I try to understand jims anger with this but I cant get it. Not because hes wrong, hes probably right just because I cant get it
I own my psx, ps2, ps3, psp and keep every old system I have and every old game so I dont have to deal with digital foolishness.
I am looking inside the window of digital failures I guess.

Honestly it didn't even occur to me to download the games off of PSN directly to Vita. I've always used the PS3 as a hub for everything Vita related. Maybe I just get it but the first thing I did was buy the games I wanted on PS3 download and move the uninstalled files to Vita without ever being told that's the only way to do it. Why the uninstalled file? Cause I wasn't installing it on PS3, seems like common sense.
No game deserves to be pirated, and no amount of qualifying that statement with an "almost" will make it accurate.
"If piracy is a question of service more than money, than Sony truly deserves every ounce of piracy it gets."
Tell that to the half dozen first party studios Sony shut down this generation because their games weren't profitable enough, and the hundreds, maybe thousands of people who lost the only way they can feed themselves and their familes. Many of which made PSP titles, a platform which was crippled by the ease of piracy.
And you wonder why Sony went to court over the PS3 hacking issue, and why they're being so fucking cautious about PS1 games after a number of digital PSP games were used to hack the Vita.
We get it. Sony has some fucking problems with its content distribution, but I think you're really missing the point Jim.
*Holds flame shield*
Oh, and please don't act like the Apple ecosystem is so much better. It's just as bad, just in completely different ways. That is NOT the direction I want Sony to go in. AT ALL. Most core gamers in this industry would agree.
But yea, your AT-AT analogy is right on. I can't argue with that, anyway. I just don't think your frustration is properly directed.

"Pirates always, ALWAYS, provide the better product."
Wow. That is not even close to being true. They provide a free product. They might disable undesirable things like DRM. They rarely provide a better service than the people who actually get paid money to provide those services.
One of the reasons why I purchase games legit from Steam, GoG, and physical copies is because those services are worth the money compared to the free copies I can through torrents. People don't pay others money for products and services out of the kindness of their hearts.

@Stealth - You don't get it because you don't understand convenience, but instead just understand clinging to old hardware most people sensibly would replace over time.
remember that psvita clone archos showed us. The biggest argument why it would be better than the psvita resulted in emulators, emulators that offered far better psp and ps1 compaitbility than the psvita offered and the fact that you can get memory for the device a lot cheaper. This is all something sony could have fixed.
Umad ctg867? Did pirates kill your family? You poor baby.
It's pretty simple. You aren't entitled to a profitable business or a job. You have to have a model that is sustainable which means you need to convince people to buy your products and services. "Pirates" didn't take away anyone's jobs. That's nonsense. They simply redistributed files. It's up to the businesses to compete or take a hike.
Plenty of other game companies seem to do just fine and the industry is always growing in spite of people sharing files. If Sony wants to stay in the game, they had better play it better or they'll run out of lives. Jim is 100% correct in this video.

@The Silent Protaganist
I'll ask this then in regards to your stealth reply, if you kept all of your old systems and they work perfectly fine, why re-purchase titles if no worthwhile changes were made (such as going from console to a portable or a graphic/controls overhaul)? If there is no need to get rid of the older device then why waste the money? That doesn't seem "sensible" at all
In the end the benefits of digital vs physical depends on the circumstance

I have no moral issues downloading a game I've already purchased once or twice.
Trying to get me to do so will only make me pull out my PSP and tell you to fuck off.
Trying to convince me that I'm obligated to do so will only make me laugh.

Actually, you just encouraged me to pirate Grandia. I lost my disk a long time ago so I'll have to download it now. Thanks Jim.

"It's up to the businesses to compete or take a hike. "
If im reading this correctly you are suggesting that the people who make the content should compete against those who steal it and distribute it for free.
If that's what you're saying then you are a fucking genius. Tell me, how do you compete with someone giving away your product for free? Because I can't think of how any business could compete with that model bar giving away their product which is counterproductiveto the whole "business" side of things.
Get back to me on that please. I'm desperate to read something from you that would actually work because so far all you've typed is bullshit.

