| Lauster said: The Great Sony Hack : Not an anti-consumer move by Sony (but a lack of security on their part to not hash or crypt a password nonetheless), I think they would have liked to do without it. Futhermore, Sony offered games after this. |
It was Anti-Consumer.
It was 100% Sony's fault that they were compromised. Consumers personal details were leaked. That is 100% on Sony.
| Lauster said: Removal of BC : Always sad to loose features, but BC is very dispensable and allowed in this case to lower the price of the PS3. Thus it's pros for consumer. |
Or. Sony could have kept a higher priced tiered console that retained the functionality at a hardware level.
Or. They could have actually made a decent software-based backwards compatability approach.
Excuses aren't a solution.
| Lauster said: Removal of Linux : Thanks Geohot for this... but maybe he has rushed a removal that would have be done later in any case. |
No. You can't blame Geohot. It was Sony's decision. It was removed by Sony's hand. Don't make excuses for Sony, that's not okay.
| Lauster said: For the propriety formats, so true ! If only they had remained with the memory stick, but no, they thought that ps vita card would be a good idea v_v |
Propriety formats/standards have always driven me batty... Go back a decade and every single Mobile/Cell phone had a different bloody charge cable! Living in the era of USB has been great.
