who cares about that?, I don't!

Hi,

I have some comments to say. First what you are saying about Sony "Sorry Sony, but you really screwed yourself this time", I think is a ridiculous statement. Now don't get me wrong, it was a completely stupid thing that Sony did, but how many other major corporations have done as stupid or worse things. What I think about all these major corporations, Ex: Dell, Microsoft, Sony, ect. Is that there all a bunch of "Greedy, money hugging, screw everyone else, BASTARDS!" To put it mildly.

That's not the point though. The point is that you should not blame a whole entire Corp. for one Screw-up. The root-kit was put out by the "Music branch" of Sony (obviously) that’s excluding the Electronics, Games, Movies, and, Financial Services branches. If you do not know this already here is a list of the Presidents and CEO's of Sony:

Chairman and CEO (US)
Howard Stringer

President and Electronics CEO (JAPAN)
Ryoji Chubachi

Executive Deputy President
President of TV Business Group (JAPAN)
Katsumi Ihara

This clearly show's that two of the President/CEO are not even part of the music branch, which leaves only one left, Chairman and CEO, Howard Stringer (US), CEO and Chairman of the one and only SCEA Inc.

Ok, Hypothetically speaking, could the root-kit been made just to help slow down on pirated music, which in theory would stop the amount of music being downloaded, then would lead to more CD sales. CD's - pirated music= $$$$$$.

Now for my conclusion. Big corporations do not make things to lose money, its visa-versa. The root-kit was not meant to steal you personal information ex: bank account numbers, CC numbers, ect. Sony would have no need for these items considering transferring money leaves a HUGE paper trail; something Sony would not risk it. I think it is as simple as the "FEDS" want to stop all piracy so, what better way to do it than put it in Sony's copy-protection experiment. Who would expect some bot, string, or virus to be in one of there favorite CD's. So it goes back to the "Greedy, money hugging, screw everyone else, BASTARDS!" It’s money that’s all! So don't despise a company's products just because they screwed the public. You might as well not buy anything from a major Corp. because all of them have done it. (Microsoft's Windows Millennium) Ha-ha! That was a great scam.

This will NOT be the last time I buy products from “Money Sucking Corporations”, But that’s ok I am still looking forward to purchasing a XBOX 360 and Playstation 3, and hurry up Sony/IBM on the cell processors. ; )

ok 360 better

i had a gut feeling, that some how microsoft wont let us down which makes XBOX 360 BETTER

I Have heard about the fumbled attempt at copy protection.You think they would just let it go by now, the people who want to rip and hack are going to do so no matter what.They should just let it lie, instead of revisiting the whole "Oh My God People Are Pirating Music !!!" thing over and over.

You are a loser how will this affect the ps3's gaming experience in any way shape or form?? the ps3 will still have better graphics, bigger games and it also has alot more hype than the 360. The only thing your crappy precious 360 will have is better controllers and online gaming and not that many people have broadband or routers to connect to online gaming anyway. So just give up Xbox fans and stop making excuses YOUVE LOST!!!

YOU SUCK JOSH! We, xbox 360 fans, don't need to make excuses, everyone knows that XBOX 360 has better graphics and games! XBOX RULES! PS3 SUCKS!

We know that Sony ps3 copied XBOX 360 in every way but some things they just improved.

Why are you fools taking sides? X box is the best no PS3 is the best...its all stupid! Surely we all love games and our only aim is to have the best gaming experiences we can regardless of platform. Both next gen units are excellent and there will undoubtedly be games and titles that suit one unit over the other. To eliminate the experience of playing a great game just because you feel you would be betraying Microsoft/Sony is complete horse shit! Stop the nonsense and own both systems, that way you will always have the best gaming experiences! True gammers, holla!

