[QUOTE="hiphops_savior"]Oh no! MS has sold their soul to the devil for more cash. Owned by greedy Templars who seek to create a New World Order through controlling computers and the internet. Seriously, any company that's big enough to make money are greedy and evil. Donations and philanthropy made by them are just PR fluff.

Except that Microsoft is by far one of the worst out of all the big companies I dont see how lemmings can fail so hard to grasp that! And yet keep falling back on the, "bu bu buuu....they are all bad, so that excuses M$ of everything" Its delusional thinking! But it figures xbots would fall back on that line of "reasoning" Its like you have to be delusional to prefer Microsoft lol

Oh how soon we forget. Kids need to learn some history before posting. DRE lawsuit ring a bell? Root kits might have something to say.

Sony is FFAAAARRRRRRR from being what you seem to think.

Does "Microsoft in violation of usa anti trust laws ring a bell to you ;) Yeah, you need to go learn your history. You are an xbot in complete denial! Selectively remembering only what you want to remember. Pathetic! Hey and remember when Sony started charging for basic online play too.....oh wait, that's Microsoft! Also notice how Sony is trying to shove motion control gimicks down every one's throats.....oh wait thats what Microsoft is doing with the kinect! And rememeber how Sony has been releasing the same old 3 boring franchises again and agan, year in and year out....oh wait, yet again, thats Microsoft! And thats what Microsoft is doing with Gears/Halo/Forza! You dont need to be that pathetic xbot whos defending their own corporate rape at the hands of Microsoft I swear, xbox fans have stockholm syndrome

Why would I need to learn MY history? I'm not the one calling any corporation evil while giving others a free ride because YOU happen to like them. I'm saying what most level headed non biased people are saying. Your mind is clouded with rainbows and lilipops when it comes to Sony.

You happen to like Microsoft, so its obvious, thats why you are defendimg them with all your fanboy might I even said that Sony cares about profit like all big companies do, But that Sony doesn't f!ck the consumer for any marginal profit gain like Microsoft does M$ is the worst of the big 3, and is least for the consumer or for competition(out of the big three)  And THATS THE WHOLE POINT Can you comprehend that? You have just been rambling on, And all you can say is , "bu buu buu Sony isnt as good as you think" Well, Sony is a lot better then Microsoft is, and thats for damn sure, and any reasonable person can see that Xbox fanboys like you are the single worst group of fans on the planet

Whenever I read this high horse BS people here ride on, it reminds me: judge not, lest ye be judged. I am no saint, so who am I to judge any other. If I don't want it, I don't buy it, and that's where I leave it. I didn't want a $600 PS3, so I waited, but I never said Sony was evil for trying to convince people they could charge that much for a console.

since when they created Windows? I mean, Windows has always been this successful because of the monopoly. Even when they release trash like Windows 2000 and Vista they still manage to make huge profits. People are putting resistance against Windows 8 but every single PC manufacturer is putting Windows 8 on their machines so the adoption rate will be the same no matter what.

I don't recall Windows 2000 being trash. Windows NT? Sure. Windows 2000 was great. It's the Windows 7 of that time.

Oh you people and your clueless monopoly bandwagon nonsense. Fact of the matter is business/industry side Microsoft is by far the best competititor (and no they are not the only one) .... consumor side they are undergoing a shift to catch up though.

Evil??? god no.... Give a man a fish and he eats for a day... Teach a man how to fish...  Microsoft is simply teaching people how to fish, one company at a time... Sony went through the lesson and is trying to improve, Nintendo never will.

Yes because Sony and Nintendo love us and don't care about money and have always been loving corporations dedicated to making games only to please their fans, not to make a profit. This is why we've seen tons of exclusives every single year in all their consoles' existences.

You just reminded me of the plethora of idiotic Sony sayings over the past few years... I'll post a few of the standouts...

1) "We feel very confident that the PlayStation fan is going to wait until they can get a PlayStation 3. If they do pick up a Wii, it's as more of a novelty." Dave Karraker, senior director of corporate communications at SCEA a in an interview with the Wall Street Journal

2) "Wii is a core gaming device. It's a more fun, intuitive sort of product to pick up. Sony Australia & New Zealand general manager Nic Foster in an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald

3) "Nobody will ever use 100% of PS3's capability" Phil Harrison, president of Sony Computer Entertainment's Worldwide Studios speaking with MTV news.

