I spent 700 dollars on my PS3. All I got was a Talladega Nights blu-ray dvd. Now, if I would spend only 600, I would get 5 free blu-ray dvds, an 80 gb HD, and Motorstorm.
[QUOTE="Gzus666"][QUOTE="Franchise2k6"]SURE... especially if Sony copied ideas from Microsoft and Nintendo such as Xbox Live and the Controller etc.GIJames248
actually Sony had the patent on that motion sense before Nintendo did. and XBL copied it from computer games. BAM
I don't read old patents so I don't know anything about the Nintendo-Sony controller thing, just that Nintendo made it work and successfully integrated it into software and public image. But saying MS copied computer online for Xbox Live is wrong and irrelevant. First, it doesn't matter if MS copied it or not, we are discussing whether Sony copied Live. You are just trying to shift the focus of the arguement to avoid saying Sony copied Live. Second, if anything the original PS2 online was more similiar to PC online because it was a free-for-all and didn't have a unified architecture like Xbox Live. I'm not saying I agree or don't agree with Home or Xbox Live, just that Sony hasn't been the most original of companies this generation and only fanboys would deny it. Sony has been as original as every other corperation. That includes Microsoft, IBM, Nintendo, AMD, News Corp, and so on. It is a common practice for rival companies to take features from each other. It is healthy as it allows for each respective product to have more features for the end user. The bottom line is that once a company reaches a certain point they piss some people off.
For anyone to bicker on about someone copying another is sort of ignorant. I am not targetting you here. If your logic is to be taken literally, however, using the DVD/CD in a console is copying Sony (who started using discs in the PS1, Nintendo said it was stupid to use discs) and blaming ADIDAS making shoes that are white like a pair of Nikes.
It is absolutely, positively absurd to fight over the supremacy of a console. It is fine to have a liking toward your console of choice than the others, however when you lose sleep and really get personal about it, it gets annoying. Buy the console you like and enjoy playing it.
We won't be paying for in game items like televisions with real money. If there will be any payment, it will be with free virtual money. The stuff being paid for is the content like games, movies, tv shows, and so on.
[QUOTE="lennygundam14"]of course they can copy it if they wanna get sued :PKrigon
Sued by whom? Everyone copies everyone in this world. Originality is dead :(“Originality is the fine art of remembering what you hear but forgetting where you heard it.”
The 360 being almost all shooters (all the exclusives, generally) turns me off from ever buying that system. I think Sony is doing right here by setting up a variety of things one could do with the PS3.
