Why Sony is Ready to Self Destruct 722
jammmma writes "Before even launching the PS3, Sony is ready to self destruct." From the article: "PS3 is doomed, thanks to Sony's ignorant attitude. None of us had the chance to seriously evaluate PS3 and the experience it has to offer. It's impossible without a series of titles and an official product at hand, but from where we stand, Sony's damaging attitude is all it takes to diminish the value of PS3. Kutaragi may be right in defending PS3; after all, he can't criticize his own product, but instead of exciting users with valuable features and winning them over so they can start saving, Kutaragi makes bearish statements in response to Nintendo's announcement and Microsoft's take on Sony. Last I heard companies were at E3 to impress media personnel, which yielded positive publicity, not make childish remarks when chances were against them."

With the combined might of the Slashdot userbase and "cooltechzone.com" aligned against them, how can Sony possibly survive?

Unless their server can pick up its own pieces and reboot, that would be all of us.

I just bought a new card for around $50.. No, its not the best performer out there, but it works well enough with all modern games that they are nicely playable. In a year or 2 I'll get me a new one.. total expense over 5 years.. 2 1/2 * $50.. which doesn't come close to what you suggest spending on one card.
Ah.. you were talking about a hardcore gamer who does spend $400+ on a graphics card? those same people won't have a problem spending $600 on a console either if the games are convincing enough.

And by the way - Steve B. - the guy who codes for Microsoft, who used to hack into bank accounts on his mom's Commodore C-64, who drives a Segway in his private time? You should change the combination on your safe. The one where you store the alt.binaries.multimedia.erotica.transsexual "backups"? Just reminding you, since it seems that "Edwina", your Personal Assistant (single/white/39yo/TV) failed to do so, even after you reminded hir, not once, but twice, to remind you. I suppose that the AIDS results are still weighing heavily on hir mind.
But seriously... I'll just let the phone companies take care of the monitoring. In the meantime, I've got... "backups"... to be making.
