Is it safe to download that update yet? Not that I can connect anyway... I'll need an ethernet-usb converter.

Nintendo Wii = Online play for a Smash Brothers game.

Playstation 3 = "We're trying to base it off actual Japanese history as much as possible ... So here's this giant enemy crab."

Did everyone see Sony's latest screw up?

You know, that's my favorite part of being in "18-24 year old with disposable income (sorta)" demographic. Seeing these stupid marketing stunts and then proceeding to not buy the product in question. I mean, the Wii ads were stupid in a kind of obvious "70 year old grandmas don't play video games" way, but Sony apparently just hates consumers period. As Tycho once put it " PS3: Savage Joke At Consumer Expense".

The only logical thing I can think of at this point is that Sony has been secretly doing a giant study over like that last 10 years where they create a very powerful and popular company and then see how much they have to do to ruin it.

Wait, thats not logical at all. My favorite Sony scewup so far is how thay announced some part of the ps3 (cant remember which) will inevidibly break, and they will charge like $50 for repair.
