The ridiculousness that is Sony.

   I find it rather hilarious the way that Sony is managing the production and maintenance of the PS3. Every single, and I mean every fucking one of the demo units freeze after one motorstorm race. I did some research on it and found out that in a report, a Sony official said something along the lines of "our demo units freeze after a set amount of time so that the users wont play it all day in the store." I will try and find the link to that report. Also, In January, an official from the same division said he would give a sum of 800 dollars USD if there were any Ps3's on store shelves. Too bad he retracted his statement, because now there are so many of them. I really like the use of the processors, and the PS3 is graphically impressive. I really like the way it looks too but the hardware configuration and the bloated brand names that jack up the price clearly make it not worth the buy. The only thing that can contend with the PS3 graphically is a PC. But that is all. The XBOX 360, in my opinion the PS3's main competitor, is a solid system. Yeah there were some recalls, just like the first XBOX... (I was one of the unlucky bunch that got a short-circuited XBOX, but Microsoft gave me a voucher for a new tv, and a new updated XBOX) But now its a basically flawless system. If Sony would just realize that they dont need to spend so much, and actually plan more for a working system, they would be so much more successful. What I would do is buy one for the Blu-Ray drive and hard drive, and use the rest as a paper weight. :D

   Yeah thanks for posting that. I've noticed that the demos freeze in the local GameStop. Yeah the thing about the Ps3 is that it is too far ahead of developers. Sure, Microsoft can make something better than the Ps3, but seriously, what developer has the time and money to create something the Ps3 has to overclock just to run? It will be good in a few years, when the price drops.

   I think Sony dropped the ball on this one badly... They over-engineered a piece of shit that no one will want to buy because it's too expensive, has a shittacular game selection and no backwards compatability (the thing that they basically built the PS2 on). Plus their marketing strategy sucks, is proven not to work and is illegal. Is it a quality unit? I don't know, I haven't seen one personally and quite frankly, I don't plan on buying one. I am happy with my 360 and PS2.

   The PS3 can play PS2 games. I have one and I play God of War and Black on it. The only good game on the system is Resistance and that's because it's multi-player (plus it's free). Sure the system is expensive, but a standalone blu-ray player is far more expensive than a PS3. I've had a 360 and recently sold it. I don't play video games as much as I used to when I was a child. I'm not sure, but maybe I'm just growing out of it.
