As we all know, PlayStation 3′s VP of everything, Kevin Butler, was tricked into re-tweeting the PS3′s root key–a code which allows for the Sony console to be jailbroken. At the time, he believed it to be a game of Battleship, but he was dead wrong. It seems as though Major Nelson decided to get a little laugh out of this situation on Twitter.

Think he might mean Aaron Greenburg... who was talking smack about the PS3 and Wii nonstop at the beginning of this gen. I see how it's supposed to be humorous, but considering that hackers are the "enemy" of the industry, Major Nelson probably shouldnt be making light of the situation. If it was on his system he'd probably be going ape poo.

Kevin Butler's humor used to be great. The commercials literally made me "lol". But he's kinda over exposed these days. The commercials are losing their charm. What really turned me off of KB was when Sony started using him mainly as a PS Move mouth piece. Got very annoying.

All the corporate heads did it. Sony said rumble was last gen, the wii was a gimmick, etc etc Then copied with move.

This. Major Nelson actually knows his stuff, and he's not some dumb actor who thinks he's funny.

Are you serious? First of all I hope that Major Nelson does know his stuff, otherwise being director of programming would be pretty silly. Secondly, you said it yourself...KB (or the person who plays him) is just an actor, I can't see how anyone can even remotely compare the two. 1) Director of programming 2) Actor being told what to say How exactly can an actor think he's funny? You do realise that an actor is given a script and told exactly what to say and how to behave, right?

There are some people who think he's real. I don't wanna dash their hopes. That's like telling a little kid Santa isn't real.

Who's Major Nelson?TheMoreYouOwn
He's kind of the PR/marketing guy for Xbox 360 (and Microsoft). He does a podcast once a week. Its obviously quite a bit of pro-360 propaganda, but its still kind of fun to listen to, IMO.

He's a joke because he twisted what Major Nelson said. He didn't say "The PS3 is collecting dust". He said "I'm gonna be happy when I come over to your place and see the PS3 off and with dust on it." when asked about the recent announcement of Metal Gear Rising on the 360. Which is very different from what HHG twisted it into and a far cry from the earlier poster's insinuation that Major Nelson said that the 360 would destroy the Wii and PS3. The man is a joke and I just have to laugh at people who link him as if he has some sort of credibility.

But HHG also asked if Ps3 owners are getting the game too why would the Ps3 collect dust. Major said "when you look at the lineup, 1080p streaming, Natal" and etc all speak for themselves, plus they are cheaper.

It is true though that just saying it will collect dust is far from destroying, Blazer was wrong on that one.
