Sony hates you

Sony hates you photo

Was anyone more surprised than me to see Maddox finally had a new post today? In his latest rant, he talks about how he is sick and tired of Sony's bullshit. He goes on a rant about everything Sony wise that has made headlines over the years. From the exploding batteries, the rootkits, the PS2s, Lik Sang, and the PSP.

When I read the law suit, I did a double take to make sure I read it correctly. Sony is suing to prevent people from selling PSPs? Great move, morons! Because if there's anything Sony needs right now, it's fewer people buying PSPs. In fact, PSP sales are part of the reason Sony expects to lose $1.7 billion dollars in their gamingdivision by March. That means that I and anyone else who makes any money at all between now and March will officially make more money than Sony's gaming division. I rule.

 Check out the rest of the rant at the best page in the universe.

Emo blog rants like that just make me want a PS3 even more. Why do some many people take Sony's business decisions so personally? Sony is going to do what's best for Sony even if it doesn't benefit it's fans. I don't know why people can't understand that. Oh well all they really do is give Sony even more publicity and even worse they make Sony look like an underdog. And everyone loves an underdog.

Always love to read his rants, even the ones I don't agree with. This one I agree with though.

LxLegend, do you even have any idea who Maddox is? He's probably one of the most well-known ranters on the Internet.

Wow, LxLegend, you're officially the first person I've ever heard of characterise Maddox as "emo".

I think more than anything you proved how ignorant you are with both that, and the statement that one needs to take personal offense to what Sony does in order to see their fuck ups for what they are.

Sony has never done anything really worthwhile in the gaming industry anyways. The Playstation was pretty much thrust upon them by Nintendo after Nintendo saw the Phillip's CD system fail. The PS2 was just hype, timing and an obvious (although very correct) update onto the DVD medium. If you try and tell me no, then tell me what do they do besides pay people off and steal ideas?

I completely agree with Maddox on this one. I have no desire to pay over six hundred dollars on something that will most likely break down in half a year, if I'm lucky.

Wow, I thought Maddox had died or something. Sweet!

Although I would have also added the fact that Sony's also pushing a new video format that (along with HD-DVD) consumers really don't need yet. I'm not re-buying my movies again this soon, damn it.

LxLegend: People take Sony's business decisions personally when they negatively effect the consumer... such as sneaking rootkits into music cds that can mess up their PCs or selling hardware that craps out just after the warranty expires. A company that does what is "best for them" by screwing their customers is a company that will end up losing business in the long run.
