"If you look January 13 was wrong you said EB games did a trade in your PS2 for $100 off a PS3 well that very same week they did trade in your gamecube and get $50 off the Wii and 1 year ago they did trade in your xbox get $100 off the xbox 360 so you are completing wrong."

Huh?

How does that make it a lie. EBGames' offer is real. Not a lie.

yea but by stating that a ps2 hand in gets $100 off a ps3 is a disappointment, you kinda saying that because you could trade in a x box for $100 off a 360, your also calling that a 360 disappointment

Jan 13, 2007 - EB offers a deal, trade in your PS2, cables, a second controller and a memory card, to get $100 off a PS3, in what people assume is an attempt to actually move PS3 units.

Natural_Mystic


Uhmmm how is that a disappointment? EBgames did that with the 360 last year , trade in your console , another controller, and the cables supplied with the console and get 80$ off the 360. I know that because.. well, I used that offer when I got my 360.
EB also did that with the Wii when you trade in your GC you get 50$ off the Wii.
This should definatly be taken off the list.

See Jan 10th entry - It's a disappointment when your VP of marketing criticizes another system for discounts at retail.

Jan 10, 2007 - Senior VP of Marketing Peter Dille: Every Sunday in the paper, there's a new deal with a free controller or a free game or $100 off all discounting the 360. I don't think you take those measures if you're selling as expected. (see Jan 13, 2007 entry)

But that is NOT Sony that was advertising the discount. It was only Ebgames and Gamestop that were using that offer and it was their idea not sonys.EB did it for EVERY next gen console, they do it for every new console that comes out. DS > DS Lite , PS > PS2 , Xbox > 360, GC > Wii , PS2 > PS3 . It is not just the PS3. It will keep on going, PS3 trade in for PS4 , 360 trade in for next Xbox. It WILL happen, thats what EB does with new systems.

even if 75% of that is not "bad" news, its still horrible.

Even worse that over 90% of it is "very bad" news.

Yes, in fact, this is probably the most believable thread in System Wars. The topic creator posted "dates", and "links", to various "news" articles.

I'd rather have Sony go through all that than have to worry about getting a defective PS3. Yes, there are defective PS3s out there (most reports are on the disk getting spit back out). There are always lemons with any product. Sony's defective numbers are miniscule compared to Microsoft's. According to various polls, the average defective percent 360s was around 20% (most ranged from 15% to 35%); that's almost 1 out of every 3 consoles. I can't believe Microsoft tried to cover this percentage up by saying it was only 3%. Sony put out a 1 year warranty on their new systems (something Microsoft did not offer at the time the 360 was launched), maybe to rest the minds of early adopters. I feel sorry for early Xbox 360 adopters who had their systems break after 4 months. Stories: http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2006/08/xbox_gamers.htmlhttp://www.xb360info.com/xbox/news/232 Consumer Reports: http://www.consumeraffairs.com/home_electronics/xbox.htmlhttp://www.xbox360defective.com/http://www.petitiononline.com/broke360/petition.html Microsoft's Answer (applies to most): http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/01/microsoft-says-that-only-3-of-xbox-360s-are-defective/ Microsoft's Fix: http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/734/734126p1.html At least Microsoft finally realized its mistakes, but the people at Microsoft should have tested the 360 more before launch.

[QUOTE="18slot"]I wish Sony hadn't taken the site down, because it was hilarious to read the angry comments.

http://www.ukresistance.co.uk/2006/12/sonys-latest-internet-lie-blog-goes.html

short version: A "PSP fan" creates a blog about how cool his PSP is and how much he loves it, but the viral marketers hired to do the job blow their cover by being a little too enthusiastic and using too much hip lingo. The site gets swarmed by people ripping Sony and in the end, the marketing company issues a "yeah, we got caught" final post.

Yeah, it's PSP related, but it's an embarrasing black eye.

EDIT:
lol, they mirrored the page here
http://www.ukresistance.co.uk/sonylieblog/default.aspx.htm
Juevani
its all about money.. Remember what ms did in PS2 vs Xbox time, they paid alot of people/employees to go on forums and game site 2 bash the ps2 and say that they just got one and they're dissepointed and how much they wished for an xbox, when they got caugh by the media nobody opened their mouths, everybody like to hate on the biggest u know, but when comes to real talk they all planing to get one when their favorite games is comin out, so spare us from the bs and just wait for ur fav game to be released..

Taiko88, where do you see 95 pages? This post is only 48 pages. gnutuxgnutux
you can set the number of posts per page displayed.  you like me have it set at 20, his is set at 10.  some people are set at 50.  it dosn't affect the number of posts,  just how many you can scroll thru before clicking next page