You are right tom...putting spyware to thousands of PCs can kill its PS3 sale prospects

I think one very important factor has been left out of the equation. the up and coming Nintendo Wii is going to pose some very stiff competition for both the Xbox360 and the Playstation 3. Just how much, we will have to wait and see. But as far as i can see so far, the others arent going to match the graphics and omputing power. The Wii games are likely to be the same as the Xbox and PS3, just buffed a little.

hey everyone sony ps3 sucks and thats the bottom line i used to be a ps2 fan but after comparing ps2 to xbox ps2 sucked ass and ps3 is gonna suck ass like the ps2!!!
and also ps3 is a copy cat they copied the guide button on the xbox 360 controler and they copied xbox live and the motion sensin controler from the nintento wii

I think ps3 and xbox 360 are all around systems , they both have good graphics and games but in my opinion I will rather go with MIcrosoft's XboX 360 because it has more quality than the ps3.

before this thread just gets full of little americans using thier full vocab' set with "this sucks, that sucks, it sucks sucks & .. em .." what was it , oh yeah - "sucks" lets try 2 inject a little objective intelligence..

It's true that Sony & Microsoft are pretty much peas in a pod. It's also true that until recently (and still so, to a large degree) Microsoft was/is suffering from an image problem. I still don't think they're cool, but over the last year, I've also stopped thinking that Sony are cool.

Unfortunately in this battle to stamp out the other guy, the only losers are gamers. - that is, gamers outside of America. - Because US gamers seem to prefer, US style games (by which i mean, big guns, lots of bullets, fast, explosive, adrenalin fuelled)

Unfortunately with, what looks like the turn of the tide for playstation (and respect to microsoft on a business level for making such HUGE dents in Sony's monopoly) - we will see the demise of more intelligent gaming.

Japanese style games, tend to be 1)more original 2) more atmospheric 3) more subtle and complex 4) apeal to the intelligence gland rather than just the adrenal.

now I'm afraid that the whole gaming scene is gonna become full of yanky hogwash speed smash bash slash mindlessnes.

I own an xbox360(aswell as every other console), aside from GRAW i'm still waiting for a game that I want to own. Theyre pumping out crap cos they've got little competition, holding back any promising titles until Sony finally makes it down to the battle field with their next gen console.

Xbox are stimulating kids to need the next game release with their rediculous "gamer points" system, and people are buying games thinking theyre great, but theyre not, they're just second rate, games of the moment - which will be forgotten as soon as the gamer points are earned and the next titles out.

On the other hand, Sony have no excuses for what's happening to them. even up to 1 year ago, they still looked like the unconquerable Samurai of gaming. I'm completely at a lost to understand how they were able to be caught with they're trousers down, in so many ways !

wtf, e3 2006 is now over. they showed demos of ps3 that overshadow 360. they changed the controller back to the ps2 desighn. all the specs dont lie. ps3 is undoughtlly far superior over 360. wii, omg i dont even want to start lol. but all u xbox fanboys need to quit saying 360 is better because of graphics. graphics dont make a awsome system. sure they play a role but it is all about the gameplay and games. thats y ps2 beat xbox by a shit load. u know what is funny, ps2 is still beating 360 in sails. lmfao.

I've heard that the PS3 will not be backwards compatible in regard to running PS2 games on the new console, due to the PS3's integration of native Blu-Ray technology. Have any of you heard this rummor also? For me, that would be really the deciding factor in whether to purchase the XBOX 360, versus PS3. Since I have never owned a PS2, I would be rather fit if I could not utilise the array of PS2 games on the PS3. The list of titles is quite extensive. Thoughts, comments?

What of The Elder Scrolls - Oblivion? I thoroughly enjoyed that title. I tend though to agree with your stance on Japanese titles. However, I believe the term 'Yankee Hogwash' is a bit harsh; wouldn't you agree? Afterall, most of the companies producing titles for America, are not located within the states. So, it appears to be really more of a money making racket. Game developers are going to consistantly cater to the tastes of those consumers who will generate the largest amount of revenue. Sadly, I beleive America receives a bad reputation for this, due to their lax standards on what is socially apropriate, and what is not. A good case in point are the GTA titles. IMO - Absolute rubbish... However unfortunate, the desire and pontential for intense capital is there.

ps3 has blu ray and better grapics but rubbish games xbox 360 has all the best games going out to it and xbox live ps3 has some good games some rubbish xbox 360 games for next year will be better

Regardless of the fact that Sony shows no respect towards their customers or developers whatsoever, Microsoft will win the next-gen console war simply because of their positive attitude and their reliability.

