Jimquisition: How Sony Can Make it Up To You
- Thread starter Jimothy Sterling
- Start date
actually pirates and hackers drew first blood George announced last year that he had found the access he needed to break ps3 wide open and that was using the other OS option Sony then removed it.Nupraptor said:
Okay, so... Sony should bring back two games you like? And stop with the firmware updates?
Granted, you could make a case for that last argument. ...But you didn't. It wasn't really an argument. It was a proposition, amidst unrelated facts.

Doesn't change the fact they removed a feature from the console [1 which I know was a deciding factor for some people on weither to buy a PS3 or 360] and in doing so annoyed people you don't want to annoy when it comes to computing things.WilliamRLBaker said:
Not to worry. Chances are if this were to ever come true i'd be rich enough to have a private jet with my own king size bedDraconalis said:
I'd prefer they just make PSN+ the standard(minus having to pay for what amounts to access to something you have to fucking pay for anyway)
If they want to keep the firmware bullshit up how about adding the ability to choose from more than 12 colors for a theme, its a petty gripe but I hate that I cant have a simplistic theme without having to download it from a third party.
in terms of games,they brought a lot of good PSone games to the shop but it took them forever
they need to bust out some awesome games to make this good
FFIX as well as FFVI even without graphical updates would be welcomed
PS2 Backward compatibility is a goddamn must! seriously this shit cannot be that hard, dudes in their moms basement make emulators that run those games like a dream on crappy computers; the PS3 is supposed to be some high powered beast.

This show is meh. It's not funny, it's boring, and it feels like he's trying too hard. Plus, the audio.
And if I'd had a PSN account, they'd have to a hell of alot more than that to get me back.

I'm pleasantly surprised this episode was soooooooooooo much better. I actually found myself chuckling, his delivery was good, the video quality was better and the material was timely and not offensive. I'm willing to give the show another chance at this point.
Yes, it's the PSN avatar I'm talking about. That was only a random example, though it would be pretty neat to have it on PSN. Of course, it doesn't have to be the only compensation; in fact, it really shouldn't be. There are higher priorities, like some basic built-in security program with the next firmware (ignoring the cost issue for a moment for the sake of example).mjc0961 said:
Hey, you know what? That's a good idea too!mjc0961 said:
Overall, I know the avatars are not that high on the list of practical changes to PSN. But seeing as how PSN is, in a sense, a console-based online game community forum, this will certainly add to its appeal. Especially if Sony plans to keep it running for a long time. (Plus, trying to make different avatars would be a small fun in itself.)
P.S: What I was saying earlier was that Jim's videos stated only one possible good change out of three he presented; a system change should be prioritized at this point, I'm saying.
Good points:
- More topical
- Opening self-referential joke
- Fine-tuned opening titles
- A promising ghost of an argument for the 3rd way.
Bad points:
- The description seems oddly seasonal
- The first 2 ways Sony can make it up to us are strangely random...intentionally?
- The swearing is still pretty unnecessary, save it up for something that really annoys you. Using it all the time means it loses effect.
I'll stick around to see what you have to say next week.

I hate the firmware updates too, but I think this is the one time I actually want one. For one thing, seeing that little green bar would mean PSN is back. Two, if a company decides to rebuild the entirety of their online service yet doesn't release a firmware update for it, then I have to think they're doing something really, really wrong.
Who's taking it seriously? Just because an act is not subtle doesn't make it good satire.Princess Megatron said:
We (royal) know he's putting on this self-congratulatory mannerism. It's just not entertaining. It doesn't add anything to whatever he's trying to say. And he isn't really saying anything. At the end of the day, it's a chubby dude acting pompous in front a camera without saying or doing anything of substance.
I'm left wondering why this video series is here.
