Other then my giant f*&cked up statement about PSN, my points still stand.

MS isn't referring to NOW but the future, and I find it funny how a lot of people here seem ...scared??... that digital distribution might be the future and that you're $400-$500 Blu ray machine that plays game might be obsolete before it even becomes maintstream.

No worries though, I probably feel the same if I had been suckered into Sony's promises..

 

I have to say that your dislike of Sony borders on... ludicrous. Sony has stated many times how much it would love to put, for example, PS2 games up as DLC on the PSN someday, but that the costs of doing software emulation of the PS2's GS (the EE is already covered) just aren't worth it at this time. You can believe that when its financially feasible, Sony will do it, just like MS wants to (but hasn't).

The original titles on PSN blow the larger amount of, IMO, lesser quality titles on XBL away, btw. Warhawk (also on BD), Siren: Blood Curse, Super Stardust HD, Pixeljunk Eden, Pixeljunk Monsters, Flow, Blast Factor, echochrome, Elefunk, to name some of the better ones... SOCOM: Confrontation (also on BD) in the near future, etc... You should pick up a PS3 and try some of them. ;)

 

My dislike of Sony is related to a few things

1) Its arrogance at the start of the generation (which has been fixed)

2) Its PR Spins

3) and its Fanboys who believe its PR Spins

 

Not only that but I've already said that I would buy a PS3 when it comes down to $199 (but then that was said when FFXIII was still a PS3 exclusive...)
