Apple’s obsession with world domination continues, but their phone is just a flashy piece of shit for shallow losers. Here’s a link for real people to a page that, in a simplistic American way, makes all the necessary arguments against said piece of Apple crapple.

The Playstation 3
Posted in Rubbish Technology on May 12, 2007 by myfirstfeatureSony Computer Entertainment revolutionised many a teenage life with the introduction of the Playstation in 1995. I was there, hungry and waiting – which is better, the Sega Saturn or the PS1? IN the end I was persuaded by Toshinden, a beat-em-up so middle-of-the-road it was depressing. Only a few short weeks later Tekken was released. If the two were forms of entertainment then Toshinden would be a mid-June episode of Eastenders compared to Tekken’s Terminator 4: Jesus Must Die, starring Jesus Christ as Himself and featuring a 1950s tap-dance finale. In fact, in Eastenders Dot would be complaining to Jim about having run out of cotton buds, while in the movie a new liquid metal Arnold Schwarzenegger would be battling the son of God on Calvary with an Uzi 9mm machine pistol and selection of spears.
Needless to say, the Playstation 3 has no such games. All of the PS3s games so far look like….well, toss. The console itself is roughly as powerful as the already well-established and supported Xbox 360, but costs just under twice the price. You’ll pay more money for the privilege of paying EVEN more money for the £40 or £50 a throw games, why? Because the old Sony, the one that thought making good stuff equated to good money, is gone. Now there’s just the money, they thought they had to be the most powerful to win, but that’s not the case. It seems even the slobbering masses would much rather have a Nintendo Wii at just over a third the price, than a PS3 with all its capabilities. Why? Because it’s all about the games, and Nintendo will always have Mario, or at least the promise of Mario to come.
If you were given a PS3 tomorrow, what games would you buy? Just think about it. So far, so rubbish.
