The fact that you're quoting it out of context doesn't help.

Sony issues ultimatum to PSN users: don't collectively sue us again or we'll ban you.

That's fucking it, Sony. [permanently disables wireless network on PS3.] Hell, I might even get rid of my PS3 now.

I like it when people use the word "gay" in any context other than a homosexual one - it only proves that they have the maturity of a five year old, as if their obsession with shooters didn't already do a good job of pointing that out. It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms.

But just for fun, let's play around with his logic a bit.

game - gun = gay
game + gun = -gay
game + gun + Arem = ???

I might be jumping to conclusions a bit here, but...

Sony is preparing to ban gamers from the PlayStation Network (PSN) unless they waive the right to collectively sue it over future security breaches.


Does that mean, by proxy, that Sony doesn't actually plan to fix the vulnerabilities that made the PSN hacking possible in the first place, and are instead ensuring they get in less legal trouble for it? Obviously law isn't exactly my strong point, but even to me this sounds mighty suspicious.

I don't think so, I'm sure they did everything they could about the security. But because hackers are a smart bunch, there are no guarantees that it couldn't happen again. People were suing Sony left and right at that time just because the service was down, which is pretty stupid and greedy imho. I see nothing wrong with this, I'm not sure why everyone's going nuts.

Sony is unionizing their PSN users, and saying that if you won't give up your right, you are banned. Basically, they're punishing even the loyal consumer.

And Sony should be sued; they did something incredibly stupid, and people's security was severely hurt...if not destroyed, and they blundered around about it, even lied about it at first. How many credit scores were harmed in this escapade, I wonder...?

Sony is just butthurt that they got spanked, and now they're lashing about like a little tantrum. Hell, if they get hacked again, I'm about to go "You asked for it...again!"

EDIT: In more lulzy news: A Vita battery peripheral will add 6-10 hours of battery life to the system.

What's lulzy? If you do the math from the total battery life this enables the Vita with, you get a grand total of 3-5 hours WITHOUT the peripheral. The 3DS is not even that bad.

I see your point, but would you honestly sue them yourself if it happened again?
Didn't hurt my credit score, I used a debit card. :P


Edit: That's an awesome amount of game time.

Had it been 15-20 without the peripheral, yes. Without it, not so much.

I see no one saw the video I posted, since that was in there. XD

And 6-10 hours of battery life's really weak for a handheld. I got a maximum of about 14 hours out of my DS Lite on a full charge. As if the Vita was any less appealing than it already is, they expect people to actually shell out for some battery extending gizmo. Apparently no one realises that handheld consoles were mainly meant for the road and that should mean maximum battery life on the get-go.

The N3Ds is

3DS charging time: 3 hours 30 minutes
Battery life playing 3DS games: 3-5 hours
Battery life playing DS games: 5-8 hours

If you have the 3D on, it's even less.
At least they're giving the option to extend it.

The same issue is prevalent in smartphones, too. My Samsung Galaxy S II probably lasts about the same length of time, mainly because I tend to browse a particular website through its Android app.

It's stupid, really. If the battery can't handle all the neat doohickeys for a decent amount of time, then really, is there any point?

Considering the things that the Vita can do are about double what the 3DS can (save for 3D), I think the 3DS is a better choice right now. Also, no UMD-like media reading thing is a major turn-off for me. Fuck you, physical games are better.

Physical copies vs Digital copies is a tricky subject
I'd say that implying one is intrinsically better than another is honestly pretty stupid, both have arguable advantages and disadvantages, but not being given a choice is pretty unpleasant

There's fine text about opting out of the PSN thing, where you personally retain your right to lawsuit while still getting the service.

If I had an active account on PSN, I'd do that.

You can't collectively do it, which means if there was another case of gross negligence on their part, you have to tackle the company yourself.
