IF a person has one pc and now wants to use the ps3 so he can use the pc and the ps3 at once they will care. Unless you think they are going to disconnect the wire from the back of the pc and run to the back of the ps3 each time they want to use the other device.
...or they can connect the other device to the PS3.
...or they can just go out and buy a damn switch now that they got 3 devices to create a network. I can't believe you honestly think these are life-stopping obstacles.
With a real router you get hardware firewalls . Is sony going to provide a software firewall good enough to make up for that ? Will they provide other security mesures ?
If they didn't have a switch/router/access point in the first place, they will not have had DSL in the first place. So why would they need a firewall? They evidently didn't have a broadband connection to the internet, in the first place. They would just be connecting between their PC and PS3, period. If they happen to add another PC, they already got an extra port on the PS3 to add them to the network.
It's all been thought out... I'm guessing you think these are all very, very bad things to have on-hand.
The day they DO get connected to DSL, they will get their hardware router, as well! Everything will be connected and secure! Happy?! Geezus, this is a ridiculous point!
Also how many people have thier internet acess point near atv ?
If they want it bad enough, it can be done. You'd think if the technology of mankind can bring 1.5 Mb internet access 20 mi from a substation to a socket in your wall, someone will be able to figure out how to bring it another 10-15 ft inside your house where you need it. Geezus!
Ever heard of wireless? How about signalling through your AC system? Run a cable? ...dozens of solutions to run through, and you have to wonder if this is in anyway a dealbreaker? You think any of these logistics magically disappear if it is XB2 you are connecting up??? Uh-oh, I guess these online micro-transactions will be in severe jeopardy of never happening for XB2 for the very same reasons you would knock PS3... XB Live is tehDOOM3D!!!
No more ridiculous than any of your points .
You accuse me of not "allowing for" other people's points, and then you turn around with a comment like this??? Classy!
Being able to access a pc hardrive does not make up for a lack of a local drive .
Sure it does. You are just hellbent on believing otherwise because it threatens you that PS3 could actually be that much more workable than you would like to believe. Is it going to work 100% alike? Of course, not. Will the differences fall to the point of triviality? Maybe, maybe not, but most likely, yes.
There are people who still connect to the internet with small hardrives that are filled up with crap .
Then they'll need a new HD, won't they? If they have run out of space, then they didn't have a workable computer, anyway. It's no different than any other computer situation. You run out of capacity, you upgrade or augment. Oh-no, they shouldn't add a HD, or that will make the old one feel neglected...
Meanwhile, it's reasonable to believe everybody else running around with gargantuan 80/160/200/300+ GB HD's should be doing just fine for space...
Not to mention all the speed issues you will have acessing tthat data . I've already listed them .
Yes, your concerns have been exposed as negligible and insignificant, imo. Typically, the things that would be stored on a HD are not so speed-critical to begin with, in the larger picture of things that need to be stored in the computer realm. Otherwise, they would be kept in RAM, in the first place, ya think?
Right good job , That should be sonys marketing campain , STop being cheap go buy gbit gear !!!! .
No, if
you can really use that extra performance, you will buy it...just like anything else in the computer world. Sony doesn't have to market it to you. They did think ahead to put it in their equipment for your benefit should you decide to upgrade the stuff on your end in like, however. Lemme guess, this is another "bad" thing for the consumer?
You know what i'm going to stop right here .
Good choice, as your line of reasoning as proven largely fruitless- just a long chain of FUD and damage control, apparently.
With certian people on the forums its only thier views that are allowed to be posted and your quickly becoming one of them .
Uhh, you're the mod at these forums...who ultimately decides what posts get through or not. So who here can really be guilty of posting their view, and then covering the mouth of any opposition??? I am just a poster here like anyone else. They post their viewpoints, I post mine. It's a simple dynamic. ...now maybe what it is you desire is to post whatever twisted views you please and remain uncontested as a matter of policy? ...or maybe it is an environment where only pro-XB and negative PS comments occur, is what you are preferring? (Seriously? Have you taken a look at your routine pattern of comments in any given topic here?) What jvd says, goes as law, goes as fact, no ands ifs or buts? Is that really your idea of a harmonious, productive forum?
Please- don't preach to me about how someone's viewpoint should be. Take a look at yourself, for once. Make due note of
your involvement in doing the very things you accuse me of. You gotta a whole lotta nerve, indeed. My comments here were purely to
defend. Yours have been to cast doubt and introduce FUD (don't believe me- go back and read...it's all in the record for all to see). Who's really the attacker here?
You have yet to say anything that makes you anymore right than what i've said .
Indeed, I have. Of course, this simply cannot occur in jvd world, right? In that sense, I certainly can understand how you come to a conclusion like that.
All your basicly saying is that "Oh its sony no matter what they do they are the best , but i'm going to knock ms in the same sentence and that is okay cause i'm a sony fan , but if you knock sony i'm going to come troll your posts "
Making any defense is a troll, now, eh? I said Sony is the best somewhere in preceding pages? Clearly, you are ridiculously sensitive to anything said of MS that isn't glowingly positive. Clearly, you put in all kinds of additional meanings on top of the simple comment a person gives, to suit your interpretations. You are out of control, and unfortunately, there seems to be no one to rein you in.
Its getting tiring when you have a group of a few people who don't let others voice thier opinions .
I don't recall editing any of your posts or locking any topics. That would be an amazing feat given the access I share with other common posters here. Your opinions have been voiced (scroll up...see? all your posts are still there and intact). Perhaps what you are desiring is that no one is allowed to contest you? Just a one way discussion perhaps? Where you teach and inform us and we are only to listen and discuss amongst ourselves?
If i believe something is useless and I list why they are , then that is why , i don't care if you disagree because the next person will disagree with you and me .
Clearly, you do care. You wish to remain uncontested. Otherwise, you wouldn't have to characterize anyone who disagrees with you as "trolling". Yet, you seem to reserve the right for yourself to counterpoint on remarks made by others? Wow, that sounds pretty equitable. What a fool I have been for asking for more...
Its a discussion board and since this conversation is about what we think , I can't be wrong no matter how much you need to put sony in a good light it wont allways work because as i've allways said each choice has both good and bad that comes along with it .
Yes, we are well aware of your notion of "how you can't be wrong". It is most unfortunate that you do not extend that understanding to others here who would hold differing opinions to your own. They "must be wrong", if you are so willing to jump in with counterpoint to them, right?
