All of this is rumored. People shouldn't get upset about it before knowing what the final product will be. Besides.. Let's face it, the majority of the people on/. getting upset about this are the Sony haters that wouldn't have bought the PS4 even if was priced at $50 with $5 games.
I personally am a fan of Sony, and if this is true then I will be quite upset about it. However, I am reasonable enough to realize that rumors don't count for anything. Sony has been very secretive about the "PS4" so it's hard for me to believe that anyone can say with an level of certainty that any of this is true.
You do have good points there, sir. I suppose that they would be comparable for the average consumer. Though I've had different experience as far as how often I've seen the issues. I actually didn't see a lot of PS2s with problems for years after their launch, but have yet to meet anyone with a 360 that hasn't had a RROD within a year of purchase. Also, your point about the controllers being connected with short cables is interesting. It could probably be argued that a decent amount of PS2 failures was a result of some sort of impact. Which was part of my original point that they generally did not fail on their own through normal use, but because of abuse or accidental abuse.
So to sum it up. Yes, they are probably comparable from an end user perspective, but PS2s didn't generally fail on their own (Which in my opinion, makes them more reliable. Note that is just my opinion). I got my disc read error only after knocking mine off of my stand.
Disclamer: These are my opinions based on my experience. I am not saying that either of us are right or wrong. I just like to have reasonable debates.
The PS2 disc read errors were an easy self fix. The RROD is much more complicated.
Also, as long as you never moved or bumped your PS2, I'm pretty sure you would never get the disc read error since it was caused because the laser would get bumped out of alignment. To my knowledge, there is no real way to prevent RROD. I had my PS2 for at least three years before I got the error, and I haven't had any issues since I fixed it myself. It still runs perfect to this day.
Agreed. I'm tired of this "Sony is evil, I won't buy from them." on every article related to Sony. Even though I'm sure that the same people support other large corporations that are just as bad or maybe even worse.
They misinformed the public about this legislation. How dare they. This is a lovely piece of legislation that will only help legitimate sites such as Wikipedia, and in no way would affect social media sites or anything of the sort.
Oh wait.. That doesn't seem right. I don't think that I believe you Mr. Smith. Google opposing it is "self-serving"? But isn't it self-serving for you to support it?
Whenever they make major changes in the new TOS, they send out an email to all users with a link to review the changes. It's not like you would only notice if you log into PSN, you should receive an email. So as long as you check your email, you should know about any changes and have plenty of time to send in your letter.
I was wondering the same thing. I don't have Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, MySpace, or Google+. I can't think of any others off hand but I'm sure I don't have them either.
I agree. There are a lot of people here making jokes of this, but it is a serious problem and that is a lot of money to help a great cause. I applaud them for that.
Is Sony even relevant? The sales of the PS3 have almost caught up to the Xbox 360, even with being released a year later. Yes, the Playstation Move is really lacking.. But Sony is still a big player in the game.
"Sony only cares about money, they don't care about their customers." - They're a busy, money is #1 in every business that isn't truly non-profit.
Is there any other handheld device that can touch the Vita? No. So customers are going to buy it and Sony knows this. Most people complaining about this are probably the same people that wouldn't have bought the device in the first place.
Nevermind. I took your post too literally and seriously. I don't agree with the parent that the holder of the clipboard will get broken wrists but I think it's very likely that the impact would knock the clipboard out of their hands if they weren't prepared and maybe even if they are.

This is the second article I've seen recently about a product that has been on Thinkgeek.com for a while. First the caffeinated jerky and now this. The one on Thinkgeek seems to be different but the concept is the same, holds papers and stops bullets. It seems the Thinkgeek one doesn't stop.357 and.44 mag though.
I agree that VMWare is better at remotely managing machines, I was just responding with a suggestion to "If you've figured out an easy reliable way to get Hyper V remote management to work do let me know."
Yes, there are more steps involved past downloading and install RSAT but all you have to do is follow simple instructions. Maybe something on your system is different than mine and causing it not to work. But for me, I followed the instructions and haven't had to actually log into the host since. I manage the machines, my co-worker can manage machines at the same time, and I haven't had any issues browsing the server's local filesystem to select stuff.
Not sure on exactly what you are looking for, but you could possibly use Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 7.
I use it to manage the Hyper-V server at my company. You can modify or create VMs, as well as connect to them. I haven't had any issues with it not working. Unless I misunderstood what you meant.
Yes. A lot of people misuse computer terminology, so is it my job to correct them and make them look stupid? No, my job is to be able to understand what they mean and fix their problem without belittling them.
I'm sure there are plenty of fields in which you are not proficient, and I would venture to guess that you don't know all of the proper terminology in those fields. But you may know what term is generally accepted and use it to get your point across to the expert in the field.

Agreed. EVERYTHING in this article is very subject to change. No point in getting upset this early.

Please provide proof of this. I read the terms and I remember no such thing.

I couldn't agree more.
"I'll never buy Sony again." - Okay, don't.
"Sony only cares about money, they don't care about their customers." - They're a busy, money is #1 in every business that isn't truly non-profit.
Is there any other handheld device that can touch the Vita? No. So customers are going to buy it and Sony knows this. Most people complaining about this are probably the same people that wouldn't have bought the device in the first place.
Similar to how they sold the Playstation 3 at a loss and only profited from game sales for the longest time.

I think that he meant "magazines."
A lot of people call them "clips" though and it is fairly commonly understood.
I'm so backlogged on all of the awesome games out and due to come out for the Playstation 3 that I would be fine into 2020 without a new system.
