The #1 reason not to buy a PS3 - Ethics

This is the real reason why nobody should buy a PS3. Don't say that it has no good games, because that's just not true. The current lineup is pretty weak, but future titles are going to be awesome, no matter how shaky the technology they are running on. The reason that you should not get a PS3 is because of ethics, morality. Sony, as a company, is rude, uncaring, controlling and bordering on evil. The number of times they have been caught out doing things which are just plain illegal is astonishing - the most famous is probably their theft of rumble from immersion corp, which they then covered by tieing immersion corp up in appeals and expensive lawyers for years. But the one which made me change my mind is this:
http://www.usatoday.com/tech/columnist/andrewkantor/2005-11-17-sony-rootkit_x.htm

Now, I know this is old news, but it's not widely known or talked about, and it's absolutely shocking. Sony doesn't care about their customers or even the law - their only goal is to make as much money as possible in any way they can.

I am a big PS brand fan. Until the wii came out, the PS2 was the only console I had ever bought. I love my PS2 games, and I am very excited about the next generation of those games, games like Final Fantasy 13, White Knight Story, Fifth Phantom Saga, Ratchet and Clank 5 and Heavenly Sword. But I am turning away from these games and others, because sometimes, you have to do what's right, even when it results in discomfort for you. Instead, I will read the previews and reviews of these games avidly, and await the day that they come to a console which is not owned by Sony.

As of today, I am boycotting the PS3, the PSP, and as many other sony products as possible, and I urge you all to do the same, even if you do want FF13 really badly. Especially if you want FF13 really badly.

The ps3 doesnt have any good games. That is a proven fact. ANyone who disputes this doesnt know video games. The ps3 is also technologically inferior to the 360 which came out a year earlier, actual videogames prove this. ps3 games are graphically inferior to 360 games as well and will continue to be so for their entire life span. The ps3 better start picking up & sellin g soon cause a 10 year project isn't going to last 10 years if sales are in the toilet. Sony can keep the ps3 on store shelves as long as they want but its not going to just magically shoot up to first place in 5 years when the next-next gen starts with no games and no console sales cause the ps3 also has nothing coming down the pipeline for software in the next few years. Everythings going multi-platform. Illumination77

I love it when people mix facts with opinions...

At this time the PS3 doesnt have any good games.. But the linup is quite good.

omg this is pathethic. You think  sony is the only bad company in the world? You know MS is pretty bad to.

MS are getting suid for billions in EU for monopoly.  American company's is famous to walk over bodies to make a profit. Look at Enron. And look at all American

company's that get ride of they chemicals and toxic waste they dump them in rivers and lake. So people get

deceses. And should i mention the war in Iraq? I bet halliburton love Dick cheney for that invasion . And Dick cheney probably feels pretty good about that war to, after all what difference does 3000 American soldiers life

mean when you can make a profit.

Thats why I refuse to buy a PS3.

Other people let them know it's ok to keep doing what there doing... By buying a PS3. So next time they will do it again.

PS2 anyone?

Least Microsoft is strong enough to take them on. R.I.P. Sega.

People sit there and laugh about hating a company. But in reality, we need our voices to be heard if we are to exact change in the world in which we want to live.

Sony is a poor excuse for a company. And by not supporting them, we all can affect change in them. Even Sony has a chance at redemption. But if we continue to buy their products then the hypocrisy will not be heard, it will not be seen. For us to send Sony a message, we need to stay vigilant and not support them. TV's, mp3 players, Blu-Ray players, PS3's, DVD players, buy nothing from them. And when they see that the consumers aren't buying their crap, only then will they change. When you buy a PS3, or anything from Sony, then noone will know the hypocrisy and deception even exist.

People may laugh, but this is important. In the end, you have people's jobs on the line. And if Sony continues to do what they do, then it will be Sony's employees who feel the pinch.

When is the last time you heard of the CEO of Sony donating billions of his own dollars to fight world hunger and disease? Never, that's when. Even if Microsoft lied in the past at least Bill Gates cares about more than money and is willing to donate a good portion of it to charity. That is why Sony is evil. They would sooner dropship a load of useless UMD movies into Africa then actually spend a cent to help someone.fanboy999