Sony has never failed to underdeliver on their tall orders, and I highly doubt PS3 will be any different. Microsoft isn't trying to force some new (expensive) disk format down everyone's throats, and is doing their utmost to make development easier for developers. Not to mention they got me my GTA IV with exclusive content!

That's enough for me. Xbox 360 for president!!

ok ok ok ps3 has better graphics and all that mumbo jumbo but its just focusing on everything BUT the games and gameplay wat r the best platform games for ps3??? there are 2 MGS AND DEVIL MAY CRY THATS IT!!! 360 HAS AN AMAZING AMOUNT OF GREAT PLATFORM GAMES THAT WILL WIPE THE FLOOR WITH PS3 LET ME NAME A FEW FABLE 2, FEAR 1 AND 2 NINJA GAIDEN 2,perfect dark,forza,pgr, and most notably the best game ever HALO 3!!!! SO YA PS3 IS GOOD AND WORTH IT BUT ONLY FOR EVERYTHING OTHER THAN GAMING IF I WANTED BLU RAY ILL BUY THE PLAYER SO SUCK THAT PS3 XBOX 360 WILL HAVE THE BEST GAMES TO ENTERTAIN DONT GET ME WRONG I WANT BOTH BUT IF I HAD TO PICK ONE XBOX 360!!! GRAPHICS ARENT THAT IMPORTANT AND I CAN BUY A BLU RAY DISC PLAYER OTHER THAN THAT PS3 HAS NOTHING ON 360(WELL MEMORY AND STUFF) WHO GIVES. XBOX 360 ALL THE WAY!!!

P.S. it's still a VIDEO GAME console focus on that sony!!!

WTF A Android. I'm a yank you SOB and proud of it. Japanese games are rubbish and don't bring a better atmosphere. Yes we Americans love shooting games whats wrong with that. Japan and the USA are different because we love FPS's and japan loves anime rpgs (which is the gayest thing you can put on a console). I am glad the 360 is more focused in the US because Microsoft knows that the Japanese won't buy anything that is not made by Japan. If you want japanese games by a wii or if your rich as hell a ps3. Also to add GTA was made by british developers and is popular everywhere except Japan so you can suck on that.

HALO 3
Finish the fight.

LoL, Just go play on a pc then everyone will be happy, WoW time nubs.

yeah jesse speak the trUTH xbox360 SUCKS IT AINT GOT NOTHING ON PS3 THOSE GAMERS WHO SAY THAT PS3 SUCKS ARE NOT TRUE GAMERS MICROSOFT WILL NOT WIN SONY WILL BECAUSE OF HEARING THERE FANS E3 SHOWED US THE POWER OF THE PS3 AND THE XBOX DONT EVEV COMES CLOSE MICROSOFT STOLE THE IDEA OF HOOKING YOUR PSP TO YOUR CONSOLE SONY PSONE IS STILL APPRIECIATED FAR BETTER THAN XBOX 360 I CANT BELIEVE TRUE GAMERS SAY THAT PS3 SUCKS

man xbox 360 is going to kill the ps3 with halo 3 and saints row, good fu##ing graphics, fast loading, HD, all that crap about HDTV, xbox 360 looks good on any fu##ing tv.GTA 4 is going to come to the 360 before the ps3. ps3 is goign to be cool with the blu-ray but why the fuck u want 50 gb on a disk??? the games are going to be short anyways, xbox 360 rules media center, marketplace, xbox LIVE, free demo downloads, good looks, cool streaming, dont get me wrong ps3 is going to be cool but 360 is always #1 wat more can u ask for??? mom walked in the other day thought fight night round 3 was fu##ing real boxers, xbox 360 !!!

XBOX 360 is maxed out!!! u ps3 fags are sayin ps3 is so awsome but have u played it yet HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it didnt come out yet. And face it u know xbox 360 graphics are better. i own a ps2 and i think its good and all, but i want extreme graphics for the new gen and xbox 360 IS the new gen. PS3 is a waste of money. Sorry but xbox 360 won it!!!!!!!

