So I don’t rant alot about Playstation, mainly because it’s a pretty solid company that doesn’t screw me over. But it seems that people on the forums just love kissing Sony’s ass.  Now this might be alright if you know what the hell you are talking about, but if you are a dumbfuck you should shut up. Below are some examples of conversations I had on the Playstation forums.

TOPIC: PS3 Price Needs To Drop // I agree
Some guy: People don’t want the price of the PS3 to go down, it’s fine the way it is
Me: The sales of the PS3 would increase after a price drop, the PS3 was a great value at first because it was cheaper than a Bluray player. However, for the price of a PS3 now, I can buy an Xbox 360 and a Bluray player. I understand that the amount that Sony makes on ever PS3 would drop, but they would later make up for it by selling more games, and more accessories.

TOPIC: What the PSP2 needs
Some guy: The PSP2 needs to have PS3 quality graphics, it needs to get rid of a physical disc drive and it would be replaced with downloable only games. It should also have a touch screen, The PSP2 does not need Bluetooth or Wireless G/N, B is perfectly fine.
Me: You guys are demanding way too much from the PSP2. It is not going to have PS3 quality graphics. Downloadble only games would  make the PSP2 a bad choice for kids who do not have a credit card, or those people who are too paranoid to use one online. The PSP2 does not need a touch screen, it would not improve gameplay at all and the last thing I would want is there to be greasy fingerprints all over my wonderful screen. The PSP only has wireless B. The range on it is terrible and it would be nice to have at least G. Even though PSP games do not require more than the B bandwidth limit, it would be a great thing to have for future use.

TOPIC: Gran Turismo 5 should not have damage
Some guy: I would hate it see my brand new Ford GT being smashed up by someone who doesn’t know how to drive (are you talking about yourself?) or by some AI. Did you ever play GRID? It was impossible to finish a race without damage.
Me: You are missing the point the Gran Turismo is the ‘real’ racing simulator, and it should be the most realistic one out there. Why should other games like Forza have damage but not Grand Turismo? I would agree with you that a damage system would make the game harder, but remember that in Grand Turismo we have pit stops, so you won’t be throwing your controller at the screen after your car dying in a 2 hour race.

TOPIC: Metal Gear Solid Touch
Me: Metal Gear Solid Touch looks like a terrible game.
Some guy: How do you know that if you have never played it?
Me: After playing games for most of my life, I know what I would enjoy from a game. After looking at Metal Gear Solid Touch, I put it under the railshooter genre and thought that I could play the exact same game, for free and win an iPod on a Myspace ad.
