Hypotheical Situation

One day you walk into a car dealership and you see a great car. You spend a lot of money on it and it has all the great features you love like power windows and lock, ABS, GPS, great sound system, and gets great mileage. You love this car and you drive it around everywhere. Things are going great until one day everything changes. Out of nowhere the manufacturer of the car comes and says that you can no longer have the power windows and locks. Would you accept this? Then a while later they come back and say that the GPS and sound system are now gone. Would you stand for this? Everyone would answer no to these questions since they would not be pleased by these actions. Then why do people still support the PS3 when all Sony does is remove the features you pay for?

That's an.... odd hypothetical situation, but I don't have a PS3 but what features is theit removing?

Those things are fundemental to a car, while things being removed on the ps3 are not.kipohippo021

I'd be angrier if the car stopped working every 6 months.

Hey, this is a thread about cars.

So "Microsoft" is raising the price of gasoline.

The new car smell usually costs quite a few thousand dollars more than the used car smell.

What's with the rise of PS3 bashing today?

Odd, Sony hasn't removed any of the features I paid for. I didn't pay for linux, and I'm fairly certain no product manufacturer has any obligation to support non licensed products.

[QUOTE="tagyhag"]Because generally they're features that no one used.ImprovedMind

Um, BC wasn't removed, it simply isn't in new models, there is a difference. No one who had BC wasn't suddenly unable to play ps2 games after an update or something.

3rd party USB devices that are officially licensed still work, and why would you buy some unlicensed crap in the first place? The only feature removed you could even be angry about is linux, but you had to choose to update the system or you could keep it.

Anyway, its a good thing Sony got sued for removing Linux. The had to pay all the plaintiffs but only a small amount. I just wish they lost a lot more. Millions.

[QUOTE="ImprovedMind"][QUOTE="Fightingfan"]Depends, is the car cheaper? Because I can install window's myself and I know how to do wiring.RogueShodown

They also removed Backwards compatibility. Even if they never advertised it with the newer PS3s, it should still be considered as a downgrade of the PS3 platform. Apparently the removed support for some USB devices.

Third party devices still do work. We've yet to see any proof any device was affected outside of unlisenced/counterfeit controllers.

And Sony never "took away" your PS2 BC. If you bought it with BC, it's still there. If BC isn't in your system, it never was... and they lowered the price because of its removal. That's like arguing your car company took away your sun roof because some other guy has one and you don't. :|

Nice try with the car/ps3 analogy. I wouldnt mind ONLY IF the car became cheaper/the company refunded money to me for losing features that were initially advertised as being superior to the competition Of course, this wouldn't work with Sony since they are removing minute features (except for BC)Funconsole

After reading the first two sentences I immediately knew this was a PS3 bashing thread. Trolls are soooo predictable now a days.

You know that feeling of extreme anger you get when you buy a car and it breaks down on you not too long after buying it? That's how I feel about the 360...

Hey look, I can make car-console analogies too!

Hypothetical situation # 2?

Lets say one day you are paying for internet and the ability to play online. But one day a system is released that makes you pay extra to play online. Why would you continue to support that system when the other systems released in the market offer free online.

hmm. maybe im not so good at this hypothetical situation making stuff :P

but do you get what i mean?

LOLOLOL. Nice one.

What about this.

Say your entire life, youve been able to drive your car for free after youve already purchased it, with the exception of gas expenses. One day, a car manufacturer comes out and charges people a fee to drive their own car that they purchased. What should society do? BUY THE CAR. It comes with a build in XM radio! Much better than the other cars, although its possible to optionally install XM radio on those cars too.

now days everybody wants to talk like they got something to say but nothing comes out when they move their lips but a bunch of jibberish.....

but seriously sony removed those features because it was a matter of security they didn't want the PS3 to be hacked or loose money because of pirated games it makes since to me. i never used linux all of my usb flash drives still work so i have no reason to complain

Right...

if there were people who recently found a way to break into my car, and intended to do so, yes, I would be perfectly fine with having some useless features removed
