Ok, so i watched a few more of the larger E3 pressers and have had my brain filled with gaming based goodness - and badness - coming in the next 12-18 months. Here’s how i reacted to the rest of the conferencess i watched in the format of the Fail Scale.
I’ve also added elements from the Microsoft Conference, even re-evaluating some with a little bit more of a mature outlook.
I am writing this open letter in a very concerned matter and very simply to say this to you, one of the founding farthers of modern high powered gaming machines, please, just please.
Make Up Your Fucking Mind.
Kind Regards,

Yes, i’m aware Microsoft are bringing out a larger capacity 60 gig model of their mainstream console at the same price in a similar move to this one made by Sony, thing is, this is the second time they’ve done this within 12 months.
The main stem of annoyance is that working in a game shop, as i do, replacing 40 gig models will again be just as annoying as replacing the now legacy 60 gig model in that the user loses all their data and has to do everything again.
“But Lee, it’s the same as the 360!”
No, it’s not.
20 gig is phased out, 60 gig comes into town, 20 gig machine breaks, they bring it back we swap out the harddrives and they walk away with a new machine complete with all their data. Easy.
It’s a pain in the arse doing this with the PS3.
I suppose atleast this time they arn’t binning yet more features.
Granted i do far prefer the M$ machine this time around and this seems fairly biased but Sony really don’t make it any easier for themselves…
