Let me begin by clarifying: I want a PS3, and I really want it to not suck; the PS2 didn’t suck. I’m not at all anti-Sony, I’m pro-games.

Exhibit 1- The PSP

I drank the Kool-Aid and got one at midnight the day it came out, but it took me something like 6 months before I would admit that it was a shiny black $250 turd. Might as well call the damn thing Portland, ’cause 97% of the games are shitty ports of stuff you can play elsewhere.

Exhibit 2- Blu-ray

Can’t really blame Sony too much for this one, as they have a history of trying to shove proprietary (and quickly obsolete) media down your throat. I hate saying shit like this, but digital distribution is the future. You’ll see it when the next iPod rips off Zune’s wireless file sharing.

Exhibit 3- http://www.alliwantforxmasisapsp.com/blog

If you look the domain up on register.com, you’ll see it belongs to the Zipatone Co., a St. Louis, MO based marketing company. It would appear Sony went and hired someone to try and make people care about their stupid shit, and in the process really annoyed the piss out of me. WTF? Honestly though, I don’t mind advertising or viral marketing or any of that. People gotta make a buck somehow, but that shit’s just insulting.

(I do realize that by sharing the link and expecting people to click on it, I’m doing exactly what these assholes want me to do. I say fuck ‘em. You can’t get rid of a tumor without knowing where to cut.)
