They plan to convince people who didn't buy yet a PS3. The PS3 is quite new in Europe...
They just launched a product quite similar (in appearance) but cheaper. People when they buy a console look for:
Specs - not the useful specs but the things they can understand - like does it have HDMI
Games they like (in my case like many other people I will buy a console almost only to play Final Fantasy)
Friends who have the same console to swap games or in some case so they can exchange their console with their friends and play games on both consoles...
Gagets stuff that they almost never use, like DVD or blue ray capabilities, because alot of them are not really uber geeks and do NOT have a PC fitted with blue ray and/or HD DVD.
A new one is online gaming capabilities... in this case PS3 online is alit bit inferior but it is free ! IMHO it should be free, MS should not charge to use it but charge only on companies using the Live! system...
I understand your point, most people do not notice it right away but you have a feeling if you get used to it and listen to another source audio that the audio quality went down...
It takes a while to get used to it but once you get used to it, you will really notice a difference... like the sound seeming somewhat bland on your older system.
Note that in both cases we're not talking about some Anonymous Coward with a Hotmail address or MySpace page, but about someone who's known and easy to check. We're not talking "Moraelin for president" or "NightElf12345@hotmail.com offers you free financial advice", but someone who's well known, and whose credentials and opinions are known, public and damn easy to check. So how about doing just that?
Yeah/agree...
ahum..."NightElf12345@hotmail.com offers you free financial advice"... reminds me something
Oh shite... I need to call my bank to block electronic payments !
he is campaigning so it could be seen as very negative
he modified a picture from his OWN website, it would be something very easy to explain
the candidate was stealing bandwidth from his website and not respecting the copyright, although he can always blame the website designers he hired for the blog
No you see, in my mind it is the other way around, I have never seen a dolphin or my cat:
- care if the thing I gave him to eat are vegetarian
- protest in the street against the use of other animals
- complained about the piece of fur it uses as a bed...
Well it's true for almost anything nowadays, alot of the margins you pay for anything are spent on marketing, and I am not only speaking about expensive stuff, even in your supermarket it is already the case...
Yeah it was more as a philosophical point of view that I pointed him to the Drake equation, it has no real scientific basis and when you look at it, it seems more written by some idealistic poet with alit bit of maths knowledge than a physician/mathematician...
I find it quite interesting to look at it though...
Reverse psychology on Slashdot has a bias toward negative: it goes double reverse when people would think that you are trying to use reverse psychology to your benefit !

Yeah we better get to using rocks and making noises so anything would seem better in comparison.

I find this very ironics that /.-ers are criticizing a website for increasing the traffic of another one after linking to it ..
GENIUSES says I!
I can't comment for the two first points but I wholeheartly agree with you on the third point
Could a similar event lead to a virgin giving birth? News of such an event could be of Biblical proportions.
*no pun intended*
