So how many features has Sony removed from the PS3 since launch?

[Ichirou]

Let's make a list.  It seems every time Sony makes an update or a revision, they take shit out of the PS3.

- Other OS

- Flash card reader

- SACD support

- Backwards compatibility

- Power switch (you can't actually turn off the PS3 slim, just put it in sleep mode )

Wow, why would someone buy a machine that gets downgraded with every update and revision? 

[Himu]

[Smooth Groove]

There's even more if you include the pre-launch promises:

-Dual-1080P output

-120 FPS gaming

-rocket launching computer

-saves cancer

-makes paninis

[Ichirou]

I should make a list of all the shit MS has added to the 360 since launch for comparison!

- New XBox Experience

- Avatars

- USB memory stick support

What else?

yeaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Ichirou]

Next update will be Sony removing the ability to play games on your PS3.  It'll only work as a Blu-Ray player. HUAHUAHUA

[Himu]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Ichirou]

PlayStation 3: It Only Does Everything Less With Every Single Update.

Time to buy another 360, Himu.  Jump back in.

[Himu]

Ehhhhhh

I might depending on the slim.

[Ichirou]

[Himu]

Still don't see the point though, with a pc.

It'll come down to Zelda.

If Zelda comes out soon for wii, I'm getting a wii, or borrowing a wii. Doesn't matter.

[pilonv1]

[Eel O'Brian]

still funny!

[Himu]

[Diunx]

You can't turn off the wii either, my sister just unplugged it when she is not using it since electricity is ridiculous expensive here.

[GoofyGoober]

I'm sure hey will find a way to remove more, even though there is not much left to remove.

The Wii on non standby takes about 2 watts of electricity.

[Madrun Badrun]

[cool breeze]

the ps3 slim has an external power source, no? I figured the reason the fat PS3 had a switch was due to the internal psu, and the opposite for why the slim doesn't.  I know the 360 external one still is getting charge even when the 360 is off because of the orange light.

and I haven't checked up on it in a while, but way back when a lot of third party controllers worked with PS2 games and after a patch they stopped working.  Something along those lines.

[Ichirou]

oh yeah, and some of my Blurays that WERE working now error out and don't work. Think Dragona has a similar beef with this.

They're even removing some Blu-Rays' compatibility with the system?!

HUAHUAHUAHUAHUAHUAHUA

Remember Kutaragi put together that patent that was to remove your ability to sell your physical media games - one time linking of unique game id to an account, after that it's basically a coaster if you're done with it.

Not that other companies aren't absolutely looking into something similar to slice the 2nd hand market out.

oh, you better believe it

all that ubiplay and project ten dollar stuff is the tip of the iceberg

[naff]

Yeah this sucks. Would've been good if they still supplied the older 'elite' models for those who would use the features however their firmware updates were already making them confused enough having to have different releases for old consoles with bc/linux compatibility and the new ones without it.

seriously though, who needs THREE ethernet ports?

Project Ten Dollar is actually a better idea, IMO.  They don't make the game incompatible with other systems if you decide to sell it but you have to pay the game company to access DLC and content.

And they'll call it the PS3Go.

Because some people aren't toddlers?

I mean, if the removal of a useless software feature in a videogame product is really that important to you, then man...you're in for a surprise once you hit real life.

[Ichirou]

Did I hurt your feelings?

[Shins]

(Image removed from quote.)

One note to the good, they did add some vents to the real thing.

[TripleA]

Oh, this was a troll post.

Carry on then.

[Ichirou]

Oh, this was a troll post.

Carry on then.

If you think it's acceptable to purchase a product that advertises itself as having certain features, and then as the years go by, those features are gradually removed, then you're a fucking sucker, dude.

But then again, that's to be expected of an Sbot.

[Smooth Groove]

TripleA, why so serious?

PS2 backwards compatibility is hardly a "useless" feature.

Yeah, the 360 is amazing.

A lot of schools actually bought PS3s because of the other OS feature, but I guess that's useless too.

Just more FUD from butthurt Sbots who can't handle the fact that they made the inferior choice this gen.

Yes, I'm a sucker for not whining about the removal of a useless feature.

Sbot, Wiitard, etc etc etc. Make up your minds already.

It's funny but you know the only thing Triple A had to do to fight back (instead of getting all butthurt and huffy) was post a pic of an RROD.

Instead he got annihilated Green Shinobi-style.

Looks like MS needs another company to copy again, this time it's Sony's removal of system features.

[Smooth Groove]

What the hell's wrong with you?  Everyone here just bought one to troll.  

[Himu]

I bought a ps3 to use as a night stand! 300 dollar night stand gogo!

Ok, seriously, I bought one to watch Pirates in HD.

You have be really really attached to your dinky piece of plastic and bolts to not see the point of this thread and this thread brings up a good point and was done in good humor. Although it's not really a serious troll, it still sheds truth on state of the ps3. No matter how much of a good system I think it is, the truth is the truth and denial will only set you back.

You're ridiculous. Yes the Xbox is perfect and has never had any problems ever. And Sony didn't reflect the changes in hardware with a massive price drop. Microsoft don't nickel and dime their users for bullshit either like controllers without rechargable batteries, wireless adapters and ridiculously over priced hard drives
