I suppose nobody other than Apple is allowed to make a portable, HDD-based MP3 player?

Many companies have tried to emulate Apple in its success but it hasn't worked so far =S

Why does,

"Don't you just love surprises, isn't that the coolest thing?"

seem funny and the crowd laughing AT Sony?

You guys are trying seriously TOO hard....

Couldn't it be possible that maybe, just maybe... he said that because no one was expecting the controller to be able to do that? Everyone had expected a new controller that wasn't the boomerang but a new design as well?

Well revealing that the PS3 controller would be the traditional DualShock with wireless support and motion sensing technology is a bit of a surprise to me, and I loved that surprise... and it is the coolest thing. It doesn't have to mean, 'Oh don't you love how we come up with the coolest things and and surprise you all with this fantastic new technology?'

Maybe he should've taken into consideration fanboys misinterpreting his statements and said, "Don't you just love how we've surprised you with this new controller? I know you all thought it would be a boomerang or a new concept"

instead he chose to paraphrase that and in the end it bit him in the ass cuz fanboys want to believe he is taking credit for the sole technology of motion sensing and believes the technology is such a surprise.

Get over it guys.....

The Creative series has had a decent run along side Apple.

You guys complaining about the Nintendo fans, you don't think it's funny at all that the guys from Sony, during their conference, essentially said that the Nintendo Wiimote is a gimmick, then an hour and a half later revealed their new surprising version of the Wiimote was somehow not a gimmick?

Can you imagine a friend of yours doing that? If a friend of mine pulled some sleazy bs like that I'd laugh my ass off at him.

I don't even know how to argue this, it's so obvious that Sony deserves to be lampooned.

I watched the conference, I didn't hear anything about the Wii being a gimmick.

Because lets see Stu, I wasn't TALKING ABOUT SONY. I was referring to THIS comment you said

Jesus, I know some people are acting a little awkward in terms of posts about things like this but don't take your anger at me. Direct it at the ones your pissed at. I'm staying as nice as I can and looking at the entire perspective.

how was I being angry? you're the one saying 'Jesus'

my point about Apple was a reference to the topic at hand...a contribution to the forum, if you will. it had NOTHING to do with success or failure...I assumed that your reference had to do with "well companies can copy but they have proven not to succeed"

because that, y'know, would have actually meant something...
