Why do you have a goat in your house? More importantly, why would Sony want your goat?

I forgot about this fact. I wanted to point out that PS3 in most of time was more expensive than X360 ("I mean come on you are just including a Blu-Ray player in your system and still charging as much as the XBOX 360 that is outrageous savings right there.")

As much as the PS3 was born as a failure, there's no denying that the device was crucial to the success of the format Bluray - a real paradox.

thank you microsoft (and sega before them) for forcing sony to realize where the game market was heading and offer their loyal fans a network to play online games, albeit four years after Live moved gaming into the modern age and six years after a prescient company, too late to save itself from previous mistakes and costly, innovative ventures, showed them both how to do it.
thank you Nintendo for putting a small, eventually standard joystick on your N64 controllers, and later introducing us to motion gaming with the Wii.
thank you Microsoft for taking that alternative approach to gaming and re-inventing it with full-body motion controls... and while your attempt didn't revolutionize games as we play them, we appreciate the effort to give us something different, novel, and original.
thank you for the hard-drive and achievements.
thank you Nintendo for the handheld systems that moved games from the living room into the car, or the ride to school, or anywhere you wanted to play them.
thank you Microsoft for converging games, music, movies, and entertainment applications into one, unified subscription service that I can enjoy from the comfort of my worn out couch.
and finally, thank you Sony for copying every competitors idea and attempting to improve it.
thank you for giving so much away that you almost went broke.
thank you for being as original as the next guy instructs you to be.

...... Sony and their PS platform have been wildly successful, they deserve the credit due, but in all honesty, apart from their first idea for a CD based game machine (which wasn't really even their idea as long forgotten competitors beat them to market) and the failed partnership with Nintendo that led to the original Playsation, they innovate nothing. they introduce nothing new, they copy.
for all playstation loyalists out there, there's a proven reason people decide to go with the other guy.

You forgot to mention the biggest money hat of all by Sony... "Five hundred ninety nine you-ess dollarz"!

hell i laughed

Just wait till you get to the next Generation

great lol

What's Money Hatting? Is Sony trying to pay for all these features by not allowing developers to own hats? If so, I agree, the hat ban should be lifted. Hats are awesome.

I think there is a difference between money hatting and funding.
