Sony is the most powerful brand says study

[Shadowblind]

Really, I hated the PS3. Content and all.

Sony is indeed the most powerful. However, with power comes great responsibility....

[ficksucker]

after they phailed to acknowledge the cease and disiste ordered by sony to stop selling PSP's (that had 1.50) , they just ignored it and continued selling them without any regard to their warning

sony then decided to sue them, lik-sang went bankrupt from the court fees alone

Yeah well Lik-Sang was gambling on being able to prove that the cease and dessist order was BS because it wasn't a copyright issue... unfortunateley for them they gambled and lost.

Do you know that about 15 years ago, people were worried that people weren't going to buy things by brand anymore? In fact at a worldwide marketers' convention they were terrified that the prices of products would be determined by real value rather than by "conceptual" value added which basically is a nice way of saying the extra money you can charge that has nothing to do with costs of production but simply because of your brand name.

We've taken a few steps backwards since then. I have nothing against brands but if I had the choice of Nike spending 35 million instead of 70 million on advertising to "inform me" of thier product and I got that money back in cheaper shoes instead, I would definateley perfer that. And yes I do own Nikes.

Still they weren't a major threat were they!?

[Shadowblind]

No. No they weren't. They have much bigger problems to worry about then they're customers ACTUALLY getting what they want. Which is apparently a bad thing.

People are going on about sony firmwares.

If you was a company, and you have spent good money and alot of time on a game, and people are getting the games for free, you wouldnt do anything about it?

To be honest, i think sony havent done anything wrong.

For all the people going
'ZOMG!!11!! PS3 IS SO XPENSIVE'

Looks at it this way, lets look at the rival the XBOX360.

XBOX360 premium pack - £259.99

+

HDDVD drive (sony has nextgen movie format, so this should - £130

+

Wifi adapter (ps3 has wifi) - £54

=

443.99

---

PS3 has all this, and it has a bigger HDD and thats 425?

Not that badly priced when you think of it like that is it?

EDIT -
I forgot, you have to pay for xbox live too, online play is free with playstation

[mastersho]

mmmhh..... Triv1um you make me think. I must go to my Mountain of Solitude to think about how I feel about $ony.......

[emuking]

you all defend sony so much it makes me sad, why do you all deny that the marketing and choices made with the ps3 have been terrible, why do you think people like ken kutaragi and others are backing down from sony, or why the ps3 doesnt even sell well, all of you please face the fact that the ps3 is a failure, hopefully it can still be saved

but the ps3 has sh1t online compared to xbox live which is worth the money and is an actual service, ps3 gets its ass kicked by 360 when it comes to online

but you don't need the hd dvd player, or the wifi, if you don't need them, then it really is a big price difference
