    Your oppinion of Sony

    Just wondering what your oppinion of Sony is at the moment. For the record, I hate them with an undying passion at the time being. Here is a few reasons why.
    1: They had to recall thousands of laptop batteries because of a tiny flaw (they kinda exploded and all)
    2: They secretly installed rootkit on your computer.
    3: crappy optical drives that users had to void the warranty just to fix
    4: Suing Lik Sang out of business for selling Japanese PSP's (which were not selling well to begin with) to European gamers.
    oh yea, speaking of sales, the game to system ratio of sales says they are selling more PS3's than games (much more) basically implying most ppl are just buying it to resell it on eBay at a higher price.

    Yea, I hate Sony with a passion since that last one, any other oppinions
    (Maddox sums up my grievances quite nicely in one rant.


    So, what do you guys think of Sony (and not just in terms of gaming)

      No, they are all Sony.

      Look up some information.

      Also, try the one where Sony put copy protection on their CDs that installs spyware on your computer.

          I don't like their business practices, but I enjoy their gaming consoles.

          PS2 was the best video gaming thing to happen to me.

            you forgot to mention that sony copied nintendo, for example, look at their controller, got it straight from the SNES layout. But i love some of their games, like Twisted Metal, definitely, my favorite was 3 and then black

              It could be very easily argued that all controllers are copied from all other controllers because they "look alike". It just can't be proven because video game controllers are all meant for very similar purposes and based off an original design, no matter what company makes them. Take computers for example. Just because they are all rectangular prisms with very similar sizes, and have buttons in the same place, doesn't mean the idea is stolen from another computer-making company just because they released their computer first.
              Or maybe they did steal the layout and I'm just pulling this out of thin air. Oh well.

                nahhh, there was a similar thread like this at VGDC Forums and i was trying to get those posts here, i just couldn't explain fully, the two used to work together for a disc playing system until nintendo dumped them off for another company, was this the reason why sony got into videogame design?

                  I hate Sony with a passion. I am not even a fan of their consoles. I am a fan of many of the games for their consoles, but the systems themselves are largely pieces of crap.

                  And Sony doesn't design ****, guys. Don't call them a video game designer. They got into the video game market by selling consoles that appealed to the largest market at the time, and because of that, they built up a large support from good third party developers. If Nintendo had gone to a disc-based format with the N64 instead of going with cartridges, I fully believe they'd still be on top.

                    I don't really care, but I consider the PS2 to be the best console since the SNES.

                      One of the reasons they took back the exploding laptops was a safety issue.

                      I mean, would you really like to keep a laptop that exploded? Not only that, if they do explode, Sony would get sued and I know they wouldn't like that.

                          I don't like Sony.
                          1. Computer technology sucks
                          2. Took the idea for motion sensor game controller tech from Nintendo.
                          3. Gran Turismo HD ( for the have to pay money for unlockables)
                          And any other reason to hate them as well.

                            Sony with its playstations 1 and 2 have more of a balanced and wide range of games than any of the other system. They may not have the best marketing strategies, but they still have a good lead on most of their equipment. Also, didnt microsoft make the xbox because they knew it would appeal to more gamers? So how is microsoft very different from sony in the first place?

                            BTW, learn to spell before you post a thread. Opinion doesnt have to p's.

                              I can say that every new version of Windows is buggy until a long time after its release. Even then, it is still buggy. Every comapany has some kind of problem so you can't just point fingers at Sony and say they suck because of it.
