It came with the template. Maybe in 2014 we'll jump on board the Twitter train and put that in here. Or a radio. That'd be nice.
that the 10.5million PS£ sold help win the blue ray fight, that cant be true there are that many dumb people buying ps£'s
I've seen it suggested that this is related to his whiny bitching the other week where he claimed he invented the idea of making casual games and that Nintendo stole his idea. It's a shame Sony didn't release a PS2 with waggle controls, we wouldn't have the PS3 causing confusion in the marketplace then.
He'll be back. Probably working for EA.
Numbers currently stand at about 20/17/8, guess who's in first!
I'm reckoning Sony think something along the lines of that Blu-ray has now won, thus they don't need the PS3 anymore...
Software turns out to be shit : "That wasen't my idea!"
Even in resignation, he blames others.
Come to think of it when Microsoft admitted defeat with the great Xbox 360 HD-DVD drive, UK:Resistance was... quiet like a mouse.
In fact, when Blu-ray pulvasrised the Microsoft/Toshiba alliance, UK:Resistance was quiet like... a mouse.
Nintendo Wii has quad-tripled-bonused the lifetime sales of the Xbox 360, and you sit here blogging about how you love George W. Bush/ and the Xbox 360.
What next? A post stating your firm belief that the HD-DVD add-on will help Microsoft win the format war?! Take your head out the sand!
P.S. Why don't you ever mention how SUPER Mario helped Sonic get back to the top of the charts?
-apart from that. Keep the good work up!
What you're really missing is nobody gives a fuck about HD-DVD or Blu-Ray. Apart from Sony zealots.
A world in which there are only cockroaches left in the smoking ruins of civilisation would be just fine, as long as there are no PlayStations. "We" still win in that scenario.
Like all religions, this may seem odd and impossible to explain and justify, but it's just how it is.
Maybe I should get my teeth straightened and do a Tom Cruise parody YouTube video to explain all this?
"our" religion needs reassessed.
And as for all this hooray for Blu-ray bollocks: I'll stick with regular DVD for now, since I can't bring myself to fork out for an HD TV that'll depreciate to half its value over night, and a giant enemy crab simulator thank you very much.
Am I missing something or just ill-informed?
Wash your hands now.
