Sony . why are you ridiculous ?

TL;DR - scroll down .

many of the recent actions they've been taking are ridiculous . i can understand them wanting to sue the devs. that hacked their console but honestly , to go as far as to find all the ip. addresses of those on youtube and twitter?
what's the point of that ? what will you gain ? it's not as if when these devs. choose to hack your console that they plan to have negative intentions [as in to play illegal games and to stop buying legit games] . their whole plan is to just expand the versatility of your console to see how much more you can do with it . with you being limited , you aren't giving other chances to try their own games , or to develop games that people themselves have made . not just that , but apps, programs, software for the PS3, why not just give people their own chance to see what they can develop with the technology provided in the PS3?

are you that insecure ? are you afraid the PS3 will end up just like the xbox 360 or PSP ? what , if M$ can just ban those who try playing online , then why can't you do that ? oh wait , i know why , you won't have an income of money anymore . okay , so what if people won't have free online , then just charge em' , you know you have dedicated customers no ? or unless , you aren't confident about that ? you say you have customers , but how many are really dedicated to the console itself? i have a lot of friends who own a PS3, but many of them just say "PS3 is better because it has blu-ray . xbox doesn't have blu-ray. not just that , we have free online over here at PS3." . i find that a valid argument . i don't see anything wrong , because all they're doing is stating the differences between the console . they aren't necessarily valid for an argument or needed , but they're enough to say "oh great , i can just get this , and save more money every year instead of getting an xbox."

my friends probably aren't even up to date with gaming news . all they do is play CoD all day . i've moved on from console gaming . my Wii gives me something that isn't on any console : exclusives . think about it , are there any games that are on Wii AND PS3/xbox 360/PC ? not very many are there ... but you can get most games for PS3 on xbox or PC . i like my Wii , none of my friends pay much attention to it . they don't appreciate games on it , but i do . the games give me something new , something that's not CoD, something that isn't just killing . PS3 and xbox have their share of exclusives . there's no point in arguing in which is the better console anymore , they're equally the same . it's your share of games , and how dedicated you are on your investments . are you willing to pay every year just to play online? do you care much about the exclusives , or are you an all round gamer?

/rant end .

TL;DR - Sony is an annoyance with the actions they're choosing . the decisions made recently are poor .
the xbox 360 and PS3 wars are simply pointless . they're equal consoles that provide their own ups and downs .
the Wii is a great system . i find that Nintendo is a great company , and the developers are given a more "fun environment" to design games .

Comments

I'm not really sure if it's a "PS3 and 360" war. Now that both have launched their motion-based devices, it's between all three.

I'm sure everyone likes to hate Sony now with their big hacking crackdown but they're really just trying to protect their interests to their last breath.
 
Just from reading the the title, and some of the first paragraph:

Sony is being completely ridiculous. I mean, it sucks that their big "unhackable system" got completely owned, but I doubt that many people actually hacked their PS3s. It's pretty close to the end of the generation, and they should have just let it go. By them trying to sue everyone is just making me lose respect for them. Nintendo got screwed over way worse with the Wii, but they didn't do anything about it, because they were smart enough to realize they couldn't do anything.
 
the PS3 and 360 wars i am talking about aren't necessarily about the motion controls . it's more on how people compare the two and always say which one is greater and better . it's especially a piss off in school where all you hear in the halls "the PS3 is better" or "the 360 is better" . i've been tired of hearing the most stupidest reasons ever . i am sure you know what i am talking about . it's overused now , and i ranted about it in my blog .

the Wii is something I appreciate . it has free online, and not all of it's games are based on motion . so i wouldn't compare the controls but more on the games that are released on this console .

call me a hater , i am one now . just the recent actions towards Youtube and others are a pain to even read about . even so before , i thought it was a little overboard , but to a normal user that just plays games , this won't apply to them anyway . i've been into the game hacking scene for almost 3 years . so i've read about lawsuits on devs. but even to the extent of civies. who just watch videos ...?
 
