How about games where you level down! What is the point of that?!!! I'm talking to you Square-Enix! I've lost 2 levels in FFXI just because I went exploring a bit. And don't get me started on either Children of Mana or Dawn of Mana. While it may be creative to take levels and powers away after you've earned them... it makes people hate the game. Fire these people!

Well the price is reasonable for a blue ray player on top of the gaming aspect, but it's still way too expensive for the average consumer. However the bottom line is that Sony ISN'T delivering on their promises... and that isn't news. Many of the features first announced for the PS2 never truly became available. And the downward spiral pattern continued with PSP's features lacking. In fact much of the reason PSP is so popular is because of all the illegal roms and isos you can play on the system... and Sony doesn't seem to care that it hurts their software sales. As for PS3 and blue-ray, it's hard not to see blue-ray (or HD) as another failed media format such as mini-disc, dvd albums or Super VHS. Nobody wants to upgrade their formats all the time, they want to build a library of movies and music and games that they like. And being able to get it all very cheap and have it all in one place is the dream. Sony talks a big game, but their biggest flaw is their inability (or unfortuantely... unwillingness) to deliver. And at every turn they shoot themselves in the foot, the latest instance being that European PS3's will not (and may never be) fully backwards compadible.
