Sonys Bad Week Continues - Upsetting Game Companies Now

[Edshugeo]

personally i think sony should wise up and do more free demos for download, but make them available without firmware upgrades.

Hold on. You're suggesting that Sony should put some effort into promoting it's game software library, which brings in revenue, instead of firmware updates, which don't?

That's so crazy, it just might work.

Really guys,I think the firmware update crap is mainly to reassure sony's licsensee's that their investments are protected.
Look at the fact that the PS3 is going to support homebrew, PS2 linux and PS3
linux.
I think maybe the reason some companies might be pissed is that they realize that sony is moving in the homebrew direction.
Maybe we're looking at this from the wrong angle and it's the big game companies and not sony that are fighting homebrew so much.
Sony is mainly a hardware compay and has been for a long time.
They just have avoided pissing their licsensee's because they make money from them.
If we look to the future the world is moving on it's own toward the free and open sharing of information!
That doesn't look too promising for companies who make their money on proprietary software.
Why pay for infested software when you can get something comparable or better for free?

oh my god... there are so many ill founded and wrong statements in that, i dont even know where to start!
so i think i will just say:
oh yeah, sure... sony is the victim and hero. well said.

And if Sony doesn't change the PS3 price..

Benn, would mind explaining exactly what in my post is ill founded,just to back your statement up

You just can't say"your wrong" without providing a reason for saying so.
Well maybe you can, but your statement will be baseless!
I never said sony was a victim or a hero, it was more along the lines of:
They want to be prepared for the future which is an open source future.

I'll be more than happy to debate the subject with you
Or anybody else who dissagrees with my hypothesis,in a friendly fact based manner.

Only thing worse than contrivance is consensus.

Me thinks thou dost protest too much. No, you can play stupid all you want, but that doesn't mean that anyone else actually is. Long time lurkers don't just one day decide to start posting and then go on to wrack up 100+ posts in less than a week.

I'm not worried about the apparent hypocrisy of this site. This is Wraggster's site and he can administer it however he wants. What ticks me off is annoying members like yourself who go through the trouble of registering, agreeing to the terms of the site, and then go on to break them (and yes, you did break them -- "NO posts about PSP ISO launchers". You not only talk about the ISO launching version of DevHook, but also how to use it). It's obvious that you're so concerned with hypocrisy because you're so rife with the trait yourself. You really should deal with that, because if you can't handle the apparent hypocrisy that you come up against here, on a little forum site in cyberspace, then the real world has some very harsh lessons waiting for you. Life is nowhere near 100% fair, and it's just sophomoric and immature to try to hold this site up to that very unrealistic and naive ideal.

You act like you're fighting some holy, righteous battle by continually talking about ISOs, but the truth is that you're just another self-involved prick with an over developed sense of self entitlement. There is no good excuse for ISO piracy, and whether or not that's ever a major factor in the ultimate success or failure of the PSP, I fullheartedly support a strict no ISO discussion policy precisely because of members like you. You started out as a pretty cool member, then you started using ISOs (which would've been fine by me if it had stopped there), then you started pirating them, and then talking about it here, and you ended up being a major arse about the entire subject, which just lead to you being a major arse about other, much more sensitive subjects and a very justly earned banning. You've become real annoying very quickly, and if the only thing that the policy is good for is keeping people like you off of the site, I think it's a self-justified policy.

I'm sure some of the staff already know exactly who you are, and I think it's a shame that they're going to wait until you WAY cross the line again to actually get around to banning you again, but I have no doubt that that's exactly what'll end up happening, and knowing the way you can't keep your mouth shut, I'd put good money down on the chance that that's going to be sooner than later.

I will not go into the other particulars of your post. One thing I've learned from this forum is that the logic of pirates is purely self-centered and innately unreasonable, so I'm not going to go into it anymore since I don't enjoy talking to brick walls, or people who display that level of ability to reason. We've all heard all of the arguments on both sides of the discussion and there's nothing new to add to it.

Nope, your arguments are neither new, nor are they, in any way, particularly insightful. All you're arguing is your self proclaimed right to do whatever pleases you and be an arse.
