Ok this report lost any credibility after this paragraph:
"Presenter Iain Lee is no stranger to the videogame business, having fronted corporate events for the likes of Capcom and Microsoft. He has also been employed on a freelance basis by Microsoft, according to his work for MSN's Tech and Gadget site."
How can you put forth a good case, that people will believe, if you're getting freaking payed by the competition. Funny time for this to come out, isn't it? MS is getting crushed by the PS3 for 2 weeks, probably for the whole holiday season. And within a few weeks, two independant gaming sites have published polls of thousands of gamers to find that 360's failure rate is above 50%, not all of these failures covered by the 3 yr. warranty. GameInformer - 54%, IGN - 58%. I would think the best way to get peoples' minds off of these facts are to point fingers at the competition and say they have problems, too. And let's not forget that MS didn't extend their warranty out of loyalty or love for their costumers, but to get heat off of them brought on by a string of lawsuits because of RROD.
For those who think this will greatly affect PS3 sales in UK, dream on. I doubt UK is dumb enough to fall for this. Nor do I think they have such a short term memory to forget RROD. |
I couldn't really understand your point, but let me try and see if I am correct here. Basically your saying that Microsoft now controls what goes on the air at the BBC? They decided to try and cause Sony problems because they themselves had problems with the RROD and no one that is a former employee at M$ can be unbiased or trusted? LOL you probably should take your fanboy hat off for a few hours.
Microsoft had nothing to do with this article, they were actually on the same show at one point in time because the RROD.
Some of the fanboys should realise this is actually a good thing for the consumer. If there is a serious problem shows like this can put pressure on big corparations so eventually you may end up getting the repair done free, or an extended warranty. Microsoft had to fix their problems and if Sony knows there are problems with their unit, they should have to fix theirs as well.

How is it a good thing for the consumer?. The watchdog report was a puff peace with very little credibility. Showing that 0.5% of PS3's fail but of course they used the number 12,500 instead.
