Friday, February 29th, 2008

Eliminate the cheap PS3: CHECK! What? That didn't help sales? hmm Take out Backwardscompatibility! No? No good? Well.... Price drop! Last straw - we'll drop the price.  What?!? Still nothing?

Sony: Queens of “Can’t Make Up Their Damn Minds”

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

 Backwards compatibility anyone? No? Anyone? Ok, how about SOME backwards compatibility? Alrighty then! Grats! You indecisive bastards who can't put together a good idea so you just throw some sh*t out there and mold it into something people want over time as the public whines about how sh*tty your sh*t is - ...

Sony Tries Again to Give PS3 Some Wii-Like Functionality

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

 Imagine Sony making a "new tech" announcement on MTV. IMAGINE THAT! No target audience in mind, really. Regardless of 40- and 50- year old CorpExec's obsessions with being "cool" (thus Sony's multiple MTV 'reveal' appearances) this is OLD NEWS. Rememeber Arcades? Yeah - they still exist in some form - and before ...

CASUALTIES OF WAR: PHIL HARRISON QUITS TEH SONY

Monday, February 25th, 2008

 UK Resistance can be the "enquirer" of Game news sometimes, and other times, they're freakin hilarious. Regardless, they hold a general disdain for Sony as do I, so here's THEIR take: Global Sony games boss quits, no doubt due to lack of games on disaster machine and the general nonsense ...

BUAhAHa GTA IV Multiplayer to be 360 Only

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

 This is what Sony damn well gets for making Rockstar sign that "you can't release for 360 before the PS3" (aka the whiner's clause) in their contract concerning GTAIV. It's like they KNEW that the PS3 version would take longer. Look for Sony's future contracts to have a REVISED whiner's contract ...

Sony Taunts Consumers With BC in Hopes of Increasing Sales

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

What a pathetic bunch of yahoos. Sony's coming out and saying that they're not saying that they're saying that there might be a chance sometime in the undetermined future when backwards compatibility may or may not be making a grand or not-so-grand re-re-re-reentrance into the PS3. No word on whether or ...

What the PSP Could Have Been. IF OQO Had Designed It

Tuesday, February 12th, 2008

Folks are going nuts looking at THESE PSP mockup pics. But let's face it - it's just the OQO without the keyboard. I like the idea, but scrap that BS about it being so original. Whoeever mocked this up just borrowed from OQO. Mockup source @ flickr Bluff Called @ OQO

Sony Shows Off New Look of PS3’s Home

Monday, February 4th, 2008

Ya know - back in the late 1990's Sony's Home would have been great. That was when chat rooms were going the way of vrml and the short lived vhtml where you could "enter" a chat room and see your avatar standing there in amongst others in the room. When ...

Sony Japan to Launch PS3 “Best of” Line

Monday, February 4th, 2008

 Best of the worst selling games! Whee! Apparently Sony thinks that doing what everyone else does after 14 months is kosher. As if people will see $20 PS3 games and suddenly be able to justify the $600 it will take to play that game AND all their old PS2 and 1 ...
