We as gamers provide Sony with money. Without us they would have failed miserably and pulled out of the console market-place. We made Sony succesful as a games company, so why the hell are we ripped off. I am not talking about cotrollers, £19.99 sits fine with me, the memory card is good value and I can even stand the MultiTap price.
So what am I complaining about? The "entertainment system" and the future of it as the Sony Big-Wigs are talking about.
Sony Bigwig : "Online gaming blah, blah, future etc, £200 for a Hard Drive"
Me : "What the hell? £200, you're having a laugh after I shelled out £300 for your console!"
Sony Bigwig : "Oh and £35 for a modem, plus a connection fee or monthly line rental if you want broadband"
Me : Dazed
Sony Bigwig : "Oh and due to the Internet sites being different shapes to your current TV you will also need a Sony screen"
Me : "Right, pass me my gun"
And you get my point.
How could you possibly do that? Out of principle I would be physically sick if I had to tell my customers that they needed to pay that much just to keep their PS2 at the forefront of gaming, for Gods sake I like Consoles over PCs because once you buy it that is it, no extras just games.
Its really a complete money grabbing scheme and frankly it disgusts me. The little kids who persuaded their hard up parents to buy a PS2 for them will now have to grovel for yet more things and the parents will be faced with crying children or a hole the size of the Grand Canyon in their wallets.
This is not right, in fact it sucks, and what are we getting for our cash eh? Not much by the looks of it, wow you can play against other people over the Internet-"But I have real friends Mr Sony Sir". Complete tripe all of it.
Money grabbing gits deserve a buring down of Sony HQ with all those fat businessmen in their armani suits smoking Cuban Cigars using a £50 note as a light.
I really despise this blatant rip-off disguised as a revelation in console gaming, Pah!
You know where you can stick your revelation Mr Sony!
