Your joke was too heavy handed and you pointed out your own joke (even though nearly everybody who reads Engadget would have gotten it).

Sony have made multiple public relation failures in the past few years which have caused common use of the word 'SonyLOL'.

You have no clue of the use of an elipsis. And you missed a good chance to correctly use a semicolon.

Laugh out aloud, right?

And by the way, attacking someone on the terms of grammar, punctuation or syntax usage is a clear indication the attacker already lost the argument over the main point. But that's not all: you've committed a "self-ownage" by misspelling "ellipsis" -- if you were to attack someone on the ground of punctuation mark misuse, you better make sure you don't commit any mistake yourself.]]>Sep 3rd 2009 11:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/ps3-firmware-3-0-locking-out-knock-off-controllers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/ps3-firmware-3-0-locking-out-knock-off-controllers/Sep 3rd 2009 6:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/ps3-firmware-3-0-locking-out-knock-off-controllers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/ps3-firmware-3-0-locking-out-knock-off-controllers/
Controller with built-in rechargeable batteries? Check.
Controller Charging cable? Check.
Wi-Fi? Check.
Standard HDD? Check.
Blu-Ray? Check.
Free Online Multiplayer? Check.

Only thing I can think of, that they do not include is a mic... but the ability to use any bluetooth headset in itself is enough for me.
Can also browse the web, and plug in pretty much any USB keyboard and Mouse and be able to use it.

Microsoft is still a great company in my opinion, I just like my PS3 better.

Sony milking money? LOL Try Micro$oft milking money making you pay extra for almost everything you will eventually have to buy for their console. Sony has included almost everything you need to get started (if not everything)
