> I had a playstation for a year. It was appalling.
You didn't like it but ir wasn't appauling.
When will people stop saying something is utter ballax just because they don't like it? Its a problem on here because as soon as someone takes a dislike to something it suddenly becomes the worst creation in the world.
There is a MASSIVE difference between being pants and not liking it.
The loading times were annoying.
Hell I hated console before the N64, before we got decent 3D games. The PS seems to me to be an amalgamation of all the crappy consoles that came before it.
Sonys attitude to it's PS users is really crap in my opinion. I hated having bought a PS1 I felt like a right mug.
It feels like a 'lowest bidder' machine and has created a trend for releasing effluent with a shiny licenceced label on the front.
Worst console ever? As far as it's approach to games, marketing and control: Yes indeedy.
I tried very hard to find something good about my Playstation normally I can find good points in most things I buy. But it's whole approach just makes me sick.
Make games for the gamers and leave the marketing at home.

thats just wrong hedfix, the ps2 is great. the xbox is the awful one. i mean those xbox controllers are so horrible to use. every game has a fake adult appeal and its just so sad.