Just to be clear: Pirates don't provide a better product; they provide someone else's product for free.
its true as much as i like my ps3 theres a reason why im scared to turn it on. to get a update and wait a hour to play it. same thing goes for the game updates. why are updates on my xb360 and pc download in less then a minute but on the ps3 it takes 20 minutes to download and then install which takes up half an hour.. the other day i wanted to play heavy rain to bad i forgot that it had a update and ended up waiting almost an hour for the updates. even at that im going to get a vita, sold my old psp and preorded the assasins creed vita. but yea kinda weird how people are so excited to play ps1 games even if you could play those in the old psp.. as soon as sony gets the ball rolling the ps vita is going to be great but right now its kinda bad. im just getting one early on.
@Donuts - Because I have a 3DS that does it, a iPhone that does it, a PS2 and Wii that do it
Technology is about convergence now. Do you use a phone only for phone calls. I use mine for web browsing at lunch, I might use it or my 3DS to run Netflix while I play Skyrim on my Xbox, Xenoblade on my Wii or SMT Nocturne on my PS2.
I would love for PS Vita to be part of that amazing experience.
Options, portability, convenience - this is what technological progress provides us. Stealth apparently takes pride in building a better fire hazard in a cluttered living space. I take pride in the fact that I have space for other things and when I step out the door there are 50 games on my 3DS and a virtual swiss army knife in my iPhone.

Whoa hold up now. While I agree somewhat with Jim's video, don't dismiss a completely valid point made by ctg867 with your BS comments. Given how easy it is to pirate on the PSP, Gameboy series, and DS series, you would be insane to believe that a majority of people pirating would buy a game they already beat once. If said game doesn't meet a set sales quota how do you expect companies to continue running? How exactly do they 'compete' when production costs are greater than sales? You think they can waltz in to a sales pitch with "we were the most pirated game in 2013" and expect to get funding?
Whatever, I'm starting to get riled up. Jim had a few good points about Sony but ctg867 also has a strong point in how some statements need to be cleared up.

I could careless about the PS1 one games but SONY does need to put MUCH needed attention to their network speeds. The fact it took me 2 and a half hours just to download the update to PayDay the heist is crazy (which was 3GB and something that my 30Mbit/s connection and PC can just rip through)
I also agree that their updates seem to focus on areas that don't really need focusing on or are there for niche users (as can be seen by the LUDACRIS amounts of options in various settings menus)
HOWEVER at the end of the day you still make me want to punch babies Sterling :)

I got nothin to say about the rest, but as for this part: "How exactly do they 'compete' when production costs are greater than sales?"
Get production costs down. Be clever about your game instead of paying through the nose for super graphics. Devs back in the day had to make all sorts of short cuts and tricks to make a game look better than it actually was.

ctg867 didn't make a single valid point. He's wrong. What I explain is basic economics and basic property rights. It's up to the developers or publishers to find ways to market their products. If they can't do that, they go out of business just like anyone else. It's up to them to figure out how to market their goods. Crying about "pirates" is no different than candlestick makers crying about lightbulbs. There's an ever changing environment and if you can't adapt, you won't be successful. It's up to the entrepreneur to use their own genius to determine how best to adapt.

You compete by providing a better product. A product that gets bug fixes and patches faster than the pirated version. A product that lets you interact with the products community be it with mods, multiplayer content or even something as simple as letting you talk to other people while in your game. You make updates automatic and non-intrusive. I shouldn't have to stop playing to download an update, just to install it when it's done downloading. Probably the worst offender marking the "inferior but official product" is exclusive pre-order bonus'. The developers put in the effort to make all this extra content only to lock out portions of their audience depending on where they bought it? Pirates can just lump it all in and actually get a full product. If there's anything killing the games industry it's the idea that they can't compete with piracy, because they can and some companies do it very well.

