| 1st amendment only protects gov free speech
The 1st amendment only protects the government from infringing on your free speech. anyone else can do what they want.
I see Sony twisting in the wind here because the PS3 is bombing. The "best of the Xbox 360"? I thought they said they were better than the 360?
Expect this thing to come out with a lower price tag than the PS3....sans a Blue-Ray drive. |

I think perhaps the best comment in response to the story came from Penny Arcade:
...it offers a glimpse of just how difficult it is to track this company's strange trajectory. Like some idiot alchemist they are able to transform good news into bad news, or turn gleaming triumph into wretched defeat.

| I visit kotaku
often and like the info and humor of it. Most is for ___fanboys. But I doubt it should be considered "journalism". It's content borders on rehashed blog info, PR, and some original off-shore digging (Japan Akihabara...).
But once again, we get someone who is being punished and spins it like they are victim.
How much money does Kotaku make?
What are the visiting stats?
Why should we care?
Since a site like this generates revenue based on traffic and speculation (and amazing how gizmodo has similar, if not redundant posts), do the posters and readers get rewarded?
Sony has better things screwups to do without the help of some, "Hey, I got that info to the fanboys first!!Whambulane!!" website.
Yeah, leech off the host then cry when it picks you off.  |

Actually, freedom of speech doesn't mean anything here. The constitution restricts what the government can do, not what Sony or any other private company can do. |

The manager is wrong.
Store manager's get 90% of their info from the same place non-managers do- the internet. |

Sony should be happy that the PS3 is getting any press, I went to target last week and they had the PS3's stacked up on top of each other to support their carboard Wii Display..

Re: 1st amendment only protects gov free speech
Actually, Sony sold fewer consoles than Microsoft in January:
A Credit Suisse analyst has Nintendo’s Wii leading January console sales with 436,000 units, according to a report from Bloomberg news. The report cites January NPD data, and has the Xbox 360 selling 294,000 units with the Playstation 3 trailing with 244,000 consoles sold. Above 200,000 units for January is a decent showing, but it will be hard for Sony to spin its numbers in the face of increasing availability on store shelves. Nintendo, of course, will be happy with their January sales; every indication into the third week of February has the Wii still facing shortages on shelves, so one might expect this trend to continue. While many had dismissed the Wii’s new control scheme as a fad, the console’s continuing popularity gets harder and harder to deny as the months continue.

said by inteller :I see Sony twisting in the wind here because the PS3 is bombing. Last sales figures I saw had the PS3 at about 230,000 units sold in January and the Xbox 360 at 290,000 units sold. Yeah the 360 is selling more, but a difference of 60k units when over 1/4 million are sold in a single month is nowhere near bombing.
said by inteller :The "best of the Xbox 360"? I thought they said they were better than the 360? The best of the online services. It's pretty evident the PS3's online community features are lacking. This month's firmware upgrade is supposed to level that playing field.
said by inteller :Expect this thing to come out with a lower price tag than the PS3....sans a Blue-Ray drive. I can guarantee you that you will never see a Playstation 3 without blu-ray. The games are written on blu-ray. Sony is depending on the adoption of blu-ray. Sure the system will have a lower price tag, but it would be because they are planning on taking out the Emotion Engine and rely on software upscaling for playing PS2 games (which should also help increase the video definition too) and lower component costs. |

| PS3 Potential
I'm USUALLY not the first in line to buy ANYTHING "rev0". I'll wait for the other suckers people to buy them first....figure out the bugs....sort them out....you know...all the good stuff.
The PS3, though, i bought. It's potential is there....it's just very limited now. I have linux installed, and (after 8 hours) VLC. I don't need to drag my laptop over to the TV when i want to watch a XViD movie.
Conversely, when i want to watch a MPEG - PS3 natively will support it.
Also...i have my choice of browsers. When the woman wants to browse the 'net, she can use PS3. She can use the remote or the keyboard/mouse. When i want to actually do some work, i can load up linux on it, load up rdesktop, and work on my desktop PC in the bedroom.
For me....it was the difference between spending $700 on a PC, or on PS3. I chose PS3. I have enough PC's, and it's just so damn cool.
The price is a bit expensive....but for $700 you're also getting a blu-ray player, full game console, DVD player, and a computer.
Sony wants to add an improvement? Great! I'm not complaining. I'm also not holding my breath.
Sony REALLY needs to work on other issues first:
-SUCKY selection of demos/downloads. I have a PS3 - not a PSP. I also paid ALOT of money for it. I could care less about downloading anything for the PSP on it. There's at least 20 games i can download/buy for the PSP. How about a DECENT one (grip shift sucks, btw) i can BUY online? I don't care if it's 12GB.
-Their downloads are TERRIBLY slow. I mean really....i have 30mb down, and can easily sustain a 1MB/s transfer (at LEAST) on my PC while PS3 hums along, slow as ever.
-BACKGROUND DOWNLOADING! If you gonna have a crappy pipe to serve me the content, at least let me forget it's doing it. Nope.
-Video Player. Plays MPEG. Does NOT know what to do with any other file type (besides MP3 and a couple others). It will let me download them to a SD/MMC/CF card, but then it's useless to me.
-Going back to the first - other countries have good games. I can buy tekken 5 if i'm in japan or asia...why not here? |
