Mayor blames Sony for PS3 day of chaosBoston boss legals computer giantBy Dean Pullen: Monday 20 November 2006, 21:39Click here to find out more!THE MAYOR of Boston, Thomas M. Menino, has vowed to bill Sony for the trouble caused by the PS3 launch day chaos.Speaking to the Boston Herald Menino spoke about the situation frankly, "We had to rush in 12 police cars with officers there and take them off the streets of our city where they're doing their patrols, to squelch the crowd that we had there" he said, referring to a crowd of 500 at a local mall."It's something that should not be tolerated" he said. "It's wrong to take advantage of the public that way, wrong by the manufacturer and by the retailer.""The mayor feels this is a ploy by big business to fill the pockets of their stockholders on the public’s back without any regard for public safety" said a spokeswoman, for Menino.The local Best Buy store at the mall had refused to take into account a list that had been created by customers in line, but were subsequently forced to by police."The store said our list was meaningless; it's going to be a mad rush, and whoever gets through the doors first gets one" said one queuing customer. Elsewhere, mobs of customers stampeded into stores, injuring a man in Wisconsin and forcing authorities to close a Wal-Mart in California.In Connecticut, two armed thugs tried to rob a line of people outside a Wal-Mart and a prospective PS3 owner refused to give up his money and was subsequently shot. He was in stable condition yesterday at hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.Sony spokesman Dave Karraker said that the chaos "It's not something we planned or foresaw," he said, but even the mainstream media understood that this was a likely outcome with the Herald writing, "If Sony didn't, nearly everyone else seemed to know that limited supplies and high demand were a formula for trouble." µ
PS3 update leaves users confusedMystery update, was it good for you?By Nick Farrell: Wednesday 29 November 2006, 13:39PS3 USERS have been left scratching their heads over Sony's firmware upgrade for the PS3.According to Arse Technica there are a number of bugs which the PS3 has, but Sony's version 1.11 upgrade did not seem to fix any of them.There are a couple of threads that have opened on various PS3 message boards with the hope of trying to find the bug that version 1.11 fixed.Apparently the Blu-ray scaling issue wasn't fixed, the browser is still slow, the store doesn't look different and there is no background downloading.Arse did notice that there was a new account management tab, so punters can add more money to my virtual wallet to spend online without having to go to the store.No one can believe that rather than help those people who managed to get a PS3 earlier by fixing bugs in their machines, Sony seems to just want to help them spend more money instead.
well we got one at work (JK) albeit a japanese one.. not impressed much thus far, hopefully next year will be better for games. Only thing that had me impressed is a co-worker walking by Al Haaq with the controller and still being able to control the system in the store.
i think the distance he referring to is just under 50 ft
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Electronic Arts Inc. CEO Larry Probst said on Wednesday that initial sales of Sony Corp.'s new PlayStation 3 were half of what the console giant had targeted, due to shortages.ADVERTISEMENTProbst's remarks pushed down EA's shares by nearly 2 percent, even though he said sales of video games and players were at or slightly ahead of targets at the start of the holiday season.The chief executive of the world's biggest video game publisher said demand for the much-anticipated PlayStation 3 (PS3), which made its U.S. debut on November 17, was strong, but a shortage of supply meant that only about 200,000 units of the game console were sold at retail outlets.