"Tell me, how do you compete with someone giving away your product for free?"
Well gosh. If they couldn't compete then they'd all go out of business and there would be no more video games for sale. Let's look around. Is the video game market dead? No? Ok then. I guess plenty of video game companies are doing quite a good job at competing.
And "their product" makes me laugh. They own what they made and nothing more. You can't own the right to distribution of information/data. You can't own ideas while trying to share them. You can make something and try to maintain control over the distribution to the best of your ability. That's all you can do.
If I make a cool recipe, I own it. I can keep it to myself. Or I can share it and determine certain conditions for sharing it. But if I do that, I take the risk that it might be shared to others without my permission. I can make a game but if I share it I take that same risk. It's up to me to determine how to control the supply if I hope to make money off of it. It's up to me to assess the potential risks and benefits.

@ctg867 Agree with you pretty much completely. Just because the service isn't convenient doesn't mean we have a right to steal someone's work, especially when it only causes further problems.
The PSP was never inconvenient, yet arsewipes went and pirated stuff anyway, because they could, which arguably contributed to the creation of these shite Vita memory cards and 'certification' processes. Although these could easily be less expensive and more convenient, Sony.
Either way, I'm never going to pirate a product worth my money, because that's not the way to go. Jim said recently how we shouldn't boycott games, but complain instead, and that's exactly how we should approach this too.

Seems like a dangerous mind set to even talk as though pirates provide anything.
This isn't some robin hood shit. This is something hundreds and thousands of people work hard to create being stolen and distributed for free.
Just because pirates unlock this content faster and cheaper than the devs and publishers shouldn't mean they have to compete. Its almost insane go suggest otherwise.
How would you feel if someone hacked your shit and distributed it for free. How would you feel if, after that, you saw comments from a bunch of lunatics suggesting that you (the creator of the content) had to compete with a bunch of thieving fucking scum.
I'm going to go ahead and guess you would be pretty pissed.
This place is getting worse.

Sir Jimothy! Great speech again, I agree with you fully too, I've heard that the PS1 emulation they've got on there is really the same as the PSP had which apparently wasn't so great, so thats fucking lazy and a shame if its true. Sony owns the hardware they should be able to make it cutting edge, but I guess they're good old marketing team sat and crunched the numbers and legacy support for the vita won't make big enough bucks to be worth their time.

That took 30 seconds.
Now im going to make a game. I'm going to employ 30 people to help. Its going to take 2 years. I'm going to spend a few hundred thousand advertising it, producing it, distributing it.
oh look. My recipe and my game have been stolen. What's going to hurt me more?
As far as assessing the risks is concerned there is little to be done about that. You either make you're product and tighten piracy restrictions or you do the opposite. Pirates are going to pirate regardless of how the business operates. Even indie darlings get their games fucked by pirates. "pay what you want for my game" = hundreds of thousands of assholes paying jack squat.
Stop blaming devs for the morally reprehensible practise of piracy.

FUCKING RESISTANCE 3! Jesus fucking Christ. Shut up about that stupid install already!!! Shut up! No one cares! Do you realize you've probably argued about the install in Resistance 3 10x as long as the actual install itself?
I don't necessarily dispute some of your points Jimothy, I'm just really not a big fan of being a piracy apologist and that's what I feel like this is, or it's at least dangerously close to it. There's a very very fine line between "this encourages piracy" and "this excuses piracy" and it's not a line I like to see anyone dance around, frankly.
@Bakewell
"Pirates are going to pirate regardless of how the business operates"
This isn't really about hardcore pirates, but rather about the grey zone that would usually buy games, but may pirate under certain circumstances, for example, when there is a chance the game you paid for will not work due to some issues the pirate version doesn't have - such as always on drm.
In order to earn back those actually lost sales it is necessary to remove the reasons why these people would pirate the game. In terms of Jim's argument however, I don't think having to download the game to a ps3 and move it over uninstalled is a major issue of the sort that leads to piracy. Not knowing which games work and which don't is a much more serious issue. Why would you buy a PS1 classic in order to play it on the Vita, if you weren't sure if it actually worked...

