It's finally time for a new Blog Post.

I Havnt been posting anything here for ages. So what what do I have in mind this time? Well its about my dissapointment with the Playstation3. OK I can reveal it right away, I'm a PS Fanboy (or rather, against MS Xbox! some old habits are hard to get rid off) :)

I Have to complain.

When PS3 came out, I realy wanted one. I still do, but I dont want the "newer" versions. I want the older 60GB version. Why? Cause the downgrading they did with PS3.

Where did backward compatibility go? I dont want to buy a new PSTwo (or PS2), to play my large bunch of PS2 games, when my PS2 finally leaves this life. Well, its possible that I wont play my old PS2 games that much when I get a PS3 (as I didnt play that many of my older PSOne games on my PS2), but I want the option, and the simplisity of just having to have "ONE" friggin console attached to my Telly! So what the hell where they thinking at Sony? I can understand why they did it in some ways. The PS2 scene still lives. And to cash in more on that scene, they splitted the PS3, into just PS3 and a PS2 addon tactics (by two mashines is better then bying one!). But heck! its stupid non the less. One of theplus thing with PS3 whas the LARGE game libriary "not just Next Gen games, but also play your older PS2 and PS1 games on this super multimedia über game consol". Well that went out the window! adios.

Where did the Cardreader go? Wasnt it a good idea to have a cardreader that could store gamesaves, photos, movies etc. It took MemorySticks, Compact Flash, Secure Digital. Great! Superb! Exelent! "Finaly Sony shows some brains, in letting other formats being compatible with their stuff, instead of just their own standards!" ... but that was also thrown out the window.

And what about this removal of some USB ports? are they stupid? Well you probably only need 2 USB ports, if you are a casuall first time Playstation Owner! And yeah, the PS2 to PS3 Gamepad and memorycard into USB thingie isnt needed anylonger now when the friggin machine cant play thouse games anymore, but common! How many bucks did they earn by removing a couple of USB ports?

And the worst thing is that, It didnt cost that much less! So WHY? The sad thing is that now, Im looking for "second hand" PS3s, the Real PS3s as I call them, cause I dont want the new one, and the Real PS3 isnt manufactured today. The drawback is though that the hardware now is cooler, childsicknesses is cured (many of them), its more silent etc. And they comes with gurantees (witch the older second hand PS3s just have if you're lucky). The thing is that the old PS3s still sell for more money then a new PS3. The Second hand value of a real PS3 is super. They have lost minimal value. You can get back almost what you paid for it, back then when the PS3 cost 600 bucks.

So why dont Sony / Playstation realize that there is a marked for the "complete package". Are they just stupid, egoistic, stubborn, or ignorant? (I guess you could pick any of them, and still be right!).

I feel a bit punked, or at least a bit lett down.

"buy a friggin Xbox360 then, and stop wiening!" you probably say. But I actually dont have the money to buy even "One" next gen consol and a HD-TV (Still uses my old CRT 4:3 27" TV). And as my PS2 is getting old, and will probably die in a couple of years, Id want to be able to play thouse games in the future. So I was planing for a PS3 (all in one) when it was released.

But that looks distant today, cause the old Real PS3, still is more expensive then the new downgraded PS3s!

I had dreams, of a PS3, and completing it with a PSP (Xbox doesnt yeat have a handheld gamemachine) and everything would be "JOY". But I got punked.

So, well. Maybe I should get a Xbox360 instead?!

Damn you Sony!
