Am i the only one who finds having an "official" thread a bit pointless?

There are so many different things that you can't just bung them all together. People don't have time to read through every news piece or look through one giant thread to find new news amongst peoples comments. Having them seperate means you can choose which ones you want to read and which ones you don't. It saves you time and informs you on the things you wish to read.

Saying that they should all be together just because your annoyed at how many different news pieces there are seems it is just for personal reasons. There is the old rule that you don't have to click on a thread if you don't want to.

It is like the OSama news. Because it is everywhere i no longer read about it. Every new bit of detail means a new article in a paper or on a website. That is the era we live in. People want to know every little detail.

This is no different. Some might not like the fact that Sony is in the news for various reasons right now but you have the option to not read it if you wish.

 

The same could be said of someone who wants to see countless threads on the same subject if that subject contains something they don't favor. Would you be arguing this if it were about Microsoft? I could make the judgment call that you might not, but it's just as pointless as what you're claiming.

Truth is I do it for anything of excess, be it games, reviews, or info on a specific. A topic like this doesn't need 6-9 different threads, and many (including non-Sony people) agree.

The fact you reacted in that way just proves my point.

If it was Microsoft/Nintendo/My favourite football team/Fav film etc i would say the same thing. Your implying i am a 360 fanboy and is why i said it which is pretty funny. Especially if you review my gamer-tag. For a 360 fanboy i sure do have a lot more PS3 games don't i!! I just love the whole "if you talk negative about something you must be a hater" attitude!

As i pointed out by putting them all in one thread means people have to read that thread constantly to gain any new info. To find that news you have to go through all the comments and various pages to find it. Thats great if you got the time to do that. I doubt many people do though. I am sure the vast majority of people who visit this site skim the various thread titles to see if anything interesting is happening and then vanish again, most likely to a computer game. I imagine very few people use this site to sit down at their pc and read every thread and every comment in them. I bet most read the news piece and then move on. They don't want to read every comment in every thread. Especially when a lot of the time it just turns into some nut hugging contest.

Regardless of the news and regardless of what it is about or the company it is about trying to limit it is wrong. It would not bother me one bit if it turned out Osama was the CEO of Microsoft and there were two billion threads about it. Because as i said before i can choose to read it or not. That is the wonderful thing about freedom.
