This stupidity of Sony is simply the noise of a decrepid out dated company on its death bed. Sony is washed up.

Please die quickly because the smell of your flesh and crap in your pants is making us all sick. You won’t be missed, so go somewhere now and quietly die alone.

Cheers

I thought I heard something about this at E3, Guardian Gamer blog nails it:

From TFA:
“I would like to clarify that this is false speculation and that PlayStation 3 software will not be copy protected to a single machine but will be playable on any PlayStation 3 console.”

You’re preaching to the choir on this one. I completely agree. Sony is head of the list on the do not buy because of their past actions. Even if the industry does finally wake up and meet the customer demands to bring them back to the stores, Sony won’t be one I will be buying from until the heads roll that are responsible for their ill-convinced plots.

Sony will have to show it’s self as being a different animal than it is now. I don’t want not only Sony media but neither do I want their tvs, players, and other electronic equipment as a result of not being able to trust their methods of business. While a chance is stood to discover the hokey-pokey in computer programming on a pc, most stand absolutely no chance with hardware programming in electronics.

I completely fail to understand why ANYONE ANYWHERE would trust any Sony product at all. They have proven that their corporation will go to extreme lengths to villify their own customers by using poorly executed DRM schemes. It has been in the mainscream media. It has resulted in class action lawsuits. It has resulted in court rulings against them. It has been splashed over the internet. And yet people still pay hard won buck$ to help them make the bottom line fat and healthy.

When will people get it? BOYCOTT BOYCOTT BOYCOTT BOYCOTT BOYCOTT BOYCOTT BOYCOTT BOYCOTT BOYCOTT BOYCOTT BOYCOTT BOYCOTT BOYCOTT BOYCOTT BOYCOTT

“…its hand-held games consoles would, âverify a disc as legitimate, register the disc to that particular game console, then wipe out verification data so the disc would be rendered unreadable in other PlayStations,â

Brilliant.
If they want to stop selling games…

We really should encourage them and keep feeding them rope. And then yank it really hard when they inevitably screw up.

“iTunes marks are very much in the minority” made me larf! Anyone who buys expensive, low-quality music infected with DRM from iTMS is stupid. m’kay?