4) Microsoft is not a technology company. Nobuyuki Idei, Sony chief corporate adviser in an interview with BBC NEWS

5) Sorry you didn't have the opportunity to buy a PS3 this year, but I'm sure it beats lining up in a queue for hours on end only to be told the store has sold out. Michael Ephraim, Managing Director of Sony Australia in an interview with the age.com.au

6) "A bit pricey" [speaking about nintendo Wii] Michael Ephraim, Managing Director of Sony Australia in an interview with the age.com.au

7) "A big investment for family entertainment."[speaking about Xbox360] Michael Ephraim, Managing Director of Sony Australia in an interview with the age.com.au :lol:

8) "I wish that they would come up with some strategies of their own, but they seem to be going down the path of everything we do." [speaking about Microsoft] SCEA boss Kaz Hirai in an interview with Official PlayStation Magazine the link below is a full list of 21 stupid and downright arrogant sony quotes. http://nmgamer.blogspot.com/2006/12/...ny-quotes.html merged :lol: :lol: :lol:

9) "I have no concerns about the competition." Phil Harrison, president of Sony Worldwide Studios speaking at the Game Developer Conference

10) "We don't care," [asked his opinion of the PS3's competitors] SCEA boss Kaz Hirai Gamespot interview at Tokyo games show

11) "PS2's Dual Shock controller is the de-facto industry standard for video games. And We define the standard for the man-machine interface for playing games. Phil Harrison, president of Sony Worldwide Studios, in an interview with GameSpot

12) You can look at the software that they sell. All their licensed kid stuff. So, what we're doing with the PlayStation Portable is really establishing a new marketplace, and establishing, frankly, a new beachhead. [comparing DS to PSP] Sony US Senior Vice President of Marketing, Peter Dille in an interview with Engadget

13) I think their product offering is still not broad enough. The content is narrow and appeals only to a very core group [speaking about Xbox360 Michael Ephraim, Managing Director of Sony Australia in an interview with the age.com.au

14) Q. How much will PS3's delay hurt Australian sales in the long term? A: Talking to our retailers I would have to say none" -and- "The early adopters will buy PlayStation 3. Michael Ephraim, Managing Director of Sony Australia in an interview with the age.com.au

15) Busted. Nailed. Snagged. As many of you have figured out (maybe our speech was a little too funky fresh???), Peter isn't a real hip-hop maven and this site was actually developed by Sony. Guess we were trying to be just a little too clever. From this point forward, we will just stick to making cool products, and use this site to give you nothing but the facts on the PSP. [speaking about all I want for Christmas is a PSP viral marketing campaign] posted on viral marketing website

16) "We're really looking at our target as urban nomads" [speaking about PSP graffiti viral marketing campaign] Sony spokeswoman Molly Smith in an interview with Reuters.

17) "The PlayStation 3 is a computer. We do not need the PC." Phil Harrison, president of Sony Worldwide Studios, in an interview with GameSpot

18) "Q: So are you saying that not having an exclusive on Grand Theft Auto doesn't hurt you at all? A: No, I don't think it hurts us. No, I really don't." Sony of America CO-COO Jack Tretton in an interview with the street.com

19) "Gengi is an action game based on famous battles which actually took place in Ancient Japan" So here's this Giant Enemy Crab, And You attack it's weak point for Massive Damage" also notable from E3 Five Hundred and ninety-nine US dollars, Its Ridge Racer!!! Some random funny Quotes from Sony's E3 press conference

20) We're providing more of an entertainment system, and they're focused more on gaming.[Comparing PSP to the Nintendo DS] Dave Karraker, PR head for Sony in an interview with pspfanboy.com

21) The idea of a handheld rivalry with Nintendo is an irrelevance. Those formats don't appear in our planning. It's not a fair comparison; not fair on them, I should stress. That sounds arrogant, maybe, but it's the truth. With theDS , it's fair to say that Nintendo stepped out of the technical race and went for a feature differentiation with the touch screen. But I fear that it won't have a lasting impact beyond that of a gimmick - so the long-lasting appeal of the platform is at peril as a direct result of that." [comparing the DS and the PSP] Phil Harrison, president of Sony Worldwide Studios in an interview with MCV

It really funny that Microsoft is shaking down so many companies when its begining was a rip off of apple and they defended a lawsuit from Apple.

