sony sux…..but i repeat myself.

that said, sega is dead. Get over it. Or better yet: make up for it by supporting Nintendo, just like Sega is doing.

Good to sCUNTthorpe getting a mention. Home to that famous phrase; “who put the **** in Scunthorpe” :)

Cheers Zorg!

I could link any number of headlines, fro the 82% sales drop, to the fact that Aria, WH Smiths and Play are having a price war to sell the “remaining” stock a week after it went on sale. Or the amusing fact that Tretton thinks that cutting the price of the PSP will mean “We can start to reach down to that younger consumer”, (Yes, I know)

Instead I’ll just link to this, which is old but funny:

The PS3, “large and in charge” [smirk]

Btw, “Guitar Hero II” on the 360 does indeed Rock, that used to be an exclusive didn’t it? :)

sure thats a problem with rising devo costs across the board. however luckily the piles of cash the steaming chavs pile into the industry means that the softcos can afford to indulge the creatives once in a while so we get beyond good and evils and the like. I understand zorgs hate but the ps3 hyperbole is just boring me now on both sides is all. we should have at least had an amusing update about sonic’s secret ring(s)

The trouble is, games like Okami get completely ignored by the PlayStation core audience – steaming chavs, so the sales are less than decent.

Also, due to the gargantuan cost of making games for the PS3, developers are less likely to take a chance on it than they did with the PS2, so you’re more likely to get unoriginal rubbish which are guaranteed to sell. (i.e, Fifa 20XX, or Need for Speed: Generic.)

firstly i’m not a ps3 person – i own gamecube ps2 xbox and wii no intention of buying a ps3 or xbox 360 unless there is a game that i want. loved my dreamcast more than my ps1 but i don’t blame sony for killing that – sega pretty much did that themselves and sega games are still about so what the hey. if you ask me sony pretty much revitalisd the industry – yes theres plenty of shite (not a problem for someone who remebers the speccy days – now that was quantity over quality) about but loads of money in the biz so that quality like okami can get made. so what if sony are a big corp. sega wern’t that great when they were enjoying market dominance at least sony never pulled a stunt like the 32x

put sonic back at the top and i’ll be happy is all im saying

Andy: Answer me this one simple question. Why do PS3 people ALWAYS assume Microsoft is behind this panning. It's more widespread than that. Zorg just hates Sony for ruining something he loves. Every Sega fan hates Sony! Every game lover hated Sony the second they started marketing the PSX by putting consoles in fucking nighclubs for pity's sake. The resulting lowest common demoninator fanbase is something the rest of the industry is still dealing with.

I agree competition is a good thing blah-blah, but the death-throes of a massive corporation are an even bigger reason to celebrate.

Dear Sony. I'll buy into either HD-DVD or Blu-Ray depending on which camp offers to upgrade my 1000+ DVD collection for me. If not, fuck off.

Andrew: in a few years time when all your favorite games play like ‘FIFA 2XXX (new shirt edition)’ you’re gonna really regret that decision, like I did. The fact tat you’ve bought it for Blu-ray puzzles me as you like HD-DVD better? huh?

Why not do what everyone else is gonna do, wait for a cheap hybrid Blu-ray and HD-DVD player??

This way, you’ve got 360 and Wii with the best games, AND you don’t have to worry about which format wins, and buy what ever discs you want!

Leave it to Sony to battle for Blu-ray, they’re using people like you to do their battling for them!!

Take it back, take it back whilst you still can, and use the money to toward a hybrid player!! :D
If you don’t you must have money to burn lol

Quote "well its wierd that you can't reserve for store pick up thru the argos website as you normally can for stock items - if they were sitting on a ps3 mountain you'd think they'd let you do whatever it takes as long as it shifts one."

Well i think that the price slashing going on at the moment is a pretty good indication that stock isn't shifting!

Just because MS is a weapon against the evil Sony empire doesn't make any of us sycophantic MS fanboys.

I don't even own a 360 or Wii, still enjoying my 3 beautiful white Sega Dreamcasts and 100+ games :)

Shenmue 3 on the 360 might sway me to get 1 though.

I’m getting a bit cynical about both sides of the ps3 debate now, does zorg still work for official xbox mag? are his bosses pressuring him to run pro xbox stuff after he almost lost his job in that girly gamer site drama? is this site as funny as it used to be?

bring back blue skies and the employee of the month and the tatty old sega stuff please!!

OK after a day of owning one I can say the following. It’s as good at games as a 360 (not better, not worse) but worse at everything else including Blu-Ray which is not as nice as HD-DVD. The playstation network thing is OK and if it had some content would be nearly as good as XBox Live. The PS3 seems to have been made in 1950′s Vietnam from the same platic they make Tic-Tac containers from. The SIXAXIS controller feels so cheap that I’m scared I’ll snap it. It smells of heated plastic all the time. I still don’t regret buying it though as it’s cheap for a Blu-Ray player and that’s the main reason I got it and I bet Blu-Ray wins over HD-DVD for films as HD-DVD is nicer, just like Betamax.
