Why does everyone hate Sony?

**kaio393** · April 24th, 2007, 01:39

Everyone is always hating on Sony. No matter what move they make. People adored the PSP before it came out. Sure it's pretty much dying right now. But it's still pretty damn good. I mean what the heck. People ask for new features, Sony comes out with a new firmware so all the hackers hate them. Then people ask for the screen to be better, and for more onboard memory, Sony does so and gets humiliated.
The PS3- everyone LOVED the PS3 before it came out. Then Sony delayed the PS3, and told them it was going to be $600. Now everyone is on Sony's back, trying to take them down. Sure there were shootings over the PS3, but was it their fault?
Sony is a wonderful company that everyone has cherished for almost ever. Ever since I was a kid Sony was just the way to go. Sure they have gone through troubled times over and over (Betamax, etc.), but they always pull through. Just have a little hope.
Sony brings out dozens of movies a year. Most of which are pretty good. Sony comes out with loads of CDs (okay, the little copyright infringement incident doesn't count), you probably listened to them in some way, shape, or form. Their speakers are uber! Their TVs just make anything look beautiful!
So guys. You try to get 158,500 random people you hardly know, and make something better.

To Sony

1. The $ony fan-boy mentality

On 9/9/1999 The Sega Dreamcast was released (the same day FF8 or FF9? was released for playstation) and aside from it's "out of the box" online capabilities and awesome launch games $ony fan-boys still wait a year and a half or more to get their continually delayed PS2 instead of supporting an amazing game system regardless of what company released it.

2. $ony kills Bleem

Originally released for PC emulation the bleem emulates playstation hardware, it is sold in PC stores and Gaming shops across the US (not sure internationally) It existed for around 2 years until...
Sometime around the beginning of 2000 Bleem announces they will be releasing Bleemcast, a set of discs for the Sega Dreamcast to run Playstation games. As a result $ony and their lawyers keep suing Bleem untill they have no more money left for legal fees and die.

3. $ony Kills Lik-Sang

Last year $ony decided that Lik-Sang was in violation of exporting PSP systems to Europe and that was somehow an infringement upon them.
They and their lawyers did the same thing to Lik-Sang and ended what was probably the best international resource for consumers wanting to by Japanese imports throughout the world.

I loved the playstation and my PSP but $ony are way too full of themselves. It's not enough for them that they have tons of money, they want to keep other people from making money too. There was no reason for them to kill Bleem other than wanting to hurt Sega and because of their re-hash release of the Playstation, the PS1. There was also no reason for them to kill Lik-Sang either...they haven't gone after any other importers to my knowledge. I can't speak for everyone but I think you will find most people that "hate" $ony it has very little to do with their products and a lot to do with their corporate politics and ethics (or lack there of)

Well as much as you may hate that Sony killed Bleem, they were breaking the law. As far as I know, Emulators are illegal to sell, as doing such hinders a company's future profits (why buy a PS if you can pay 50 bucks for Bleem and play the games on your computer?)

The third one I'll agree with you on that, I was mighty pissed when Sony did that.

People are playing free ps games on their computer , and have been doing so for years which makes that's last statement irreverent if anything they were helping sony sell more games.