I think that the xbox 360 is very good but i cant trust it. i already know a couple friends that theres have messed up so i thought i should go with the playstation 3. But that doesnt mean the xbox 360 is bad but it is just i cant trust it.

Hey Vince, you're comparing a PS2 to an Xbox 360, DUDE thats weak!!!!! If you want to compare game systems, compare current gens, not next gens with current gens. the only reason that the XboX came out was because either Bill Gates wanted more money or he wanted to dive Sony a run for their money.

P.S: the first Xbox Sucked so much that the only reason that the Xbox sold was because of HALO 1 and 2, by the way, the Xbox 360 will rank 3rd in the console war with eather the PS3 or the Nintendo Wii in 1st.

sony sucks xbox for live :p

u all suck xbox 360 is the nuts better than eny sony consel will ever be so suckmy balls

you ppl need to have a better way to spend you thoughts. are these corperations really that important to you? xbox caters to a different demographic of gamer. period. ps3 caters to a different gamer. period. the reason because the xbox fan claims that their console has more original games is because of their personal taste. the same goes for those who say that about ps3.

personally, i think western games lack character and intuitive design. they serve to indulge the player without exposing them to something so different it turns them away. playstation does the same at times, however it is pretty much undisputatble that it has far more thought provoking titles that actually explore the way in which a game is played.

im sorry if you disagree, but this argument is like bickering over what is and isnt art in the eyes of the individual. or what style of music should be trully revered.

I HOPE THEY BOTH DO VERY WELL. MS AND SONY ARE GUILTY OF THE SAME CRAP. DONT FORGET. and be alittle more open minded. read a book too.

yo guys im trying to decide between xbox 360,ps3
i dont care which one cost more i just wanna see which one u guys like and tell my why. also I am leaning to the ps3 because i have so many ps2 games that i like and they are fun to play . also does anyone know if ps3 is gonna have a good oline system .

lookit forza 2...just lookit the oh so beautiful car models...

now take a peek at Gran Turismo 4 HD running on 1080p baby!!! hahahahahahah!!

...and put in your minds that GT4 HD is just the beginning...forza 2? that's the best Xbox 360 can do

PS3 is overpriced already. I imagine to see many owners of the PS3 being killed in huge explosions because it can't run on such high spec.

So far, the only PS3 lovers I know just happen to be very immature.

I feel Xbox360 lovers are a lot more mature.

Fuck PS3 all the way

just to let you know I own a x360 and have just come back to uk from japan TGS! And can say that without doubt sony ps3 games are better visually (the good ones) than X360. Im going to keep my x360 but (and am a little dissapointed in the quality of games, I just dont feel im at that next gen point with the x360!) Im not a sony fanboy whatsoever, I think x360 is an xbox makeover with a little more power. An I can only say that what will save the x360 will be modding it (open it up like the old xbox to make it a cool system) Sorry microsoft but you did not deliver, you guys got alot of things wrong next time listen to the man on the street! Last point Sony (the sleeping dragon has awakend!) if you want best looking games and better spec console save your pennies and get a PS3 it rocks!

Xbox 360 is obviously the better system but what i dont know is all these crappy people who say ps3 is better. in fact it sucks and we all know that microsoft is loyalso they wouldnt let us down.
also due to the fact that it came out earlier menas its got better publicity and more people knmow about it more than ps3.
360 rules and ps3 sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude..... GO PS3, but when the ps3 coomes out nov. 17th what 3 games should i get first?

how can so little of you say that Xbox 360 sucks and compare it to the PS3 when the PS3 has not even come out yet,shows how much you guys know. I own a xbox and a ps2 and the xbox has better graphics hands down. when the PS3 comes out we will see which system is better.

sony is going to win hands down

The Xbox360 is definitely the winner. Sony marketing on Blu-ray is just crap.. Its gonna be a cheap ass blu ray player. If you want something for visual and audio quality, buy a proper blu-ray player. Anyway, i don't think blu-ray would even kick off. Don't go arguing about the resolutions or formats of the ps3, you're just repeating the same sh*t they forced down your throat and you swallowed it.

