[QUOTE="navyguy21"]Lol, were you equally mad last gen when Sony did the same to MS and Ninty? Why you think they call them cows? Where do you think MS learned it? How you think sony got all those first party studios? Some people need to wake up and realize how capitalism works. MS does more for consumers, the economy, and the world that what system wars realizes. Bill games HIMSELF donates almost 15% if his own income to charity and his organizations. MS gives free PCs and OS systems to 3rd world countries, as well as donate money to worldwide natural disasters. So because they try to compete effectively on a gaming front, they are judged on that alone? Some of you my really be young if you cant see that the world is bigger than the gaming industry. Outside of System wars, MS and Sony are great business partners. I will never understand how people claim MS are the greediest, while completely sweeping the things Sony and Ninty (and just about every other for-profit company or corporation) has done since its creation.coasterguy65
Exactly ^^^^^
I always find this topic funny on SWs. It seems like most of the people here must have just started gaming this generation, or have some serious short term memory issues. Here's how Sony and the PS2 played out for me;
Do you want to actually save that game you are playing? You had to buy a Sony over priced memory card, which at the time was only made by Sony. Unlike MS who actually included an HDD last generation, and a memory card or HDD this generation. (or in the case of the 4GB internal memory)
Do you want to get online and game? You have to buy Sony's over priced network adapter. (at least until they started packaging it in with the PS2 later in the generation)
Do you want to use a hard drive to save your game? You have to buy Sony's over priced HDD attachment, or buy Final Fantasy 11 just to get it. Then once they released a HDD they basically stopped supporting it.
Does all of this sound familiar?
Do you actually want your discs to read on your PS2 for more than 2 years...buy a new PS2. (yeah I know some of the originals still work, but not many of them do. Some of the launch 360's never got RRoD either..mine never did)
There's a reason Cows are called Cows. Sorry folks Sony and MS are both in it for the money, and will do whatever they can to make more.
did you ever think maybe the tec wasnt available and sony did what they had to do to give those things to us? just an idea....point is ps3 came fully equipped out of the box at launch...the 360 however....actually...nuff said im done
