Yahoo is down. Which completely sucks, because I need to access yahoo mail.
 
Want to back that up with....say, A reason?!

Just in case it wasn't just his inner fanboy speaking, how about the great list of Sony's successful proprietary formats? :-P

Granted, there usually is a first time for everything. :-)

Actually I think that He was referring to me  because I said Blue ray would fail.

I'm not a fanboy of anything really, I just hate Sony,  trying to eat all my money.

Dont buy any of their stuff then fool.
 
That's a good idea but then again I'd eventually regret not getting a PS3.

The PS2 for the most part had way better games.  But I'm pretty sure this time it'll be different because of the Wii.  This console wore will go either to Nintendo or Microsoft.
 
So....you hate sony...but like the PS2 and want a PS3?


Your logic fails me.
 
Nay, I like a select few GAMES on the PS2 that are PS2 exclusive, Like KH 1&2.  Those are the most awesome games ever.  And if that happens with the PS3 then it'll suck because i'd miss out... so the only reason i'd want it is for a few super duper games... which i won't bay 600 dollars for the console anyways....

and about the logic thing.  I have none.
 
Haha okay so I just completely contradicted myself.

Take the... Second quote seriously.  You know what, nevermind, don't take me seriously at all.
 
My FAVORITE part:

(...)Then there's Sony's recent alienation of consumers (predominantly female) via the blatantly sexist and, frankly, bizarre Playstation Portable ad campaign that ran throughout the UK during winter and spring. These ads highlighted the PSP's various features, such as its download capabilities, by stating "Spend A Night In Paris Here", a not especially subtle reference to the Paris Hilton sex tape. Or there's the focus on the PSP's photographic transfer ability via Memory Stick Duo, by stating "Your Girlfriend's White Bits Here", suggesting 'boys' would like to do nothing more worthwhile with a PSP than carry naked pictures of their partners on it. And, finally, there's "Escape From Your Girlfriend's Pointless Questions Here", which leads 'boys' (again) to lose themselves in a UMD movie rather than speanding time with their girlfriend. And it wasn't just limited to the UK either, as a similarly banal and offensive graffiti-based PSP ad campaign caused considerable furore in the US too. Both ad campaigns add up to yet more indications that Sony could be growing disassociated with its consumers(...)

Oh, please! Sony was just trying to make someone smile, and I'll admit, reading that tugged the corners of my mouth.

Anybody that would be offended by that should seriously just drop dead. The only people that should be offended by that are:

1) Over-reactive feminists/soccer mom-esque women ("I can't believe I bought that machine for my little Timmy with which he can download evils like PORN! I know him, he'll never look at that smut!")
2) Guys who can't get any

And, anyone that won't continue buying Sony products because of that ad weren't ever true Sony customers to begin with.

--Oh and believe me I know: those bastards! They're the first ones in history to demean females, even though that was in an entirely joking fashion.

It might not have been the smartest marketing ploy, but people need to lighten up.

(...)The day of reckoning fast approaches, and 17 November 2006 will reveal much. Of course, the Playstation 3 will receive masses of consumer loyalty, and will most likely still emerge as the next-gen market leader(...)

Amen to that. I will most definitely have my PS3 by November (lucky me, my birthday happens to coincide within about week and a half following the release of the PS3. Hopefully getting a little birthday cash will help refill the likely gaping hole in my pocket after the PS3).

So yeah. I'll admit it. As much as I love Sony, their console will not be cheap, and they'll likely lose out a little bit. I'll also freely admit that Nintendo has a very good chance of taking the reins of gaming in the near future. I still don't hold out much hope, as always, for Microsoft, though. Not like it matters much to them, though.

EDIT: Fixed some grammatical and spelling errors...these huge posts of mine tend to be full of 'em.

Really?  Would you be so willing to condone the deprivation of female respect if it was any other company besides Sony?

Your ad-hominem approach to this topic really doesn’t help your stance.


How about, 3) Men who actually believe that woman should be treated with respect as equals?
How about, 4) Men who don’t appreciate being classified as having the stereotypical attitude wherein they must inherently be sex-crazed hormone-driven punks wearing wife-beaters and ignoring their girlfriends (and of course, the only reason you get a “girlfriend” but then proceed to ignore her is because you just want to use her for sex).

And by the way, that soccer mom happens to compose the largest share of the market, at least for personal-computer gaming.
For console gaming, mommy and daddy are the largest share of the market.  That’s right, even more than all those hardcore fanboys.


And, anyone that won't continue buying Sony products because of that ad weren't ever true Sony customers to begin with.

Doesn’t that statement just exemplify the problem?
Most companies are trying to broaden their market, appealing to people who aren’t “true customers” yet as well as those who are.
Not test them to see if they are so blindly dedicated they will overlook any and all class-bereft propaganda for the simple sake of proving loyalty.


So yeah. I'll admit it. As much as I love Sony, their console will not be cheap

You are Sony’s perfect “chump”.
They have you in their pocket so badly you can’t even see how bad it is.
