Sony has hit a new low

[Shlong]

My Xbox360 locks up all the time (especially in Gears of War) and I know at least 5 people that got the red ring of death... I think I'm gonna get red ring of death soon too because my 360 is locking up more frequently these days. But it's not like the 360 is free of problems.

You must live in a small town? I live in Atlanta & every single store I went to are empty on both the PS3 & Wii.

yeah seriously, i grew so tired of all these "i saw _ boxes on the shelves" reports i stopped responding to it. ps3 and wii equally sell out in matter of hours everywhere around nyc for the last month (including the official stores that get daily shipments).

i guess these people live in ghettos or something.

Unfortunately, they're not really in a coffin.

Think of the nails as more like nails through Jesus' hands. He just keeps taking them, and he really doesn't do much of good for anyone.

You got issues if you are comparing Sony to Jesus.

A Sony rep has claimed to Destructoid that demo PS3 units in kiosks across the country were built to freeze up on purpose. From the article: "We do that so that people won't play it all day long," he explained. "Specifically during Motorstorm, we made it freeze up a lot.

I wonder how somebody like that gets out of bed, looks in the mirror, and can think they are doing a good job when they spew such obvious crap.

if you put your computer and leave it on all day in a small acrylic box, your computer will crash too.

Bingo!

I went to Circuit City the other day and ran into the PS3. I figured it'd give it a try but the damn thing was locked up so I went one kiosk over and played the 360 instead.

So why not game on a freaking computer.

Why don't they just use PS3 controllers for computers... You could get a hell of a lot better gaming experience like that.

I do game on my PC. Why would I want a POS3 controller? My Logitech RumblePad II has the same layout and has force-feedback. The last 3 console I bought were the PS2, GC and the Wii. Only for their proprietary games. If a game comes out that is on the PC as well as any console, IMO, the PC trumps all. I even play FF VII on the PC over the PS1 or 2. The xbox never had any games that interested me at all and the POS3 just aint worth it IMO. The Wii on the other hand is fun even if its not state of the art. Having a blast with the sports games. But would I play COD3 on it? Hell no! I'll wait for the PC version. Gears of War for the xbox 360? Coming to a PC near you!

I have a Logitech RumblePad II as well - it's actually better than the PS2 controller and has the same layout. As for Sony hating... let me put it this way, with 3 examples:

Sony Trinitron #1: DEAD 2 months out of warranty
Sony Trinitron #2: DEAD 1 month out of warranty
Sony CDRW drive: DEAD 1 week out of warranty

Samsung 15" LCD: Manufactured Nov. 2001, still going strong despite heavy usage
Samsung 17" LCD: Manufactured May 2001, still going strong despite heavy usage
Samsung CDRW drive: Manufactured June 2002, still going strong

In my personal experience, every Sony product I've bought since around 1999-2000 has failed on me shortly after warranty. Every Samsung product I've bought is still working. Now this is not reflective of everyone's situation, but in my case I'm done with Sony until they give me a reason to buy them over Samsung/etc.

Edit: Yes, in the 90's I was a Sony fanboy. Now as a college student I'm a fan of price/perf rather than brand loyalty.

That's why the demo for Resistance at my Wal-Mart keeps freezing at the exact, same, spot.