Many people bought the PS2 because it had many games.. come on.. really.. how many games out of those did you but and honestly.. you know most of them sucked...

Enough of this pointless argument, bring on the games.

I cannot believe you are basing your projected sales on this spyware issue. What a complete load of nonsense. I would be embarrassed if I was you. Are you trying to be clever and think up a novel angle on this already saturated subject?

I thought the PS2 was considerably better than the xbox. I bought both consoles and preferred the PS2. I think that the games were better probably due to the PS being around longer and the game developers being more use to the PS format. one major thing was that the PS controllers are simply a lot more user friendly. I have purchased a 360 and am impressed by the progress, although i still find the controllers too bulky. I will purchase the PS3 and to be honest can't wait.

I don't believe it will be a black and white issue as too which is the bette console. people will always have their own preferences but if sony makes a similar level of progress in this area to Microsoft then the PS3 will always have the edge for me.

The PS3 will be way better then the Xbox 360. becouse the PS3 is twice as powerful then the Xbox360 games. On paper the PS3 blows the new Xbox out of the water. The Xbox 360 is only good for racing, sports, and first person shooting games like Halo. The Playsation 3 also has the largest selection of Turn based RPG games like Final Fantasy. Xbox 360 has very few if not any turned based RPG games.

I dont know but sony hasnt been hyping its ps3 on tv at all and there are huge lines of people camping everywhere already and im seeing more people than i did when I wasted money on my 360.

just an observation....

uhh o it isnt havent u seen the news latly that it just came out and the first guy in line waited 3 days no sleep and the reporter asked "is it really wort it" and the guy said "thats what wan to know"....WTF UR SPENDING $600 FOR A CONSOLE THAT U HAV NO IDEA ABOUT. Also a professional game tester said on the news it wasnt worth it, it was basically plaing the ps2 again "BIG DEAL!". Its features arnt any different from the psp, and the psp sucked, i traded mine in for a BBQ Grill, so now instead of watching a gay movie on a small screen with little batt life for $25, I can cook 4 chickens on a rostisery and 5 steaks !!!! Its like a overdramatised psp, same features and everything. and the online support will probaly suck as well, as did the ps2, YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THE ONLINE OPTION FOR EVERY GAME YOU HAVE SEPERATELY!!!! WEAKK!!! Its purely Media propaganda, Sony overprices becuase they think they can do what ever they want. They think they own you, and maybe they do. They dont have to release any info about it, all they have to do is say PS3!! and put up one picture of it and a gay controller, and u all go nuts. Here are some reasons why sony sucks:

- Bad support
- Psp was very limited and was very expensive.
- Overpriced
- Keep messing with secerity on their products like on the psp "I PAID $300+ FOR IT, AND I SHOULD BE ABLE TO PLAY MARIO 3 and homebrew ON IT WITHOUT HAVING TO UPDATE TO PLAY THE NEW GAMES" + mario 3 was better than any of the games they released.
-Blu Ray... WTF!? they made another format so people can do anything on it??!! wow great

In conclution, you can build a better barebone computer system for that much. And instead of spending that much money on a ps3 why dont you spend it on a Geforce 7950 or a Radeon x1900x? Basically the ps3 just proves that you people are slave to the power of the media. sorry but true.

Microsoft xbox360 is the clear winner
1)it is made by microsoft everybody loves microsoft
2)ps3 copy cat of the 360 in every way
3)less games for the ps3
4)cost more because it's better what a buch of bull shit
5)i have a ps2 psp and xbox but getting a 360 so microsoft is the winner so dont worry sony your beat and you know it

What happend to all the PS3 fanboys.

Why are they not here pointing to all the rave revues of the PS3 telling how it's much better than the X360.

I've been playing my X360 for a year and all I've heard is well I'm waiting for the PS3 cuase it's going to be so much better.

