So, a lot of negative stuff about the PS3 I read this morning. Lately there was some rumours about stacks of PS3s at numerous stores, like as if nobody wants them. Today another story on Slashdot about PS3s freezing up — reportedly.

Anyways, I wouldn’t have given this any more attention if I didn’t catch somebody saying something like this in that thread:

I loved Sony, I loved my PS2. Then this whole rootkit crap happened. Because of that I am now gonna buy an XBox 360.

Yeh that’ll teach the industry!

It’s a nice demonstration of the stupidity of people in large groups because he probably won’t be the only one thinking that… Microsoft for fuck sakes — a real saint they are.

It’s really funny how, because everybody says DRM is bad and the Sony/BMG thing was pure evil, so they’re buying Microsoft stuff now. It just shows how much people really, really know: just enough to fuck ‘m up….

Sure DRM is bad — but the world needed a Sony/BMG thing to make the public realise what’s happening; but sadly they seem to be missing the point. Microsoft is doing exactly the same — difference is they own the rootkit, err, the stuff that makes up Windows (the stolen frame and the illusion of glass in it). Or their Xbox for that matter.

All of these companies are up to no good — if you really want to make a point; buy neither, because flaming one company while praising the other, while both companies are trying to accomplish the same goals, really makes you look like an idiot.
