I'd kinda already be used to that... Partly because I grew up mainly playing my Brother's SNES that he gave to his Little sister who gave it to me when I was 3 (+/- a year, unsure) and avidly played games belonging to the Early/Mid-90s until 2007...
Good times.
I didn't even need MP... good old 2P KI
or SMW SNES
But Back on topic I'd actually love to see Sony make just like... Cutting edge Machines meant for just 'Core Games' that don't need/can't use THE INTERNET, and then Sony can now actually just focus on teh content of the game/Console and create something amazing... it would be a new feeling. Fresh, even. Could you imagine a game that takes advantage of every square inch of the PS3 or any future machine? Or even a console MEANT to let that happen? And Technology can still get smaller, imagine...
Instead of wasting some resources on things like Internet Cards, and how we'll make sure this and that works over a long distance, and downloadble content and IDs and blah blah blah... we have the technology. We have the Capability. The only thing holding 'us' back is the fact that we keep fixing and working on things that are small.
Be honest now. The internet is virtual. You can't hold Metaphysical Youtube ITSELF in your hands, but you can have it being accessed by a Iphone or some shit.
And the Internet is always changing. Evolving.
A giant mass of omniscient, omnipresent minds working alongside eachother doing god knows what at random... mostly porn and cats but that's besides the point.
Why try to control/fix something that technically doesn't exist as a machine itself does? Can you fix something if the problem
keeps changing or growing incredibly fast,
and finds ways to stop you from fixing it,
dare I say,
think for itself and maybe even bite the hand that feeds it?By the logic that fixing the small things like the Inter-connectivity of the Ps3 is important
rather than the things that prevent that ability from being abused, is basically telling me that having a harmless laser to lock your door instead of a bunch of TITANIUM LOCKS Gilded all over fucking 2 sets of metal slabs considered 'doors' is going to keep a dude with a crowbar away from your valuables...
A Harmless, laser-pointer laser. All that stands between you and the outside world.
Just... that...
No.
So now I would realize that if Sony focused on it's console and not SOCUIL MEDIUH N HOW DIS NU STFF WRK HOW I DO and focused on the PS3's GODDAMN SECURITY then no one would have ended up in their individual places in the first place, the first Hackerdude would have never hacked it successfully, he would have never gotten sued, Sony wouldn't be getting kicked in the balls by 'anon' AND possibly sued by many small or large parties (
angry lawyers 'who own that shit up'?), PS3 ppl would be playing CoD/anyothergameonPS3, and Sony Employees wouldn't currently be getting kicked out of their
Mother's house/Girlfriend's apartment/Rundown Condo/Fancy mansion.
And then everyone would still have the PSN Network to play on, considering the problem could be averted just by
tweaking the machine.
Side note: If I'm right the SNES is older than me and it
STILL WORKS LIKE BRAND NEW... even the games are in more than okay condition... and I don't even have to blow in them anytime soon