Hey everybody listen up! the xbox 360 and the ps3 are both quality systems. they both have pros and cons. the ps3 is not copying the xbox it just came out later because sony cares about making quality consoles. but the price tag on the ps3 is ridiculous in my opinion and probably tons of other gamers opinions. the xbox 360 will have better games and the ps3 will too but not as good as xbox 360. also the ps3 has blu-ray which is the reason its so expensive. ps3 wins the catagorie of graphics all though both of them have unbelivible graphics. both are incredible machines that have changed gaming experience. if ur lookning for a multi-media SYsTEM THAT HAS BLU-RAY AND GREAT GAMING and tons of extras choose the ps3. if u want a cool just gaming (with a few extras too) machine with good graphices that isnt 600$ choose the 360.

I went to Wal-mart to look at the outraegeosly overpriced Playstation 3 sitting on the self in all of its glory,with people lined up like packrats waiting to buy the new console while in some places people get ready to jump the ps3's new owner as they walk right out the door.

I've always been an xbox fan and now that they've abandoned the original xbox I have to save my allowence to by the 360. So far, I heard that the 360 has more games and better games than the ps3 and its true. I got real mad when I found out the old xbox did'nt have good games like SD vs. RAW GTA
etc., etc., etc.,but now Microsoft has triumphed and came out with a better and more impressive game console that I believe will win the console wars and beat sony.

SHUT THE F*CK UP EVERY ONE XBOX KILLED US PS3 FANS I GIVE IT TO MICROSOFT I MEAN THE THE 360 IS NOTHING COMPARED TO THE PS3 THE PS3 IS A PLAYSTATION WITH A 3 ADDED ON SO IF U WANT A SYSTEM THAT NIS WORTH IT GIVE IT TO THE 360 THEY WON THE BATTLE SO JUST STOP DISCRIMINATING EACH OTHER AND IF ANYBODY FRO THE PS3 SIDE WRITES ANYTHING SMART TO ME I WILL SMACK THE SH*T OUT OF THEM P TOWN AKA PATERSON ALL DAY WE OUT

The PS3 coppied the XB360 eh? have u even realized that the xbox was a pathetic copy of the PS2, not trying to bring that up but thePS2 wooped the xbox hands down and i was a gamecube fan. All XB has is prettier online play and more GPU memory. Microsoft is the greediest company i know of. they were'nt invited to the gaming industry and they shoulda stuck with PC's. They deserve to end up with every other attempt to join the gaming market (ex. dreamcast)

yo fuk u all xbox 360 rules and u all know it

the guy that wrote that article is a numpty, who in there right mind is going to worry about copy protection on a cd and not buy sony products? In a world where pollution from Pepsi kills 30000 children every year in south america your talking about that rubbish?

Only really really really really bad geeks would even worry about that!

As for the difference, i seen teh PS3 and it really does kick the ass of the xbox 360. The blue ray alone sums it up. NOT FOR PLAYING HIDEF DVD BUT FOR GAMES THAT WILL HAVE MASSIVE STORAGE OVER 50GIG TO XBOX SILLY 8GIG, GTA COULD HAVE WHOLE INTERACTIVE CITIES, ITS JUST SILLY. Xbox had to have a early launch for any chance to compete, which by launching cheap hardware, i mean for the hidef drive you need to purchase making i tmore expensive. and whats the point, its only for movies, ONLY THE PS3 CAN HAVE 50GIG+ GAME SIZES

To the last commenter about Blue-Ray enabling larger maps, there are a few problems with this.

First, most game developers have to get games out within 1 year. As such, the problem isn't storage on the DVD disc or creating a big enough virtual world. It's coding the engine, figuring out the gameplay, etc. I've yet to hear of a single developer complain they can't fit the game on 8GB. Will it happen eventually? Sure, probably.

But most games get sick of the same game after about 50hours of gameplay. Even if Blueray added more maps, it could certainly extend the gameplay to say 300hours (6X more storage), but who wants to play the same game for 300hours?

When I beat a game, I don't want it to take 300hours of my life.

