Las Vegas, Nevada

Sony CEO Howard Stringersells rights of the Playstation brand to the open market.

"Although Microsoft was looking intobuying the company, Microsoft agreed that thecompany was a failure and was not worth the investement. They later gave the bid to Karl Albrecht, the founder of Aldi Grocer Inc. Karl believes there is still hope to the system and hopes that he can accomplish what Ken Kutakari couldn't.

True. Sony wouldn't sell the PS brand unless it collapsed more than it has, and a grocery chain wouldn'y buy it.

How can the PS brand not be even worth it? Yet one can only imagine Kratos on the green machine.

I tried reporting this guy, but it says that a mod approved of it! What kind of dumb crap is this? This guy is blatantly trolling, and if you click on his so-called "link", it leads you to a 404 error. Who the heck is moderating today that they'd approve of such a blatant violation of the TOS? :evil:

Playstation a failure? you gotta be kidding me. ps1 and 2 both sold tremendously and ps3 just started 7 months ago and you're telling me Playstation is a failure?

whoever wrote that story is an idiot. since when is a grocer company gonna buy Playstation. i understand if they bought albertsons or something, but Playstation? you gotta be smarter than that if you want people to believe your lies.

If you're going to post something like that here you're going to want a link that backs it up.
