Fixed. I considered buying a PSP, but I already have about 10 GB each of SD and CF. I'm not spending more money on another format when I can easily avoid it.

If it wasn't for this guy, we wouldn't have had the Playstation or the PS2, which is a tremendous thing for this guy to have on his resume.

Congrats on a good run Ken :thumbsup:

Finally! Personally, I think he should commit seppuku for all his miserable failings. Maybe SONY can begin the long road to recovery now.

Lol, yeah he's to blame. It's not the fact Sony is the biggest scumbag of a corporation on earth, oh no definitely not...

Enderle said the biggest of those mistakes--the pricey inclusion of the Blu-ray player in the PS3--may well have been forced on Kutaragi by others at Sony.

Bummer.

Not bummer, it's par for the course.

Force proprietary stuff on consumers. Sony is in it's death throws and I for one am happy to see them die. FINALLY.

I meant bummer for Kutaragi not for Sony. It appears that the integration of Blu-ray was not his idea yet he is taking the fall for it.

The one thing I do like with Sony is they try to compete with better technology. Sony looks at formats says "Can we make it better?" while a lot of other companies look at formats and say "Can we make it cheaper?" Talk all you want about quality, workmanship, price of their products, or what the best interests of the consumer is, I don't care. But there is no denying that the underlying technology is there.

But, alas, Sony is the new "it" company to blindly bash, so I must change all my thoughts to "Die Sony, Die" (translated to "The Sony, The" )
