FALSE OWNERSHIP


I am just gonna speak my mind on this because things are not adding up. Sony recently just came out with their PSN Video Store, which gives you the ability to rent HD movies or rent/buy SD movies. Now here it goes, if you were to rent a HD/SD movie off the video store there is a message that pops up and gives you information about the rental, telling you that you have 14 days to keep the movie, but once you download it you will only have 24 hours to watch it. Ok, I understand that because they show the information about the rental so nothing bad there. Now here's where things start getting crazy. I purchased a couple of movies and T.V. shows off the video store and had them a couple of days, watched them with the wife and friends a couple of times and then I deleted them. So like two days later family come in from out of town and they were asking if I had any good movies to watch. So I went into the video store and go to the download list so I can download some of the movies I purchased off the store. Come to find out that there are no videos in my download list like how the games are when you download one. So I go into the Terms and Service of the user agreement to find out what's going on, and they say, "once you purchase a purchasable content you can watch it a unlimited amount of times, but once the content is deleted you will have to purchase the content again........WTF?!?!?!" That had me all boggled in my head, because I purchased a movie off the video store that I thought I was going to keep, then find out that once you delete it you have to purchase it again???? It shouldn't be like that Sony. It ain't like that with your games that you can purchase on the store. Why is it like that with your video store? Your giving people the option of renting or purchasing movies, but if you purchase and delete it you will have to buy it again. Sounds like "INDIAN GIVING" to me. Also when I go into the video store to buy the movie back because Sony took it from me, it's not even there to purchase again. I'm really pissed at the moment. I understand that you know people share content with their friends and you don't want people sharing movies because you can get in trouble and lose a lot of money, but how come you can't lock the movies to the console just like you did with Warhawk and Gran Turismo 5: Prologue? All I'm saying is that don't say you give the option to purchase movies so you can be better than your competitor, but end up making us buy the movie again if you delete it. I will not buy a movie off the video store again until Sony fixes that problem. I will only be renting movies, but the whole thing is that a lot of good movies are not even for rent, you HAVE to purchase them.

NO GAME, NO ORIGINALITY




Now I know it's hard to think of things that are one of a kind, but damn M$ can you come up with anything remotely original? You showed Lips and it's Singstar, the Avatars are mii's, the dashboard you took from apple, and Scene it is Buzz. When are you going to show us gamers something ORIGINAL? You have a lot of money, you buy games, you buy people, but can you buy some good or ORIGINAL ideas for your system? I DON'T THINK YOU CAN. The only thing I've seen ORIGINAL come from the XBOX is the RRoD and that's not a good idea. Call me a fanboy if you want, but it still doesn't change the fact that your product is unoriginal and breaks 33% of the time.

STEP IT UP



Sony I love you more than the competition, but your marketing team and your new video rental service you provide is garbage. The biggest game was coming to systems and there was hardly any publicity for it. You seemed more interested in marketing that sorry ass game in HAZE. MGS4 was a game that could sell itself, but in general you need to STEP YA GAME UP in the marketing department. I like the fact that your new video store was released to the public at E3, but how the fuck you gonna tell me how often I can watch a movie I rented with my own money? When it comes to the video service you have NO GAME.

FANBOYS


We pretend that there are only 360 fanboys, but I'm here to tell you there are ps3 fanboys too! Everyone knows who that clown is to the left. If your a multiple console owner, and own a 360 reading this article don't get it twisted cuz he's not the worst. This may be a biased opinion, but I believe that anyone to go and get 5 and 6 ANYTHING OF A FAULTY PRODUCT in my opinion is the worst fanboy out there. FANBOYS in general are RIDICULOUS. When did the trend start, and Why is there so many this generation? We all have a little bit of fanboyism in us, but it seems like some people are taking it TOO FAR. You like how I made up that word? (fanboyism) Now that the ps3 is building a nice name for itself, I'm sorry fans for mentioning his, but FANBOYS and CHAD WARDEN "STEP YO MUTHAFUCKIN LIFE UP!"

HIGHWAY ROBBERY


Well we've gone through two episodes and I haven't heard anybody else say it so I'll say it, "QORE SUCKS!!!" You would hear from PS3 gamers and fanboys how their service is free and yada yada yada, but now look out cause their slowly making you pay for your shit. Not only are they making you pay, but the content you get is not even worth the episode price 2.99. Everyone including myself jumped on the QORE banwagon in some form or another being it be the intial episode or the annual subscription for the SOCOM beta and the promise that exclusive betas and demos would be in QORE and there not. This is the second episode and SOCOM beta is not available, SOCOM's been pushed back, the Easter Egg in episode one was rotten, the interviews of Resistance, Soul Calibur, and AFRO SAMURI could have been found on any numerous of FREE SITES, and a cheezy ass demo of NARUTO. YO Gamers! Recogonize that Sony is starting to implement a system to where they can charge us for demos cause the other content is just not there. Who knows what else they'll charge us for. I'm gonna say, "SONY STEP YA GAME UP! GET IT WHERE YOU FIT IN, cause you are no where near the level where you can start charging for your service."

STEP YA GAME UP PLAYA


Ok first off let me give this man some credit for starting all this Sony blogging and youtube videos shit, but where has he gone from there? He had a big following on myspace and he did nothing with it, he made a bunch of video hits and still Sony knows nothing about him or who he is. He had a countdown to his site with virtual fireworks and everything and when the dust settled...a countdown to what, more blog shit? It took a year for that? Be for real. You took close to half a year to produce your corny ass site? Quit being a internet hero. Your letting your ego get in the way of what its really about. THE PASSION FOR GAMES. Quit posing in front of a black wal-mart sheet wearing a Sony shirt you got from RLS pretending to be official. STEP YA GAME UP PLAYA and do something ORIGINAL. The copy and paste shit is old. I give you credit on the old shit, but now its just old.

CALL OF ERRORS


This SMASH is going to be very controversial. CALL OF DUTY is by far the best and the worst shooter out there. I was hooked for so long, but now I'm just fed up with the lack of attention they managed to give to this game. I can't think of a game that was filled with so many errors and enjoyed such a dominant hold over their competition. Even madden received negative feedback for its poor performance, but to this day nothing is said about the bullshit that takes place every time you pop in your COD disk. "Setting Up Game, Server Full, Connection Interrupted, and more..." How come they only had one update of their game? It was decent. I enjoyed the kill cam and the mute feature, but why haven't they ever cleaned their servers? The HIGH is over for me, its just CALL OF BOOTY. What do you think?
