    Sony's Timeline of Disappointment

    Found this on another forum. I thought you guys might enjoy it. It is a list of all the disappointments Sony has announced over the past few months. I know there was a ton of bad news, but I didnt realise the list was this long!


    First, we start with Sony itself. Yes, I was going to only make a timeline of the PS3 news, but how can you ignore this arrogance from late 2005?

    Nov. 10th, 2005 - Sony is caught hiding a rootkit inside music CD's that place a virus on users computer. Sony's Tom Hesse defends the decision by stating that people don't know what it is, so they shouldn't care


    Now that we know Sony cares about us, lets move on to the PS3...

    Sept 26th, 2006 - PS3 first-party titles announced to be the same price as third party titles, at $59.99
    Sept 26th, 2006 - Square Enix will not exclusively support Sony's PS3 as much as they did with the PS2.
    Sept 29th, 2006 - Sony's President Ken Kutaragi states that his company does not care about the Xbox 360 and Wii competition.
    October 12th, 2006 - Sony Exec calls the 360 and Wii "too expensive"
    October 19th, 2006 - The infamous spec sheet comparison and how Sony claims the Xbox 360 requires HD-DVD to play games

    I don't remember the "Sony Exec calls the 360 and Wii 'too expensive'" thing. Actually, there are a few on there that I don't remember.