@Tristrix: It's way more than close to piracy apologist. He flat out says, if Sony doesn't make a service that maximizes convenience for me in every way I want right this second, they "DESERVE" to have all their software pirated. It really can't get much more blatant than that. He may think it's an Apple-centric, convenience "sells" kind of philosophy; but really it's way past that.
No one seems to ever talk about the work that goes into pirating on a handheld. It's definitely more than transferring a game from your PS3, like this video complains about.
That kind of makes this whole argument look horribly naive. It's not about convenience every time. Sometimes people just want to pirate your games because it's free, and they don't give a shit about the repercussions to the industry, publishers and dev teams. They don't care about convenience. They'll look for torrents, download it on their PC, transfer it over to their system, after going to the trouble of hacking their system of course and constantly making sure they avoid updates. So convenient!

When I bought my first PSP in Hong Kong like 7 years ago it came with modded firmware and three DVDs with every single PSP title to date. I can totally understand proprietary memory sticks sand constant firmware updates. I'm gonna be generous with this guess but even if half of the pirates in the west pirate previously purchased games for the sake of convenience, half download to get something for free. But in places like mainland China guys like Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony are being forced to compete with 80 cent bootlegged Software. I bet Microsoft stuck with DVDs on the 360 because in China even if 100,000 people buy chipped Xbox units Microsoft still sold 100,000 pieces of hardware...it's the developers that make nothing
Fair enough. My point is, we don't steal things because it's too darned inconvenient to buy them. We're adults and hopefully we were raised better than that. It's perfectly valid to criticize the inconvenience of something and suggest avoiding it. That's fine. I still disagree on some points but that's fine. Bringing theft into it weakens the argument though.
All of this is just indicative of a much bigger problem at Sony in general. They failed to move with the times. Remember when Sony was the biggest and most innovative company out there? Remember the Walkman, the PS1, or the CD Player? All Sony inventions. Sony used to attract the best and the brightest people in the industry. What happened?
Just like so many Japanese companies these day, somehow they didn't continue to innovate and were passed by right around the time when the whole "Web 2.0" revolution happened. Right when networks because more important that the hardware accessing them. Even after all this time Sony still doesn't understand how poor networking can bring your whole company down. This is why Xbox Live out-pace's PSN over and over and over again despite the PSN having some of the most mature and enticing games this generation.

@Shinta: I can see your point, but in reality, it isn't that hard to crack a PSP. Last time I looked you only had to transfer one file over and run it from your PSP. Done. One time thing. Avoiding updates is cake too, just don't play online. Ever. The online service was bullshit anyway.
Then after that, it really is just a matter of putting the game on your system.
Not really disagreeing, I have no comment on morality here, just pointing things out. I do however NOT care in the slightest if the whole gaming industry falls apart. Humans like games, they'll keep making them regardless.

Incase anyone wants to know, Steam got me off of piracy. I Don't pirate games anymore, well I did just download some old school 16bit games because extra creditz put me up to it.
Why did steam make me stop, because it's a better service than pirate bay. Make a better service and people would buy the games. Sony clearly haven't noticed this.
piracy= tonnes of games, easily played, for free.

I play games i already bought 20 years ago on my pc. it's easy and they run well. games companies need to convince me to buy it again. they've already had my money. if they want more money, they need to give a reason for it.
convenience is a good reason. and trophies.
I'm considering buying final fantasy 7 again. because on the ps3 it has trophies. there's no other good reason to do so.
companies do need to realise that if they treat us like mugs, we're going to go and bypass their BS.
I tried to buy music on amazon in mp3 format. instead of making it easy they started asking me to install software. so I went to pirate bay. I would have liked to give them money, but they decided to make it difficult for me.
