Brand Loyalty

Yesterday, I told Kris D. that I would not buy a PS4 based solely on the Sony name. I told him that I have just as much chance of buying an XBOX 720 (or whatever it'll be called).

I'll admit that I bought a PS3 based on the Sony name, and based on the fact that the original XBOX was kinda crappy. That said, I think I lucked onto the right choice, because I feel that the PS3 gave me everything I wanted (including a BluRay player). However, there's not going to be a new video format driving this next generation--it's all about the exclusives again, and if Microsoft can convince me that Halo is more important than the next Drake or God Of War, then the NextBox will be my lead platform.

However, if the NextBox720 doesn't have a BluRay drive, they're going to have an uphill battle to get my pennies.

What say you?

PS Vita: 2012 Software Roadmap: Smitty's Thoughts

I've been away for a bit due to the Dreamsucker and the Christmas duties, but I read the article Kris posted a few days ago, and all I can say is $50 for a PS Vita game is BS. I was a PSP consumer...I even bought a PSP GO when Amazon offered it to me for $100 and they threw in 3 games.  I've paid $40 for a portable game -- I didn't necessarily like it, but it was bearable.  But $50 bucks for a portable game?  I don't care how good Uncharted: Golden Abyss is going to be, $50 for a portable game may just be too much to swallow.

I was excited to hear that the next Morotstorm game was going to give you the Vita version free with the PS3 purchase, but this is killing my excitement...

ProjectBleven is against SOPA

Rather than belabor the issue with lots more talking points I would just like to let the Daily Blink to the talking for me.

Stand up against SOPA.

PS Vita: 2012 Software Roadmap

Well  - it looks like D' will be one of the few fanboi's signing up for the PS Vita - the Playstation Blog has released details on the software releases to be expected with the platform on the 2/25/12 release date and it looks like Pack-in software is NOT going to be the method utilized to distribute software for the platform
