This has to be satire.

I'll sue Sony because they show all those games on ads and don't say i need to buy to play.

Damn! Sony IS in trouble.

Seems fair enough. No excuse for lying to sell a product.

Like family sharing, kinect essencial to the system, KZ:SF exclusive to x1, so many games that maybe some will have to be pushed back + monthly spins? Yes seems like a bad thing to make so much unfufilled promises to sell consoles. But if you preffer to call that lying I won't oppose you.

except, just like dlna or standby, they were never used in actual ads. There is a difference.

You said lie not incorrect or misleading ad.

And I'm certain when they dekinected X1 they showed an ad with it but the price of without it and weren't clear.

An E3 public speech and all the articles based on it, plus all PR stunt is as much advertisement as paid ad on tvtvtvtv don't you think?

what about ads that show fottage of a different system but is labeled as coming to one platform and failing to mention others? If you say omission is good and lying on every format that isn't a paid ad is no concern then ok you can just fit all conditions to say only Sony have done a mistake. And about social media what would you say about all the paid opinion pieces and articles or About MS employees that hype the system without mentioning they work for the maker?

Strange to single out PSV. I can think of other broken promises.

well that took a little longer than I expected. Cant you just accept it without pointing the finger elsewhere? That's what happens in the playground.

And comparing a concept announcement with an actual ad and shills astroturfing is very weak indeed.

C'mon, they over-promised with Kinect and didn't deliver and they're doing the same with Kinect 2.

And please don't put words in my mouth, point out the part that I said Vita did nothing wrong........

I've seen plenty of gaming companies (hardware and software) not give us what they promised over the years. Maybe pointing out something on a MS console was a bad idea but Kinect it the most obvious recent one to not give us what they promised. I just found it strange and inconsistent to pull up the PSV while a lot of others go unpunished.

If it's the start of a crackdown on gaming companies then I welcome it.

Not a feature (cross play) that I cared about but I will take the credit for a few vita games :) I am astonished at the reasons people find to sue.

Anyway this brings up a bigger issue. Can we sue for things like Halo MCC and Driveclub. Or how about for unfinished games like Unity. While I think Sony should practice truth in advertising, there are some real offenders that are far more worthy of being sued... for actual broken games.

Yes, they are. They'll have to give me all games free of charge. Will also sue all other that do ad without msrp and don't say I have to pay for it to have.

And is there any game that is a direct port that have crosssave/play available?

and still you refuse to differentiate between an ad and a reveal of a concept... fine. I'll leave it at that.

We get the difference. On ad you overhype a product and on reveal of concept you show what you will deliver.

Have forza allowed people to simulate a pit stop as show in the TV ad or scan your skate and play with it in any skating game or use a rl pistol to play cod?
