this guy just confirmed it

Considering that they could well have sold old (and new) PS2 games as digital downloads with minimal publishing costs, in comparison to the situation now where new PS2 releases flop out almost stillborn and most of the time can’t even be found in the shops…. yeah.

I know which situation I’d prefer.

All I am is a troll.

No, just more mature.

I wanted a PS3 with backward compatibility as well, so my 100+ collection of PS2 games wouldn’t suddenly become void should my PS2 ever decide to die on me?

You know what I did about it? I went out and bought a 60GB PS3 that *had* backward compatibility.

Don’t have a credit card to buy one on Ebay? Come back in a few years when you’re old enough. People’s job and a company’s livelihood (lets not forget that they are PROVIDING you with the entertainment in the first place) are a bigger priority to most people.

Don’t discuss a topic if you can’t discuss the whole breath of it.

I am sorry Shatner, I won’t stand from the sidelines anymore. You are right, look at how I am acting.

And I’m not wound up in the slightest. Watching selfish ingnorant hypocrites expose themselves as selfish ignorant hypocrites and then seeing all their lame excuses and efforts to not look like a selfish ignorant hypocrites keeps me amused for hours.

You really excel at the petulant teenager act. Top marks!

Hmm, pudding, trying the grammar nazi approach. That’s quite novel. For you. Still, just like your other ‘approaches’ your insistence on trolling in order to try and look superior is only going to show you up as a troll.

As shame, as sometimes you say something worth reading. But you love to destroy your credibility by falling into the troll-cycle.

So, to summarise:

Jonarob: selfish, petulant, hypocritical, ignorant teenager

Pudding: Trolls and leaps into arguments, trolls them more so as to keep them going, never adds to discussion of article

Me: Always right, never wrong. Actually knows what he’s talking about (which pisses you lot off something rotten, haha!)

Perjoratives? Check (‘bub’)

Double Negatives? Check (unfortuntely you’ll have to read it)

That’s why I can go around saying absolutely fuck all on the topic and still strut around like some expert who is a better human being than whoever I’m talking about.

Or is that a troll? I dunno. I guess self-proclaimed White Knights and trolls probably aren’t that different at the end of the day.

You have to appreciate it sometimes, otherwise you’d go crazy reading one of his essays.

But, just like a petulant teenager, you’re going to dismiss commons sense and a bit of grounded knowledge because it isn’t going to lead to the conclusion you want to hear. So, if you don’t like something you hear – well, it must be bullshit, right?!

You had your chance at PS2 backwards compability. If that had been you “argument all along” then the earlier comments criticising you for missing out on it would stand. So, just like your earlier hypocrisy, your insistence about what your argument has been “all along” also flip flops.

You’re just selfish. You weren’t prepared to get something when it was available. Now you’re crying like a petulant teenager that you missed your chance. Seems like you want what you want when you want it and how you want it and don’t give a fuck about anything beyond that. Then you go about saying the other folk are unreasonable and that any view that doesn’t bleat alongside your own lacks substance.

You’ve absolutely failed to explain why a corporation should do what you want beyond “I want it”. You deride any view that dares to look at the situation in a broader context too.

And, after repeated posts and repeated examples of you being hypocritical you’re now going to attempt the “Hell, I never really cared anyway. I’m too indifferent for all of this. Yeah!”. Given your multiple posts and crybaby “I want!” moans this is just more transparent and petulant behaviour.

Allow me to repeat myself, because it’s really not sinking in:

So, you’re selfish and immature. OK. We get it. Yeah, ok – you have a right to be selfish and immature.

I respect your right to be selfish and immature. I just don’t respect the arguments you build on such ill-conceived foundations.

That you imply that the ONLY reaons someone would ever consider both sides of an argument is because they’re some PR goon really shows the maturity of your argument and the insularity of your own view.

The best you can counter some common sense and commercial awareness is with a bit of petulant name-calling and a sly-yet-predictable jab at “The Corporation” act. I can’t say I’m particularly impressed with your reasoning. You’re just being reactionary and petulant.

You entire argument amounts to “I want what I want and I want them to give it to me. And if they don’t give me what I want then they’re being unreasonable”. You’ve neatly skipped over your flip-flopping attitude that I referenced (Good call!) and are still doing the petulant name-calling rubbish without adding a single iota of rational substance to your view.

So, you’re selfish and immature. OK. We get it. Yeah, ok – you have a right to be selfish and immature.

I respect your right to be selfish and immature. I just don’t respect the arguments you build on such ill-conceived foundations.

Oh, wait. That’s pretty unreasonable isn’t it?

There’s certainly a disconnection between consumer and manufacturer. But, the consumer always insists that the disconnection is their divine right and they shouldn’t be criticised for being both wilfully ignorant and personally selfish – but, at the same time, will argue (and even stoop to performing the ‘victim’ act) that if their tune isn’t jumped to then just because it’s not commercially viable or even goes against simple common sense that it’s still wrong for their demands not to be met.

A total unwillingness to see anything from a view other than their own whilst insisting that the other party is being selfish and unreasonable.

Maybe some consumers are just selfish cunts relying on the “well, I’m just an ickle consumer, I shouldn’t be criticised should I?” act to excuse their cuntishness?

And maybe some people are so keen to take the contrary view to anything that they’re happy overlook common sense for the sake of it.

Neither attitude is one I’d regard as remotely credible or worth listening to.

If one party merrily refuses to acknowledge the concerns of the other party, they can hardly be surprised when such an attitude is reciprocated.

Unless they’re selfish hypocritical cunts, that is.

Followed up by a very entertaining “It only makes sense when I say it, not anyone else” approach with:

“You’re being utterly ridiculous. You think Sony’s entire games division would go bust if they put backwards compatibility back in the PS3? I’ve never heard something so downright silly in all my life. What the hell is wrong with you?”

I’ve seen insularity a lot on this site but you’re rapidly ascending the ranks of some long-standing nonces.

With regards to you acting like a petulant teenager – hypocrisy, insularity and repeated name-calling on your part aren’t doing much to shake the notion that that’s exactly what you are.

You want a feature? Good for you. Ain’t gonna happen. Get over it.

He would probably do well in either the PR or political worlds…

LMAO!!!!
