Remember when Microsoft tried to charge people for access to their PC games with Games for Windows - Live? Not only did they drop that idea within a year but they refunded all 3 people who actually subscribed. Good times.

I'm kicking cigarettes so I may have made some extreme comments before through it and want to apologize for them. For the comments that I'm impoverished you've hit the nail on the head, check out my kickstarter. https://www.kickstarter.com/impoorandwantaps5 Consoles are pretty poo poo though.

Sony killed lik-sang for clowning them over distribution while I still had an order for nintendogs (shiba & friends) in the processing phase and it never refunded, and for that I never forgave them play-asia's alright, and I appreciate that their doax3 promo made goons unironically believe their lives were in danger if they ordered from them in the past

I have a Sony mirrorless camera and its a pretty good product. Its also very expensive. Have you tried giving Sony more money? I think the more money you give them the better your experience will be.

True, most of Sony hardware is quite nice, except the part when they gently caress it up with their Memory Sticks, not compatible controllers, remotes, chargers and so. When an original part breaks down, most people will start to see how deep the cock in their butt leads. Owners of Apple and Olympus products might feel a little tickling down there as well.

I used to video tape weddings when I was younger and I lost the little piece of foam that goes over the microphone. I contacted Sony for a new one. $85 plus $15 shipping. Oh and check out what they charge for a Vita memory card: https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Vita-Memory-Card-64GB-PCH-Z641J/dp/B00F27JGVA I wonder why that console failed so horribly considering it relied so heavily on digital purchases?

I used a Dualshock 3 with my PS3 for 5 years without issue, but when I got my PS4 the Dual Shock 4's left trigger started sticking after a year. I decided to try and fix it but I can't because the screws corroded so much they can't be removed. When I got my second Dual Shock 4 I ordered a bag of replacement screws from Amazon, I've already had to replace them once and I'll have to do it again soon, it's been 3 months with this controller. I've never ever had this problem with any other device. I can't fathom how Sony is now using a shittier screw metal than literally every other major console controller since the NES, but here we are. The cherry on top of this poo poo sundae is that no one manufactures alternative screws for the controller, so I have no other option but to keep replacing the loving screws. gently caress Sony.

I don't work for pictures (thankfully) or any of the electronics people. In fact, I kind of got sold along with the hardware from my previous no longer existing employer. Sony paid well for the company, not so much for me.

I can just say, please make harder passwords you wouldn't BELIEVE how easy it is to get into peoples accounts if they have easy passwords, if you make a difficult password along with the password being salted by the site it'll be a lot harder to crack the account. But if you just make a password like ' poop1 ' for example, your account could easily be accessed within 5 minutes. Making a difficult password makes it SIGNIFICANTLY harder to get into an account.
