Microsoft lost another war against Sony after HD DVD fiasco

[papamudd]

A quick couple thoughts/points on this discussion...
1. It is a legitimate question, and as i have seen other users post with a similar concern, but most of which may be sony fans.. But that is a moot point, As i myself was interested in nextX since a lot of ppl seem to like it. So it is fair concern for any potential customer.
2. Replies seem to be riddled with uppity x-defenders for no other reason than to bash the competition... The question was about ms not sony, although comparisons are useful for constructive conversations it doesnt look like most are using it that way...
3. Linux removal was because of geohot and similar users abusing that feature, and is why there are still a plethora of cfw available for the ps3. If it werent for the Initial abusers of this feature that enabled the ability for pirating games and hacking games it wouldn't have been removed.
4. Users WERE PROMPTED and told that the other OS feature was being removed. I remember this clearly as that was at a point i still actually read the fine print before installing updates.

(opinion) i.ve never really trusted ms and think the only innovations they brought was how to charge people for stuff that isnt neccessary.. Having only played x3 a few times, and some research on xbl, i dont see any recognizable differences between online play. Heck i even used xb connenct to play online with original xbox. More to the point can one realky trust Ms after all this? I for one think not really, but much like sony they may now be in a better position to earn that trust... Sony learned that early current gen and with the anon attack. There was a big difference between how each adressed the audience @ last years e3 ms acted like it was our priveledge to use their products while sony was apologetic and acted like it was their priveledge to have us as consumers. Which i don't think ms has learned yet at all...
