And the Winner is... Not you Sony

This is an Editorial from Chief S21 and so any sentiments reflected in this post will not affect the fair coverage of future games. -ChaoticUnion


How do you make a rant about sucky video game consoles without mentioning the Playstation 3?
The answer is... you can't. In this rant I'll be talking about the $600 piece of shit I bought December 1st, 2006. Unlike some people I was willing to pay the $600 because of my love for the PS2, but still, $600?!?! Not to mention it being the most expensive console to hit the market!

I was so excited when getting my PS3. My first game was no question, Resistance: Fall of Man.It wasn't that hard of a choice just because of the fact that it was the only good game on the Ps3 and I don't think one game is worth buying a $600 console. The games were so bad, I heard people saying they used their PS3 as just a blu-ray player so that it wouldn't be worthless(You could only imagine how I felt when I finished Resistance). The fact that there was no controller vibration only made it worse. Everyday I would walk by my dust magnetic Playstation and think of what I could have done with all that money while urging for a good game.

Now to talk about Playstation Home. I was excited when first entering Home, thinking, "This is gonna change the PS3." Boy was I wrong. First of all, for the person who doesn't like to pay for online, it is hard to have fun to the fullest extent without buying a new house or furniture(What little they have right now). You can't really have fun in your one room harbour apartment, which is basically useless considering there's not much to do but sit, move furniture, and look at the same boats. Most of the time when trying to play arcade games, pool, and/or bowling, its occupied. The wait is too long for my attention span. Home is an open advertising market, the only problem is I'm still waiting for something to show up. The only advertisment I've seen is red bull and its actually not even all that great. The only things on the location are platforms on a beach and planes passing by every 10 seconds.

The Playstation Store is kinda weird. Some things are hard to find such as videos and games. Another thing that I'm confused about is the amount of bundles the PS3 has. Its like they make a new one every month.

I leave you now with the video that makes me depressed every time I look at my PS3.




P.S.- Everything in this post are things I think should have been addressed before they crashed and burned. Things may be getting better, but Sony has to learn from their mistakes instead of continuing with them, which I think is ridiculous.
