I am posting this in the Sony forum, because it relates to the Playstation 3, and I keep hearing how this and that will make the difference. Anyhow, I am looking at these as reasons for why maybe the U.S government should buy everyone a PS3:
1. Isn't Microsoft pushing monopoly level, and getting people a rival system to it would help keep Microsoft down, and block it from taking over the world?
2. They are doing "Cash for klunkers". And since the 360 is supposed to RROD so much (http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=82151&page=1 ) that would make the 360 a klunker, right?
3. Forget price cut. You can't beat free, right?
4. The PS3 in every home would accelerate adoption of Blu-Ray and drive people to buy their movies in Blu-Ray format, which would stimulate the economy.
5. People are drawn to buy at least one game for a new system, so you have more sales.
6. The government could make Sony have Home have educational content. They could also have Sony build a virtual government center in Home for U.S citizens. You could then have Townhall meetings without every leaving your living room. Now, we can have Birthers (those who say Obama was not born in the United States) be able to get the entire world to see the truth of how Obama is a secret Muslim bent on destroying America from within. (Please note the view of the Birthers don't represent my own views).
7. This is the next step for getting casual gamers to "become real" and go HARD CORE with pad controllers, and retire their waggle (and Wii controllers).
8. It would make the PS3 the development platform of choice, as it is supposed to be, right?
9. The benefits of PS3 market penetration would exceed the ranting by XBox fanboys saying Sony needed a bailout.
10. VGChartz would end up being overrun by Sony fans, who would shout out any criticisms of Sony. There will also be a glut of Sackboy avatars. You can't have too much Sackboys.
So, there you go, 10 reasons why. Please show your support of this idea by posting yes!