Even with 50GB of space, most game developers will simply copy/paste the maps and slightly change them - change the layout, maybe the color-scheme. They don't have the development time to waste creating 50GB games all with uniquely designed and rendered maps. They are in it for a profit, so spending a ton more development for a $50 game doesn't make much sense to me. They still get $50 no matter what.

Yes more gigabytes is always a good thing, but as explained above, sometimes more isn't always better.

X-BOX FANS, You're stupidy knows no bounds. Run and hide while you can. That and only that is the only choice left to you. Then again, perhaps you should stand up and face your defeat; at least you would be left with honor."
X-BOX FANS FACE IT YOU LOSE!!!!
X-BOX FANS ARE FAGS.

Here you can see why the ps3 wins vs the x-box 360.
The ps3 is the more powerful system. PS3: The future of gaming is here.
---------------------------------------------
The rootkit thing will not effect the sale of the ps3. If that relly did happen. You X-BOX losers will say anyhing to help the X-BOX just because you're losing. Sony & the ps3 rule.:)

The future may be here with PS3, but how about some hardware that we can buy easily?

Yes randy savicky, we all wish the ps3 was cheaper but with great power comes a great price that must be paid. Look at the stats I've posted.

Oh, no more post from the big mouth x-box fans. Good. I want to see more post from playstation fans.

DONT BUY SONY !!!!!

Dont buy sony products they will have you buying their products from this day onwards

having purchased a Sony Viao laptop and then a sony erricson phone I found that I then had to buy sony erricson memory, hard disks ETC at twice the price of equivilent non proprietry hardward.

Sony will do anything to keep you having to pay for sony product support. I also found that after 3 years I could no longer get downloadable product drivers for my laptop and would have to pay for support if I needed it.

There's got to be a better way ...

VINCE - DON'T PLAY YOURSELF YOU KNOW THE PS3 GRAPHICS ARE BETTER THAN X-B*TCH 360.

SOMEONE - SAINTS ROW WAS GARBAGE! FIGHT NIGHT ROUND 3 IS ALSO FOR THE PS3 AND THE X-B*TCH 360 VERSION IS NO BETTER THAN THE PS3's VERSION! WHO GIVES A F*CK WHAT YO MOMMA THOUGHT B*TCH!

BRYN - "MICROSOFT WILL WIN THE NEX-GEN CONSOLE WAR SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THEIR POSITIVE ATTITUDE AND THEIR RELIABILITY" - THATS THE GAYEST EXCUSE I'VE HEARD 4 THEM 2 WIN! SHUT THE F*CK UP!

OSIN - ALL OF THE CONSOLES ARE COPYING OFF OF ONE ANOTHER. X-B*TCH AND PS COPYED THE RUMBLE CONTROLLER FEATURE THAT NINTENDO STARTED. AND ALL THE CONSOLES COPYED THE IDEA OF PLAYING ONLINE FROM SEGA DREAMCAST! X-B*TCH 360 SUCKS AND THATS THE BOTTOM LINE!

JOHN - YOU SUCK JOHN! YOU X-B*TCH 360 FANS DO NEED TO MAKE EXCUSES X-B*TCH 360 DON'T HAVE BETTER GRAPHICS AND DON'T HAVE BETTER GAMES!

360 - FEAR IS ALSO COMING OUT 4 THE PS3.PERFECT DARK WAS GARBAGE. THE ONLY REAL HEAVYHITTERS COMING OUT 4 THE X-BITCH 360 ARE HALO 3, HALO WARS, AND GEARS OF WAR! PS3 CRUSHES THAT WITH FINAL FANTASY XIII, FINAL FANTASY VERSES XIII, HEAVENLEY SWORD,GRAN TURISMO 5,DEVIL MAY CRY 4,VIRTUAL FIGHTER 5,TEKKEN 6, AND THE REAL "MOST NOTABLY THE BEST GAME EVER" METAL GEAR SOLID 4:GUNS OF THE PATRIOTS! SO SUCK THAT X-B*TCH 360 FAG! THE PS3 HAS BETTER GRAPHICS AND MORE "BEST PLATFORM GAMES"!
