"i dont understand what you want sony to do, suck you off?"

Gosh, judging from your ultra fanboi comments, I think the real prob is that you desperately want to suck Sony off. =[

Let's just give up the fanboi crap right now. The PS3 is DEAD LAST among the next-gen consoles in sales for a reason. You don't go from first to worst in a single console generation if everything's f-ing rainbows and chocolate gumdrops, lol.

Denial isn't gonna help them get better, honestly confronting the areas where they're falling short will.

But until Sony finally figures it out, there's always the Wii. Ironic, considering I hadn't even given Nintendo a second look since their Super NES days.

"Hey dumbass, buy the more expensive one then."

Sigh. Hey numbnuts, try reading what I wrote before replying next time:

"and the $499 model is too expensive"

Gotta luv clowns that don't bother to read anything, but still spout off like they know anything. =\

Anyhow, thanks for the flames guys, you've just about convinced me to go with the Wii over the PS3. Why? Because fanboi-ism is no substitute for reasonable pricing and backwards compatibility... and Sony doesn't seem to be able to give me both in a single PS3 model, they still wanna play footsie with the customer. =p

Not to mention they're still lacking a good lineup of PS3 games as of yet, even after a year.

Bummer. =[

Sony is just in deep ****, and it's their own fault, frankly.

For just the latest example, I was gonna buy the new $399 PS3 that's arriving soon... 'til I heard that Sony DISABLED the backwards compatibility on said $399 model! So, you CAN'T play your (likely huge library) of PS2 games on it?!?

WOW, hold me back, I sure gotta buy one of those NOW. o_0

It's just amazing to me how Sony is able to so consistently shoot themselves in the face of late. You never would guess that these are the guys who practically OWNED console gaming for 12 years. =[

Oh well. Guess I won't bother buying the $399 PS3 now, and the $499 model is too expensive. The Wii is looking better all the time. WANTED to buy a PS3, but Sony 'wouldn't let me'.

Great job Sony, that's why you pay your executives the big bucks. =\

At least its not crappy old GSM.

No 3G? No thanks.

Oh, I'm not joking at all. As long as the iPhone is tied exclusively to ATT's subpar network and customer service, and as long as it continues to lack 3G, MMS, voice-calling... yes, it will be vulnerable to competition from good alternatives.

Which the LG 10K definitely appears to be. =]

Checking out all the pics.. I like how the VX10000 opens up into an enV-style phone (with a REAL keyboard, not virtual), but still has the big touchscreen on the outside. Looks like there's finally a true iPhone-killer out there.

Nice job LG!

Yeah, I definitely have to agree that Adobe needs to come out with an OS X version of Captivate. Adobe seems to be its worst enemy of late, ticking off existing customers with unnecessary annoyances and stiff-arming potential customers by simply not offering the products they want to buy.

I guess when you get big, you always get arrogant. Adobe is officially on its way down...

"Where are these people getting the fact that OSX upgrades are faster?"

Uhh... maybe because they are. Very significantly and noticeably so, too. Run 10.0 and 10.4 side by side. If you don't notice a huge speed difference, then you must be [flame].

The iPod haters can suck it. "Oh boo hoo, Apple took all my marketshare by making a cool, easy to use, beautiful to look at product. Boo hoo hool."

Sorry guys, but simply put, Apple took Microsoft and all it allies to school in terms of design. If MS, Creative, Dell, Sony, iRiver, et al want to stage a comeback in this space, they're gonna have to stop cryin' and start tryin'... a lot harder. :)

'til then, iPod/iTunes will continue to own joo. Deal with it. Out.
