Sony is horrible. What's not to hate?

#24 is an idiot... It's not about being poor dumbass, if you would only use your brain, paying that much for a toy like the PS3 isn't so intriguing to me. You could build a PC that would be 10 times better for that price. The PS3 is a waste of money, and in the end, the only ones laughing are the Sony execs sipping the vintage wine, that they purchased with your chump change, on their "Playstation 3" (in Spider-Man font) yacht.

Wishful thinking at best #15. It wouldn't matter if the moon crashed into the Earth; Microsoft and Windows would still be here. There is no such thing as a "downfall" of Windows. Supposebly there has already been millions of things that resorted to the downfall of Windows, yet nothing ever seems to change. Funny...

Dell is bad, you can't dispute that. This coming from a guy that has too much history with their hardware. My desktop at work is a Dell, the widescreen monitor I have at home is a Dell, my wife's home computer is a Dell, and my personal laptop is a Dell. This doesn't include the numerous Dell machines I've worked on in previous jobs. All I can say is, Dell is good for some things, but when it comes down to their desktops, I would never shell out a single dime for one. Granted, the Dells we have at my job are pretty solid, 64-bit dual core, full metal casing, super quiet. Those are top of the line, you get what you pay for. But their low end line of PCs is complete garbage. Nothing but issues with those things. I couldn't count the number of times a hard drive died for no reason, or a pin inside popped or broke off, or the IDE bus fried, or a memory slot sparked rendering the slot useless, I could go on and on. I typically don't deal with tech support, but the network admin at the company I work for does and he has nothing but bad things to say about that. Apple on the other hand is a completely different story. I have used Apple machines in the past and I personally can't stand them. This of course is because Apple computers are not made for developers. I don't care what you have to say, it's just not. Sure it's big with graphic artists, but to say you would buy an Apple mainly for Photoshop is probably the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Apple has it in the bag, they have their user base and they can charge "Apple fans" an arm and a leg for pretty much anything. The same monitor you can buy from Dell for $2000, the Apple equivalent would cost #3000. Apple computers to me are a novelty, people just buy them to "be different" and "hip and trendy". When you really look close at an Apple computer, it's nothing more than a pretty casing for a machine that's just "OK". If the form factor is important to you, go with an Apple. I personally don't have a computer desk in my living room, that's for the TV and couch. I'm content with locking my PC away in my office, it's where I go to develop and tinker. Ironically, the custom PC I built looks and performs a thousand times better than any Apple ever would, yet it cost me about half of what an equivalent Apple machine would have cost.

I've been with Sprint, Verizon and Cingular and I have never in my life had a dropped call, outside of driving in a tunnel or maybe driving through a wooded area. I don't get it when people say anything about dropped calls. If you are not in a good location, you misuse your phone, or your phone sucks to begin with, nothing will get through; that's just common knowledge people. Try something new for a comment next time.

I like how Apple always quietly tries to update something, as if by trying to pretend as if nothing was ever wrong with their "perfect" products. How lame, just admit your faults Apple.

#25, I second that... Its people like #23 that keep the industry at a standstill; a heaping pile of swirly fecal matter. I'm sorry, but better graphics for sequels to older games just doesn't cut it, yet it's Sony's primary approach in the market. With Sony you have no innovation whatsoever. If there had been no Nintendo, Sega, or Xbox for that matter, Sony wouldn't know what to do next. The creative geniuses at Sony tried their hand at redesign by introducing the original boomerang concept controller for the PS3 last year. Now we're back to the incredibly uncomfortable dual shock of the past. Sure it?s easier to handle than the old Xbox game pad, but that?s not saying much. The controller does look cheap as hell; I swear I've seen a picture of that online made by some 8 year old kid who spray-painted his old dual-shock game pad with silver paint. Even the console isn't nearly as unique or sleek as the Wii or the 360. If you spend anywhere near $600 for this piece of crap, you should be clinically examined, seriously. Bottom line is, Sony doesn't know the first thing about the "real" gaming industry, all they want is other venues of introducing their proprietary media, UMD, Memory Stick Duo (not to mention Memory Stick), Blu-ray, to the market. They know the sheep they've gathered with their pathetic little devices, it's time to sell some Sony media. If gaming was as big in 1975 as it is these days, Sony would have been selling Betamax-based "Betagame" tapes on their "Betagamestation". Bottom line, the Sony gaming division is a front. If it was all about gaming for them, they would simply stick to gaming and not make the Playstation out to be some ?super? (used very loosely) media device that can play everything from movies to your mother. Sony seriously needs to give up the damn movie-playing, entertainment bull, and just focus on the games. But knowing Sony, they wouldn?t do that, because it?s not what they are after.
