Sony reaches new levels of stupidity with quote from Jack Tretton

HAHAHAHHAHHAHHHA

I think he is stuck in time at Nov 2006!

Shit this sounds like the quickest way to make a cool million lol I actually went to Best Buy and Circuit City by my house and BOTH had ps3's sitting there haha

Wheres my god damn movie check?!

What games?

That guy who bought one to sell in order to get his wife a wedding ring sure will be pleased!

Wow. just wow...

So this is the arrogance the internets speak of?

So Jack would rather people believe that Sony is incapable of adequately supplying demand for their product rather than Sony having enough PS3's for everyone who wants one? Wouldn't that sort be like me winning a trophy for all the babies I haven't eaten?

In Japanese culture, arrogance may be accepted as confidence. Coming from the president of the American division, this is the most phenominally stupid PR shunt I've seen in years.

What's worse is that, from what I've seen, most of what's on store shelves right now are returns. Are stores even still ordering PS3s?

Hahaha great comparison, Nex.

If he stays true to his word he is gonna be left a poor man.

I'M RICH BITCH!!!

Allow me to be the first to post this :)

Dear Jack,

Hi, I work at a major retail chain. We've had four PS3's for two weeks now.

That'll be 4800 dollars please.

Also, Cocks;

TazarThaYoot

Nevermind, didn't realize they did an extra update after Friday's comic.

I have about 3 or 4 cell phone photos of signs outside various Best Buys and Circuit citys saying that they have systems in stock..

Show me the money!!!

Nex said it all for me.
Thanx, Nex!

Since I could only find the customer service number I called them. This is what happened.

Sony: Thank you for calling Sony. How can I help you this afternoon?

Me: Yes I wanted to know how I could collect my $1200 for every PS3 that I found in stores for longer than 5 minutes.

Sony: Huh?

Me: The new EGM magazine had the Sony President stating...

[Insert EGM quote here]

Sony: What's EGM?

Me: A gaming magazine, it’s fairly popular. You can pretty much find it anywhere, just look for the newest issue.

Sony: Hold on a second, let me talk to somebody.

[On hold for 3 minutes.]

Sony: Where did you see this again? You know we are customer service right?

Me: Yes I know, but I couldn't find any other phone number.

[Pause]

Sony: EGM?

Me: Oh sorry, it's a gaming magazine, you can find it anywhere.

Sony: Alright hold on again please.

[On hold again for a few minutes.]

Sony: I'm sorry sir but you'll have to contact EGM magazine. Sony doesn't condole this statement.

Me: But the Sony President said it, shouldn't you obey it?

Sony: I'm sorry, but you need to contact EGM. Whatever was said in there is not our problem.

Me: Hmmmm I guess titles don't mean anything to Sony too.

[Long pause.]

Sony: Is there anything else I could help you with?

Me: Do you have any way I could reach Mr. Tretton?

Sony: Sir I can't help you with this, anything in EGM does not pertain to Sony.

Me: Alright I will get a hold of EGM and get my money from you guys. Sorry for calling you, but I thought you could help me since Mr. Tretton worked for Sony and this is a Sony phone number.

Sony: Is there anything else I could help you with?

Me: If I can't get Mr. Tretton's number then that is all.

Sony: Thank for you calling sir and have a nice day.

Me: You too, thanks.

[End conversation]

If anyone has time to kill I think you should call Sony, it's funny.

someone needs to go back and verify because the interview was done back in late december early january so when he says that its hard to find a ps3 it was hard.

"Resistance was our best reviewed title and number one selling game on the platform, so I'm not sure how you could say it was lacking"

Also, this quote just absolutely cracks me up. The best game on our console is also the highest rated! But lets not compare it to any other game, lets just pretend that there's only the PS3 where Resistance, which wasn't exactly good to begin with, doesn't have any competition at all.

Actually JJ Rage beat ya to the punch Ugly Phil, lol.

No matter what that is an awesome PA strip!!!

HAHAHA

The EB near my house, one month ago, had 19 PS3s in the back and it was in a busy mall. How do I know this? Had to get another NEW PS3 since it didn't work. My dad is on his 3rd one.

First: Wireless Internet didn't work.
Second: Would delete saved files.
Third: So far so good, but what he's told me a lot of the PS2 games will freeze.

I live in Chile, and you can find many PS3 on stores. Nobody wants to buy it.

As adults looking at reality we know this BOLD statement is made by Jack to hopefully fool the rest of the world ( that doesnt live in North America or Have any access to NEWS ! ) into having some confidence in the PS3.

Right now developers are switching sides and they are losing delopers confidence.