" The development of the GUI made the Apple Mac popular for Graphical Desktop Publishing, but the IBM PC clone was still able to maintain market dominance. Meanwhile Microsoft worked on a GUI of it's own, and in 1985 it released an add-on to MSDOS called 'Windows 1.0'. However, this first version of Windows came with no useful compatible applications and its general functionality was limited by legal challenges from Apple (eg no overlapping windows). After defeating the law suites (Bill Gates defended them with the claim hey you copied from Xerox) it was able to release the much improved Windows 2.0 in 1987. That same year, two important programs written to work with Windows 2.0 were released: Microsoft Excel and Desktop Publisher Aldus PageMaker (the latter had previously only been available on the Apple Mac). Some computer historians date the release of PageMaker, the first appearance of a significant and non-Microsoft application for Windows, as the beginning of the success of Windows. " http://www.theoligarch.com/microsoft_vs_apple_history.htm

Here again is another case in which Microsoft copies an idea and does not pay yet they have the money, Microsoft could have just bought the company for chump change and no problem. http://news.cnet.com/8301-10805_3-57542863-75/microsoft-sued-over-windows-live-tiles/   I am not saying that Microsoft is wrong in this case Only that on one hand they threat to sue android for violation of nothing and yet defend that they are not violating a in a simular kind of case. 

There are just TOO many ways that Microsoft rips people off.  and yet EVERY COMPANY to some extent rip people off, Microsoft is just better at it and go to extreams to rip people of every which way.

I think I would consider the company that told the public to work more hours to afford their console more evil. That is the most insulting thing any electronics manufacture ever said to the public. Sony are the real crooks of the gaming industry.

Hindering the entire PC market with shady tactics and fud and ripping off their customers by charging them for things that should be free is more evil.

[QUOTE="kuraimen"][QUOTE="Miketheman83"]I think I would consider the company that told the public to work more hours to afford their console more evil. That is the most insulting thing any electronics manufacture ever said to the public. Sony are the real crooks of the gaming industry.

Hindering the entire PC market with shady tactics and fud and ripping off their customers by charging them for things that should be free is more evil.

I disagree. Sony is a company that blatantly lies to its fan base and disrespects them by telling them to work more. They also remove backwards compatibility every gen so you have to buy all the games you already bought again. Sony is starting to make Apple look good. I don't consider charging people $3 a month for a online service that costs money to run evil. Anybody with a job realizes what an insignificant amount of money that is.

hindering an entire industry by monopolizing it with shady tactics is unlike anything sony had done. If you believe exaggerating as advertisement is worse then you are probably a moron. By the way how's that milo doing?

[QUOTE="TheDidact"][QUOTE="tormentos"] Yeah sony was so evil by selling us $1,400 + worth of hardware for $600 and $500 dollars evil sony die in hell.TheEroica

Yes they are really great people for telling us to work two jobs to buy their console and that they'd pay us $2000 if a PS3 is left on store shelves.

You just reminded me of the plethora of idiotic Sony sayings over the past few years... I'll post a few of the standouts...

1) "We feel very confident that the PlayStation fan is going to wait until they can get a PlayStation 3. If they do pick up a Wii, it's as more of a novelty." Dave Karraker, senior director of corporate communications at SCEA a in an interview with the Wall Street Journal

2) "Wii is a core gaming device. It's a more fun, intuitive sort of product to pick up. Sony Australia & New Zealand general manager Nic Foster in an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald

3) "Nobody will ever use 100% of PS3's capability" Phil Harrison, president of Sony Computer Entertainment's Worldwide Studios speaking with MTV news.

4) Microsoft is not a technology company. Nobuyuki Idei, Sony chief corporate adviser in an interview with BBC NEWS

5) Sorry you didn't have the opportunity to buy a PS3 this year, but I'm sure it beats lining up in a queue for hours on end only to be told the store has sold out. Michael Ephraim, Managing Director of Sony Australia in an interview with the age.com.au

6) "A bit pricey" [speaking about nintendo Wii] Michael Ephraim, Managing Director of Sony Australia in an interview with the age.com.au

7) "A big investment for family entertainment."[speaking about Xbox360] Michael Ephraim, Managing Director of Sony Australia in an interview with the age.com.au :lol:

