Sony discussion (Carry-over from GD Forums)
 

Being one of the drome's many misanthropes in regards to Sony, I thought I'd put this up incase people wanted to continue ranting about Sony's apparent dimentia in regards to some alleged decisions being made about the PS3. It was a hot topic while these boards were down.

Copied from the GD thread:
About the used games thing: I agree that it's a bad move but I never ever buy used games nor do I rent them so this whole affair doesn't concern me at all. If there are enough good games I'm sold.
And since MGS4, FFXIII+, God of War and the new game from the ICO/Shadow of the Colossus team will be there, it's very likely.

You don't even bring games over to a friends house to play?

I think that's the really really stupid part.

"Yo, man! I just got this whack ass sick game, dawg!"
"Yo, G! Bring dat sh*t on ova and we'll gun down some biznatches, whatchu say?"
"Nah, man. I can't! Sony done messed wit my sh*t. If I come share dis here game witchu they's afraid you gonna pirate it or some whack cracka sh*t!"
"Daaaaaaaamn!"

None of my friends, absolutely NO ONE of them is a gamer so... no...:cry:
And I don't buy used games because I can get most games I want new on Ebay for dumping prices. I almost never pay more than 50-75% of the actual price.
Don't get me wrong, I still think it's a stupid idea. It's just that it probably won't affect me.

Well, it pisses me off to no end. I was going to plan on getting one (all three systems w00t), but if they pull this sh*t......heh.

I may just wait for 360 ports of everything they get, because let's face it, they WILL port everything (almost). The word exclusive dosen't mean jack anymore.