I don't think yf you guys share the same opinion of mine but i think sony doing this kind of think of tracing some randon guy only cause he see some video on you tube is ILLEGAL too cause man even in the internet you have privacy rights and you can see what you want even on pc or a console are they totaly crazy about this?


oh by the way i totaly understand sony cause it's been like 20yrs now on nintendo's shadow and man you have to pay the bill's you know but they are out of control now
 
i don't want you guys to just agree with my opinion anyway . i know there are some that disagree and think that Sony is doing the right thing . there's nothing wrong, it's just an opinion . if i gave it some more thought , it's just an act of defense . though just going straight to the source of the problem [Geohot and such] will be good enough for you Sony . at the same time , i feel as if they deserve it , boasting that their console is unhackable . or at least before it was ...

i await the day the Mac isn't going to be praised so much as well . it's all a trend, having an iPod just because other people have iPods . though this is speaking for very little of the people that have iPods . i know there are others that like their iPods , so no problem in that . i dislike the fact that everyone just says "oh is that your iPod?" and if you bring something else that isn't an iPod, they'll be like "what the hell is that?" then they compare it to an iPod and say "oh must be an iPod clone". but at least if you had something else , you'll have a sense of uniqueness knowing that little to no people will have what you have . [ie. a Cowon J3/S9 etc.]
 
As a PS3 user, playing games online has become unbearable. It's not that I hate "hackers" but please stay off publc games!

Little FYI, Sony's not a video game company. It has a video game division but they sell TVs and phones and stuff. And they kinda beat Nintendo the last two gens with the PS1 and PS2. By a lot. Sales wise, of course.

But it's pretty silly to upload anything relating yourself to doing an illegal action. Remember kongnutz or whatever his name was? Got himself a nice lawsuit slapped on him for giving evidence that he was the NSMB Wii dumper. If I uploaded a video to the internet about me doing something illegal then it's just as incriminating.

I think the main problem with the internet is that it's too private. I mean I enjoy my privacy when I'm "obtaining" games and the like, but people far too often find they can do or say anything on the internet because they have anonymity. Although I think people deserve their privacy rights, it's just not a smart thing to upload anything incriminating to your Youtube account.

No, I like to hate Sony because what they're doing is wrong. I don't care if the lock hackers out of PSN, as this is their job. I don't play with cheaters, and I report anyone online that cheats. However, they are throwing more money than you or I will likely ever make in out lifetimes at just one hacker. Now, take this figure and multiply it by how many people they're going after now. I bet they could release a new console with this money. Not develop, but release. I have no problem with killing off the pirates, but just going after everyone who made the PS3 look like a child's attempt at security instead of FIXING IT is wrong, and is just going to drive people away.
 
makes sense . the internet gives the anonymity of freedom , yet there are those who choose to use it in a way that's not necessary . though it is their decision , they aren't thinking of it in a smart way . probably just want publicity or proof , but at times , just don't choose to do such things .

imagine a PS4 . . . wasn't Sony's PS3 firmware based on hardware wise ? can't they simply just release an update to patch all of this up :\ ? or is it because since it is hardware based , and they rooted it , hackers can simply hack it again ?
 
[quote name='SmokeFox' post='3447636' date='Feb 9 2011, 09:39 AM']Thats the reason that Sony has so many money, because they are bad.[/quote]

[sarcasm]Yes. Making money is bad. And being bad gets you money.[/sarcasm]

Anyway, on the topic at hand, it's their choice. They still need money and want money. If they aren't making money, the entire company would be useless. It may not matter to us, but it matters to them apparently and it's their choice as the company. Just leave them be.

Another thing, console wars are pointless. The 360, PS3 and Wii are all good consoles and at times they differ in exclusives and genres of games. It doesn't matter if other people like what you're playing, as long as you enjoy what you're playing. If a guy likes playing Halo on his 360, then it's his choice because that's what he likes. Same goes for the guy playing blu-ray disks on his PS3 or playing Wii Sports. I've said this tons of times before, people differ in taste. If people like CoD, then they like CoD. If you like something else, then that's your opinion.
 
great , looks like the world just isn't ridiculous anymore .
if only people thought this way rather than just thinking "oh this is bad , that's bad etc."
+1 to that .

Isn't that the point of the internet? Anonymity is the greatest freedom one could ask for. By asking for IPs, Sony are not only violating the privacy agreements of YouTube and Twitter, but the principles of the entire Net. Remember:

We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not Forgive.
We do not Forget.
