing the downloadable games off of the PSN. Everyday Shooter comes to mind. Also looking forward to Jericho. Just because Sony might be retarded, doesn't mean all their mistakes aren't just shots in the dark to try and impress us.
