I am shocked that journalists, especially GS, will go this far just to make the PS3 look bad.

After Sony's victory at GDC, this article just suddenly popped up. I question their intention yet only lead them of being biased.

This article should kindly be removed.

For all users, be civil as possible.

I'm also a bit shocked. Not sure what else I'm feeling at the moment; mixed reactions. Still some effort has been put into the article. Even if it's not taken down, some parts really need to be edited. Way too blunt and/or unjustified. Especially on the Home service which is still not out yet so no one knows how it works in practice, yet is being criticised on. I found "Sony needs to rip off Xbox Live" to be really offensive.

Edit: As the internet doesn't portray tone very well, I'm not bashing GS at all. I am just expressing concern about the article.

Signed. Concern expressed.

I think there needs to be either some clean-up or a title change, not a retraction.

"Tipping Point" is totally unnecessary and unprofessional.

Its an editorial. And what's wrong with airing their grouses? As a customer you HAVE to demand more. That's the power of the customer. Instead of complaining about biasness and such, why don't you hope that Sony considers this and improves upon or brings more features in the future.

Really, its the customers that dictate the corporations. NEVER the other way around

And that's why the comment was so insulting. Sony is attempting totally original (for consoles) things with their new Home system, and Gamespot does nothing but bash it. The article was just a fancy way of saying "Xbox360 is better than the PS3", and nothing more.

Editorial titled '10 things to make the PS3 worth buying' lists 10 things they would like to happen to make the PS3 worth buying.

I can certainly see your issues with it:roll:

Sorrry to say this, Zeke, but I read over your blog entry, and...no offense by this, but several of your points seem either misguided, misinformed, or simply baseless. Clever satire, but a notable portion of the content really just isn't as valid or accurate as you think it is.

Are people really into achievements? I have a 360 and couldn't care less about them, yet GS makes them out to be the cats pajamas. Like achievements are going to win the console war or something. As far as exclusives go, yeah Sony has lost some but I don't see that many 360 exclusives that look that great. Other than Gears and Mass Effect there aren't really any that I am looking forward to. Plus Sonys first party games are much better, imho. The trophy room doesn't really interest me too much but a lot of Home seems pretty cool and unique, at least on a console. And the price thing always kills me. The 20 GB is 500, only 100 more than a premium 360 (which is the proper comparison in terms of features) and includes free online play and a next gen movie player.

The only problems I had with that article is the comments that accompany it. It spelled MS fans all over it. I agree with some parts of it though, except with the HOME part.

I never really claimed it to be an insightful editorial into how Gamespot works. And the reason I will issue an apology is because it was, well, rude. I made it clear that it was just satire, really nothing more.

Perhaps, but I'm pretty sure that a sizable portion of readers might take it as more literal than you might've have meant for it to be taken.

Remove what they feel is their own personal opinion?

Sorry, it doesn't sound logical to me.

Well, GS really isn't as biased as many people claim, because it seems like every year, people accuse them of being biased for someone else. I remember back when the PSP and DS came out, everyone claimed that GS hated Nintendo, was biased for Sony, and that prepetuated for quite some time, regardless of what happened.

If you want to post an opinion opposing others here, that's fine, but calling people names and such isn't going to keep things civil.

But right now after GDC, things should be looking up for the PS3... then all of the sudden they write the article. I'm a lost for word here.

No, that's not the case at all. I seriously think that people are blowing this stuff out of proportion because I've seen this sort of sweep of 'bias talk' repeatedly, and it ultimately resolves as being little more than hot air, time and time again.

That's fine. But we're going here each day to actually find some light for the PS3, then this happened... It's belittling, I tell you.

We do? I've never been anything but outspoken when they do something wrong, unfair, or whatever, yet I'm a L4 mod. :| They're not paying us for this. We're still forum posters. We're still allowed to have opinions. And the only thing I see wrong here is the way people are overreacting to an editorial. It's hardly the first time they've done it... writing an editorial like this, and people overreacting. I was referring to both, yes.
