I don't think anyone criticized the PC and free 360 deal. The only deal I remember I blasted was the $99 plus two year contract deal.

These deals are not half bad. I wouldn't do it because I build my PCs, but its not bad for someone who'd buy one retail anyways.

I think Darth has been spending too much time on Kotaku...

Are you stalkin' me???

I generally browse Kotaku (if ever) on my phone as I like their mobile site. Reading comments, I see your username and picture (which is the same on both sites) quite often. You don't really need to 'fight the good fight' here. No regular member cares.

I was actually joking with the stalking thing.  People have recognized my name and pic from neoGAF and Kotaku before.  It's nice to be noticed ... I think ...

Strangely I've started a number of threads here over the years and this one may have gotten the most attention.  Not a good sign ...

Well, this thread certainly does have a very 'baity' title on it.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

I love competition between companies.

That is not a bad Idea from Sony since they been having a bad fiscal year, and lost a lot of money this past year.
Sony is not banking on the PS4 yet, so why not have more PS3 out there.

Lol, the thread title has changed, the former sounded more like a personal grudge and retaliation to those who criticized the 360 deals from god knows how long ago.

Its a nice deal, if I havent had a PS3 and Vaio I wouldve bought one myself.

Unfortunately, Sony laptops are made of squeaky plastic and the Vita has no gamez. No thanks!

The problem with this thread is that you are trying to call out trolls. Do you expect unreasonable people to come out and apologize? Should people make threads a year or so from now rubbing in Vita sales to all of those who trolled that the Vita is dead? No. They probably will but that doesn't mean they should. Despite what you feel your intentions are, the effective consequences of your post is trolling. The concept you are trying to relay has merit, but not in the way you presented it. A discussion over the benefits of these kinds of offers and an acknowledgement of issues previous ones have created would be legitimate.

You don't call out trolls. Especially from a year ago.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

You think the Vita will last a year????

j/k

You're right about the point though that trolls will never apologize for their conduct.  I think the issue people have is when others deny something was ever said, probably because most posters ignore troll posts so really do just not register what others say.  Of course you only tend to notice a troll post that is polar opposite to what you think which probably explains why Sony fans don't see a lot of Microsoft trolling and vice versa (like the Vita and Wii trolling that occurs on here).  I'm glad the thread title got changed though
