I thought xbox live was down for 2 weeks over one Christmas period.
The horror of plugging in your DS controller into your laptop!!!!
Show me a situation where you actually need to use a keyboard and charge to controllers or the world falls apart as you seem to be indicating - once again you are exaggerating the inconvenience.That's the problem, you're not object here hence you get called out from time to time for all your cheer leading of MS and over stating of Sony issues.
No its not, first of all you can't seem to get your facts straight, earlier you were saying he lognest Live was down was 5 days now your saying 9 days. Regardless if I had 2 or 3 RROD which is quite common for many of us who bought 360s during the first 3 years, there is a good chance we experienced more than a month of down time due to the error on MS's part. PSN being down didn't prevent me from playing most games locally it kept me from playing online multiplayer and a few PSN titles with DRM issues. For that inconvenience I have multiple titles to choose from for free but that isn't good enough for you because the titles are older however somebody getting Kameo and Perfect Dark for a RROD is proof that MS is here to save the day. But once again earlier in the thread people were complaining that the games Sony is offering are more than 6 months old.
I don't see anyone giving Sony a free pass, I see people trying to put the issue into perspective and calling out over the top comparisons by people such as yourself who have motives which are clear to anyone who is the least bit objective here. Giving away all this software is unprecedented as far as I know. I can't think of another situation where one the major companies gave away this much software to compensate users who in many cases hadn't been harmed in a way that is easy to quantify. PSN going down is subjective because most users don't pay for it and some don't game online anyway but regardless all who have PSN accounts will get software as compensation.
I think that's a fair idea
I don't think the damage is that bad, certainly not worth hundreds of millions of dollars in freebies when Sony's finances aren't that great. Free vouchers towards any Sony published games, given to accounts that have spent money, would have given the widest choice at the least cost.
Eh? Do you know how annoying and irritating it is for the consumer to have his 360 RROD'ed multiple times even at free "repairs"? Which is waiting for weeks for replacement with a refurbished 360? Which may be an RROD'ed time bomb even after the warranty expires?
