WTF Sony? [View all]

Sony was looking so nice for the PS4... They really had to do nothing more then deliver a more powerful system. They are fucking it up though.

First... We have the big news that they somehow managed to release a firm ware update that bricked some consoles... ummm... Are you shitting me? Wait, theres more! They had no backout plan... Nothing in fucking place in case something bad happened... Seriously Sony? Stop distributing the update is all you had in place? Mercifully, my PS3 was not bricked

There is just no excuse for this... Shit happens and updates can always go bad... Which is why it's fucking IT 101 to have a backout plan before you can go live. I promise you Sony... If your practices are this piss poor, put me in charge of releases and testing and I have no doubt I can cut your life cycle by at least a third while also cutting production bugs by 90%... Fuckin-A, no backout plan... Sheesh.

Next on todays shit on Sony time is this little gem that pretty much slipped by me:

http://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/ps-plus-is-not-required-for-ps4-social-features-entertainment-apps-or-auto-updates/

I'm sorry... Did I get that right:

"A subscription to Sony’s PlayStation Plus service is required to play PlayStation 4 games online, but we now know that the console’s auto-update capabilities, streaming entertainment apps like Netflix, and “social features” won’t require a paid subscription. Back catalog streaming of PlayStation 3 games might, but that’s a bramble nest of “ifs” and “maybes,” according to Sony Computer Entertainmet UK managing director Fergal Gara."

WTF? You want me to pay a monthly fee to use a feature of a game I've already paid for and not allow the developers to use any other method of online play?

I am not liking this next generation of consoles at all.
