Forgive me, could you remind me what playstation anti-consumer 'things' you're talking about?

Off the top of my head, Rootkit DRM, Removal of Other OS feature from PS3, the whole security breach thing  on the PS3 that they waited week(s?) to tell anyone about. You cant be that old or that ignorant of the news not to see the things both these clowns(MS/Sony) have been/are doing for years. Theres more but Im leaving work and dont feel like researching atm. Sony is no different than MS. Both would drag your mother into the streets and beat her until she had detached retinas for a few bucks if they could legally do it.

I forgot about the otherOS removal. Ok, I would say that was shady...
But....rootkit was sony BMG...not playstation
And the security breach where a hacker group decided to specifically target them quote/unquote "for the lulz".... that's a bit unfair to use that as an example of playstation being anti-consumer

Compare this to a new policy that basically says "you can't sell your used games anymore unless you pay us".

I know there are anti-consumer things SONY has done. But Sony is huge. Blaming xbox for windows:me being shit wouldn't be fair either. It's not the same division. I'm specifically asking about playstation, because my point was that people assume the best for Playstation because of its history. I dunno why you're dragging all of Sony into it. Especially a rootkit thing that happened nearly 15 years ago.
