They may charge a tad too much for them, but their TVs are top notch. So are their monitors.

They charged too much for the PS2, but that's fixed now ^_^
I can't call them evil...they just don't play the way that the old dogs (Sega and Nintendo) did. They dabble in all electronics. They play up to the mainstream and casual crowds. They don't market off of first party titles or mascots. And despite loving my new PS2, it is in no way a GC or XBox in terms of what the graphics can do, yet Sony has millions convinced that it's the other way around. Is that evil, clever, or whatever? Who knows...I just find it a bit irritating. Won't keep me from playing what I like though.
I can't vouch for the monitors or the xbr series (since I don't come into contact with them) but their projection TV's, despite having some nice bells and whistles, are completely inferior to the Pioneer, Hitachi and Mitsubishi Projections.Quote:

Sony is evil as the day is long. I've gone on record several times saying that their hobby-killing PS1 is pure mass market evil incarnated in a little grey box.
Im sorry , but people on these boards tend to view sony as an evil conglomerate ,rather than any another company.Oh and Osamas isnt all that bad of a guy.....he gave me a ps2 for my birthday......:rolleyes:* bad joke*.Quote:

How exactly is a video game system "evil"? Do you know what that word means?
Osama Bin Laden is evil, Sony is not, they are just trying to make a profit and win the console wars.
Sony is not evil. Every hardware company has pissed me off in different ways. Nintendo had their excessive censorship and strict policies. Sega has left excellent games in Japan. Sony puts low-quality lasers in their machines.
Anyone who thinks Sony caused 3d doesn't know much about gaming history. The 3 biggest pushers of polygons were Atari Games, Sega and Namco, all of which pioneered various 3d games in the arcades.
Sony didn't mainstream-ize anything more than Nintendo did in the late '80's. The casual gamer back then bought millions of copies of the mediocre Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for NES while masterpieces like Phantasy Star sold infinitely less. How it that any different than now?
What really sucked about the PSX was the complete lack of 2D games. :rolleyes:Quote:

Yes, Sony definitely is evil because the DVD tray on my PS2 makes a terrible grinding when I open it. :( Those EVIL bastards!
While it's obviously outnumbered by 3D games on the console, I don't exactly know why people say that the PSX offers nothing in terms of 2D. Outside of the fighting game transition blunders, there's a very respectable library of 2D games on the console.
Gunners Heaven, Hermie Hopperhead, Panzer Bandit, Castlevania: SotN, Castlevania Chronicles, The Adventures of Little Ralph, Klonoa, Valkyrie Profile, several shooters and RPGs I can go on for awhile longer naming, but I need not go into great detail. A good number of 2D games on the PSX are ones Sony published themselves.
Remember, even though the Saturn was a respectable 2D powerhouse, it's not as though Sega went out of the way to keep the medium alive. Nintendo either, outside of handhelds. Why Sony always gets the scorn from gamers over a few qualms which happened largely in the early days of the PSX is beyond me. And how Sony did more to "mainstreamize" gaming by merely being as successful as Nintendo was in the NES days, and creating a brand name for themselves, is pretty baseless. I'd love it if somebody could explain this to me.
I'm not trying to come off as a holy Sony defender, but let's just get some things in perspective here.
*Gives wilycat a noble prize* if only everyone else thought like this......
