yeah, that is odd. you're probably the only person on the planet to ever use Wi-Fi and "never" lose a connection.
It's probably because i completely forgot about the application and left it to stand still for months. when i finaly remembered it wouldn't update to the current version, probably because they upgraded it alot.Indigo_Dingo said:
I thought of deleting it and downloading it again, but i don't know if i would be able to or if i could i wouldn't know where.
EDIT: Hang on, it's starting to download again. Hopefully it'll go through the whole thing instead of stoping mid-download.

P.S. If you haven't heard grom me lately it's because my computer was down.
P.P.S. My computer is Vista.
P.P.P.S. Vista was made by Microsoft.
P.P.P.P.S. So was the Xbox360.
P.P.P.P.P.S. They both crash more than my PS3.
One last note before this thread dies out (i'm assuming)
It seems to me that Sony is the only one of the 3 companies that is really trying to make an effort with anything recently.
Think about it, I havn't heard of a "firmware update" for the 360 (if they even get those, i'm not sure) or a new service for it, hell i havn't heard to much from Nintendo at all lately.
Sony is the only one right now giving it's consumers new things, even if some of them are "copied". I've heard of Trophys, Home, Life, new updates to the recent firmware updates.
All i heard from M$ (from my experience) is Gears of War 2, Fable 2, and Halo Wars. Basically all i'm hearding from MS is their games. (nothing's wrong with that, but is their anything else they have planned? Like new features to LIVE? or new dashboard options or something?)
I havn't heard from Nintendo in a long while, i hope they give us something good at E3.
But yeah, that's how i see it.

1. Jumplion has a goodpoint. I agree with it.
2. Folding@home is so full of win, doesn't take any effort and can be done when your not on your PS3 (activate it, switch TV to Cable/Satellite, ???, Profit!)
3. Connecting the PSP to PS3 is very, very fast. Connect the 2 using a USB cable and go to Remote Play under options in PS3, click register device, and literally about 5 seconds later it's good to go. Not hard or slow at all.

Hmm, I love PS3 and I also have and xbox and I love it too..but maybe the reason a lot of people hate sony is because of the it's neck to neck competition with what ever game or console released by microsoft or whatever game company. i guess that's just the way it is, big companies have to make aggressive campaigns or they will be left behind.

Anyway, here's a reason to dislike Sony. A while ago they announced that their soon to be released new PS3 model would not be backwards compatable with PS2 games. When the rep was asked why he said something along the lines of "To make people stop buying PS2 games."
I must be so hard for everyone who still lives with their parents and can't just budget to buy themselves both systems. It must be awfully hard to force yourself to hate something (whether the XBox or the PS3) just because it's something you can't have.
Both systems have merits, as does the Wii. We actually have a generation where we have three healthy consoles on the market, and that's something we should all be happy about.
But you can't be, because you're young and still live at home and your dad won't buy you both systems and you have to pick a "best".
This thread was supposed to be about disliking Sony, and between their computers, their horrible customer support, and SOE; there are plenty of good reasons to poke fun at them. Just because you bought a system and you don't want to ever have to wonder if maybe the other one would've been good too doesn't mean you have to ignore the fun to be had in lampooning them.
I like my 360 way better than my PS3 right now, but I'll still gladly bash MS for their more boneheaded actions, but then you have people in this thread trying to act as proxy PR for their company of choice and shaming us all in the process. When Sony said that rumble is for bitches it was a damn bone-headed move, and it's FUNNY. Don't defend it, just fucking laugh. When Microsoft made a controller the size of a small car, it wasn't a great controller that just took some getting used to, it was damn stupid. LAUGH AT THEM!
GODDAMMIT STOP MASTURBATING YOUR COMPANY OF CHOICE AND JUST LAUGH, YOU SHAVED APES!

A few things... first of which being I've skipped most [all] of this thread, so I'm not replying to anyone other than the OP really.
People say Sony "stole" the Achievements idea off X-Box. I say it's throwing a fat kid into a lake to see if he swims. Why risk time and money testing an idea if your rivals can take the risk for you? It happens in the real world too; Composite Doors used to be pretty hard to find, but now one of the big Door manufacturers is backing them every door fabricator and his granny make them.
Personally, I think it's jealousy. The worst technical fault you can level at the Playstation and its successors is that, in the PSX and PS2, the 1st edition version of each console tended to have disk reader problems in later life. This meant that about halfway through the console's life expectancy, you had to have a major overhaul, or ditch it and buy a new one.
By the time my PSX died, I could pick up a replacement for £40. My PS2 is struggling (not "dying", not yet at least), but I have a PS3 now so in theory Sony is happy. I have moved on. Plus, I'm obviously going to buy a new PS2 when mine DOES die, because I can play PSX / PS2 games on it but not the PS3.
Would anyone care to make a list of faults the X-Box / 360 suffers from? Would it be quicker to list what works? Hmm... can we say "the casing" without someone proving us wrong?
I have never liked the X-Box. When it came out, I was firmly rooted in Sony / Nintendo, and dismissed the X-Box as overpriced crap that would soon tank and die. By the time the X-Box finally got a reputation worth spitting on, I still wasn't interested because the N64 was on the way out and I was debating whether I should move on to the Gamecube.
The 360 was duly ignored by me, partly because I still considered the X-Box not worth the time and effort (if I couldn't get it on PS2, I could get it on PC).
Now the PS3 is in my possession, I DEFINATELY don't consider the 360 worthwhile. I've just shelled a lot of cash on a new console, so I won't be buying another for a long while.
Is this irrational hatred of the X-Box unfounded? Probably, but frankly I don't care. I am by no means a "Sony Fanboy"; I chose Sony over Sega for very logical and sensible reasons. I chose to fuck off the X-Box because it's a Microsoft product, and I doubted it'd run for ten minutes straight. Turns out that prophecy came true for many gamers. I suppose it all comes down to breeding; Sega and Nintendo are Gaming Companies. Sony did a good job of founding itself. Microsoft is still that shitty company everyone hates. Why would I buy from them if I can find a realistic alternative? I use windows because 90% of the planet is built to handle Windows, but when it comes to Consoles I can pick what I want... and I'll pick what's built by a company you can rely on.
