Free Wi-fi (something the original 360 didn't ship with). Included rechargeable batteries in the controller (no need to spend extra money to purchase your own). Blu-ray. Concerning the article, Sony was the ONLY one to include an Other OS feature to let people play around with Linux using the PS3, without having to hack the console. And everyone was happy til Geohot wanted to make a bigger name for himself by hacking the PS3. He wasn't happy enough working with other hackers/homebrewers building upon PS3 Linux, making it better, faster. He had to have the whole thing. Which would have been fine if he had just kept it to himself or maybe just hacked a few of his friends consoles, instead of trying to get even more recognition fromt the masses. @ OP Glad this was the ruling. |
Hah, I was more than content leaving this topic be. Since people were just reaffirming what I said, including you. That and it's the same old pointless argument that I have heard a couple dozen times "Screw the minority" more or less. But this post was just too funny. "The console that was twice the price of the other consoles at launch had more features, so it's ok if they took some out." Face the facts something that people paid for is gone. It was forcefully taken from them. They were given the choice between playing new games or having their linux. Yes, they were a minority, but they were still paying customers... they were probably the best customers... Geohot had, what, 5 PS3s by the time he finished? Sony ripped people off... the few "geeks" and "nerds" that cared were the ones that had the power to fight back.
And a couple of your facts
"A decent web browser" hahahaahaha xD. I'll write that one off to a joke
"Free wifi" Sony did release PS3s without wifi...
"rechargeable batteries in controllers" Now, correct me if I'm wrong but besides the two controllers that came with my consoles(two different consoles). The three I bought came with rechargeable controllers? Which I promptly threw away... but that's beside the point