8) "I wish that they would come up with some strategies of their own, but they seem to be going down the path of everything we do." [speaking about Microsoft] SCEA boss Kaz Hirai in an interview with Official PlayStation Magazine the link below is a full list of 21 stupid and downright arrogant sony quotes. http://nmgamer.blogspot.com/2006/12/...ny-quotes.html merged :lol: :lol: :lol:

9) "I have no concerns about the competition." Phil Harrison, president of Sony Worldwide Studios speaking at the Game Developer Conference

10) "We don't care," [asked his opinion of the PS3's competitors] SCEA boss Kaz Hirai Gamespot interview at Tokyo games show

11) "PS2's Dual Shock controller is the de-facto industry standard for video games. And We define the standard for the man-machine interface for playing games. Phil Harrison, president of Sony Worldwide Studios, in an interview with GameSpot

12) You can look at the software that they sell. All their licensed kid stuff. So, what we're doing with the PlayStation Portable is really establishing a new marketplace, and establishing, frankly, a new beachhead. [comparing DS to PSP] Sony US Senior Vice President of Marketing, Peter Dille in an interview with Engadget

13) I think their product offering is still not broad enough. The content is narrow and appeals only to a very core group [speaking about Xbox360 Michael Ephraim, Managing Director of Sony Australia in an interview with the age.com.au

14) Q. How much will PS3's delay hurt Australian sales in the long term? A: Talking to our retailers I would have to say none" -and- "The early adopters will buy PlayStation 3. Michael Ephraim, Managing Director of Sony Australia in an interview with the age.com.au

15) Busted. Nailed. Snagged. As many of you have figured out (maybe our speech was a little too funky fresh???), Peter isn't a real hip-hop maven and this site was actually developed by Sony. Guess we were trying to be just a little too clever. From this point forward, we will just stick to making cool products, and use this site to give you nothing but the facts on the PSP. [speaking about all I want for Christmas is a PSP viral marketing campaign] posted on viral marketing website

16) "We're really looking at our target as urban nomads" [speaking about PSP graffiti viral marketing campaign] Sony spokeswoman Molly Smith in an interview with Reuters.

17) "The PlayStation 3 is a computer. We do not need the PC." Phil Harrison, president of Sony Worldwide Studios, in an interview with GameSpot

18) "Q: So are you saying that not having an exclusive on Grand Theft Auto doesn't hurt you at all? A: No, I don't think it hurts us. No, I really don't." Sony of America CO-COO Jack Tretton in an interview with the street.com

19) "Gengi is an action game based on famous battles which actually took place in Ancient Japan" So here's this Giant Enemy Crab, And You attack it's weak point for Massive Damage" also notable from E3 Five Hundred and ninety-nine US dollars, Its Ridge Racer!!! Some random funny Quotes from Sony's E3 press conference

20) We're providing more of an entertainment system, and they're focused more on gaming.[Comparing PSP to the Nintendo DS] Dave Karraker, PR head for Sony in an interview with pspfanboy.com

21) The idea of a handheld rivalry with Nintendo is an irrelevance. Those formats don't appear in our planning. It's not a fair comparison; not fair on them, I should stress. That sounds arrogant, maybe, but it's the truth. With theDS , it's fair to say that Nintendo stepped out of the technical race and went for a feature differentiation with the touch screen. But I fear that it won't have a lasting impact beyond that of a gimmick - so the long-lasting appeal of the platform is at peril as a direct result of that." [comparing the DS and the PSP] Phil Harrison, president of Sony Worldwide Studios in an interview with MCV

this post seems to have taken a great deal of time only to realize nobody cares :( people dislike microsoft and for good reason.

every company is there to make money, and every company makes bad moves but microsoft business practices are the worse of them all on the consumer, ofc they make them more money but i'm not a fuking shareholder, im a player and they are the worse from the point of view of the user.

Well there in lies the crux of everything we discuss.... "how does it effect me!?" This is a hobby based on entertainment not survival... pay to experience what satisfies you and leave the rest behind.

They are both greedy. Sony would charge for online in a heartbeat if they knew they wouldn't lose business because of it. But Sony does have the almighty 8gb's of GDDR5 ram, which is known to cure cancer.

... Yeah its kind of baffling people don't understand this..  The majority of businesses out there would charge monthly fees if they could..  Which is fvcking HILARIOUS that people don't think Sony would do the same thing when they SPEARHEADED the pay to play business model during the 90s with Everquest..
