Haha yeah, let me tell ya. I lost all my personal information, bank account was completely cleaned out, and now some asshole's running around with my own identity all willy-nilly. And here I am just sitting idly by, on a street corner mind you, typing away on this Gateway computer I found in some garbage heap (you know, where all the other Gateway products end up) giving you my life story. Crazy world, huh? Just thinking about, makes me wanna drink myself to sleep tonight...

I'm sorry, went off on a tangent. What were we talking about again?

I trust neither corporation. They are both bastards in their own ways.

 

Microsoft: Does anyone really believe that MS will just let the drm-fest slip away from their grasp? Everyone is forgetting that all it takes to enable or disable that shit is a simple patch. A few on-off switches essentially. What gives us the guarantee that they will not start creeping in those BS measures down along the line? They will not back down with out a fight.

Sony: Has it already been forgotten that Sony has had their system services exploited and shut down for a duration of a month? Oh, lets not also forget them cutting box advertised features such as linux support and full BC on the PS3's. Tell me, what has Sony done about the 'rare' YLoD occurrence that had earlier PS3's shitting bricks left and right? Where is the damn recall?!

 

Conclusion: Both corporations suck.

I don't trust any company. They're not my friends. It isn't their duty to please me, just as it isn't my duty to please them. They want money, I want a product. If their product looks good enough, then maybe I'll give them my money. And that's as far as the relationship ever goes. Can we please get rid of this notion of trust, as if corporations should be loyal to us? Because lord knows that (generally speaking) customers aren't loyal to corporations and are fully willing to switch as soon as it's convenient. People go "boo hoo, Microsoft is abandoning the loyal fans who made Xbox successful". Or "boo hoo, my favourite rock band is abandoning the fans who made them famous in order to cater to a more widespread audience." Or "boo hoo, George Lucas got rich off of us loyal hardcore Star Wars fans and now he isn't even releasing the unaltered original trilogy on Blu-Ray." And all I can think is, get a f***ing life. If you don't like it then don't buy it, but I am just SO sick of the idea that companies owe us this and that because of trust and relationships and "caring about the hardcore gamers."MrGeezer

Gonna be a watered down version probably.
