[QUOTE="James161324"]The high horse people here ride on is amazing. Using the word EVIL to describe a company who basically is doing what a corporation's purpose is......Business. That is all they are doing. I dont agree with the gold to play online so I dont pay for it, but it's not evil. Flying jets into buildings and killing civilians is evil.This. I really can't stand how casually the word "evil" is thrown around.There's plenty of it out in the world without the word being misused. Hell, it's even a bit of a stretch to call MS unethical.Here we go again. Microsoft is a business, they want to make money. End Thread

Wonder book and LBP Karting on PS3 ?
LOL
the people they screw is the people let them screw them...
devs and mainly about fez paying $10k for a patch is their fault. why? i am 110% that was in the contract when they signed it. If they didn't like it they should of moved onto steam/sony or tell ms change it lol.
Anyone pay full price for xbl is their choice for not looking around. I have only paid full price for it once and thats when i got the first xbox after that i have never paid more then half price.

MS offered way better hardware for 300$ a year before PS3
PS3 came with worst GPU and hardware, a year later and had a 600$ cost
And somehow it is MS that takes advatage of gamers LOL
I wont even go to how useless PS3 is for gaming, aside a few games like Demons Souls or NI no Kuni that are one every 3 years
Lets see the 2012 lineups for both systems

I dont think they mean that Microsoft is literally evil, they just use tactics that are very anti-consumer.

Then they should say so. To me, whenever I see that, it just invalidates their argument because it shows they relly aren't putting too much thought into what they are saying.[QUOTE="PAL360"]By awesome I take it you mean a pos with no games? :PIt has 924 games http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Xbox_360_games which is 165 more than the Ps3 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PlayStation_3_games and 295 less than the wii http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wii_gamesMS is evil yes, just like EA, Sony, Activision and every other big company.

Yet they are the most ethical companies list...makes alot of sense. Sony releases a console with a $600 price tag with a horrible lineup of games with a difficult to program for architecture and microsoft are anti consumer? Lol. The only reason sony releases so many exclusives is because they have to to compete because 3rd party devs want nothing to do with it. 360 and PC gamers are getting great games like Left 4 Dead, Witcher, Splinter Cell, Alan Wake etc etc. and ps3 gamers are getting weak multiplats and missing out on some of the best games this generation because sony made their console a certain way for their own benefit. This place is so flooded with ps3 fans spreading around lies its pathetic. In the real world the 360 is the dominant hardcore console and everyone knows that.[QUOTE="crimsonman1245"][QUOTE="Miketheman83"]http://mobilitydigest.com/microsoft-makes-worlds-most-ethical-companies-list-for-2nd-straight-year-google-and-apple-are-a-no-show/ Microsoft has been on the most ethical companies list the last two years, sony has not.

In the real world the 360 is the dominant hardcore console and everyone knows that.i think MS have done really well in the sense that they have secured some 'must have' Pc games for the 360 like left4dead, witcher, metro 2033 and mindcraft, also, over here in blighty the 360 (and i mean the hdd version) was the second cheapest console at launch over here, the first being the nintendo gamescube, i also think that Multiple SKU's was a good idea because it caters to peoples different financial status, not everyone could afford a 20Gb Pro model 360 but they could still get the 360 experience with the cheaper arcade model, unlke other people i also think they handled the RROD fiasco rather well, offering a 3 year warranty and riembursing anyone who had paid for repairs before the warranty a very good move.By awesome I take it you mean a pos with no games? :P[QUOTE="Eddie-Vedder"][QUOTE="PAL360"]

You are missing some important ones like Journey and Starhawk.
I think the word TC meant to use is 'EXPLOIT'. Evil does not describe Microsoft, however them popularizing a trend to exploit customers is sickenning. Lems can argue all they want about Xbox Live Service, but paying to PLAY online is just boderline effed up. How about letting people PLAY online for free and offer whatever it is they offer at a premium to be paid like PS+

If you are gonna make a list for both least do it without fanboy googles on, cause ps3 has more coming out than that.Lol @ people saying all companies do the same. NOT all companies are the same. There are companies out there who are not as crappy as M$. Hell the fact that M$ practically invented the term FUD is enough to see what kind of company they are.kuraimen
There are indeed. $ony is clearly not one of them.

Although Sony is not a saint they're in no way near M$' levels of crappiness.Lol @ people saying all companies do the same. NOT all companies are the same.

You see, that's evil sh!t. Getting you to pay for something that's free elsewhere is a corporate dream.

You see, that's evil sh!t. Getting you to pay for something that's free elsewhere is a corporate dream. I'm not talking about charging for something free, that's part of the actions that crap on consumers but not one of the biggest. That's the least of the things they do. They are one of the biggest patent trolling companies in the world, they spread FUD on their competitors, they adapt open protocols to make them exclusive to their systems effectively monopolising the PC market, they close their systems and make deals with educational institutions in third world countries to create dependency on their products. Poor people are then left with no choice but to use expensive MS products for the rest of their lives even though they could be using free products with even better quality, many of them pirate those products then and the whole country is put on a black list and affected commercially. They could have a much more open and universal policy focused on cross-platform compatibility like many companies in the tech business. That's also ignoring the fact that their outsourcing methods use workers in lousy conditions in other countries. Sure they're not an oil company or Monsanto but within the IT world they're probably the lousiest company out there.[QUOTE="kuraimen"]Lol @ people saying all companies do the same.

Because they aren't.
This is business, people. Don't like it? Vote for your wallet. I promise that b**ching about it here isn't going to make anyone at Microsoft feel bad about themselves.
You should thank Microsoft. If Microsoft wasn't around, who knows what they would be charging gamers now for games or systems.
And I don't see what Microsoft is doing that so evil. As far as Live goes, you get what you pay for. You can have next to zero lags or you can end up like the Playstation Network. Still don't like it, then don't buy it.
Live has nothing to do with lag its your internet connection.You should thank Microsoft. If Microsoft wasn't around, who knows what they would be charging gamers now for games or systems?

Both systems use P2P connections and so the dumb idea about having more/less lag is ridiculous and only invented by lems to justify getting ripped off. The 360 has faster downloads but that's about it, the gaming lag is equal among systems and/or dependent on the devs so stop spreading lies.You should thank Microsoft.

Apple does a lot of the same sh!t. And all of the the other stuff is pure bullsh!t. I'm not defending Apple. But Apple and M$ have a very important difference. Apple doesn't have a virtual monopoly on the PC market so they can't dictate and control the market as much as M$ does affecting other competitors. Apple, for me, is an option I will never use and it doesn't affect my freedom to choose. M$, on the other hand, is very difficult to avoid due to their control of the market and therefore they affect my freedom and even the non-M$ products I use. For example even if I choose to use only Linux-based systems some of the revenues go to M$. That's BS and makes it a step over Apple in crappiness.[QUOTE="kuraimen"][QUOTE="heretrix"]Yeah, there are some who are worse.Last time I checked MS wasn't responsible for destroying the environment, having people killed directly or indirectly, evicting people out of their homes to build condos or...Jesus, I could go on.
