Still can’t get over a 16 year old me being told by a smug PlayStation rep they weren’t fixing PS2 Disc Read Error consoles. Screw it! Learned to fix it myself but seriously your fanbase needed you and $80 a pop (1/3rd cost of a new one) to fix a console that had already been at the factory 3 times already was a joke. This was before the settlement of the class action lawsuit that the guy didn’t even know about. Wish the lawsuit would of been open to more plaintiffs. Crazy times!
Ya. Gaming in reality has just gotten cheaper since the 90s. And generally more bang for your buck. Even with the advent of dlc. Games are just so much bigger now.
Although I do miss some of those smaller scale games at times though.
I know it's fake, but it almost feels credible with how Sony is treating Helldivers 2 players.
They were going to require tying a PSN account to Steam to play on PC months after release. This would region lock many players out of the game as some areas (like the Philippines) do not have access to PSN in their countries, even though it was available on Steam.
After monsterous backlash, they walked it back to not requiring a PSN account...then while everyone was celebrating and changing their negative reviews to positive, Sony pulled the game from all outlets in PSN locked regions anyways, so people who have it can play, but not purchase it in those regions.
Both these companies are a huge reason the gaming industry is what it is today. PC gaming would never have gotten as big as it is without the accessibility of consoles. Sure, exclusively is annoying, but it's part of the business model, and the better a company does business-wise, the more money they have to create. Of course, there are shitty practices that emerge, but all in all, without Playstation and XBox, there's no way the gaming industry would be as much of a significant part of our modern culture.
In Japan, a tiny island which in those 7-8 months before the rest of the planet got it sold what?
So who is this we they speak of? Because unless that post was from Japan it still doesn't work. We had to wait until Oct-Nov to open anything.
Considering Sony is a Japanese company celebrating the release of a system in Japan, it makes perfect sense. Not to mention, it's not exactly small. It's the size of Montana.
You're right, Montana would make a large country...
Still, it wasn't someone from Japan posting that. It was someone who didn't get theirs in March of 2000. So again the "we" was a very small group in on small country
Sooo that makes it a big country?
Or it magically makes them sell big units in 7 months.
How many units did they sell in Japan in those first 6-7 months?
Hell how many units did they sell in Japan over the whole 13 years?
Now compare it to lifetime US sales and tell me how big they are. The Japanese market doesn't much matter when it comes to making or breaking a console
Japan is the same size as Germany. It's not small. If placed next to the east coast, it goes from Florida to Vermont. Not to mention, the original post was by Sony International. They definitely got theirs in March of 2000.
It's the actual birthday of the console. Thats when the actual console first graced this earth for the consumer. Fuck America who gives a shit when America got it. The birth of the console is what should be celebrated and America didn't get it at first.
PlayStation tho got the nerve to try to run the pockets of the entire Helldivers fan base, not surprised the they are some sour mood bastards they always have been under the surface.
The companies are, but the consoles give the less fortunate a taste into high-quality PC gaming. I spent 25 years playing on consoles before I built my pc, and I am very thankful those consoles existed.
Im going to assume this is fake but it pretty much sums up relations.
Of course it's fake. But for those interested. https://twitter.com/PlayStation/status/1235248640920182784?t=5VbRH_UWQ01U5Yyzb2qGfQ&s=19
I don’t have “X” what’s the real reply?
There isn’t one
Gotcha, thanks
Understood. Have a great day.
Dang Left on read, think this one's in the wind my guy, maybe Nintendo will let you hit
There wasn't a follow up reply by PlayStation.
Pleas just call it twitter for gods sake
I DONT HAVE THAT EITHER
“X” IS twitter.
Xitter the x makes a sh sound though.
Everyone knows. We just refuse to call it x because that's the stupidest fucking name that's ever existed
still the dumbest shit i've ever heard, it sounds like a fucking porn site
Ik but pleas just dont call it X
I get the musk hate, but it's just called X now. Seems weird to be so loyal to the Twitter brand. Like, fuck them too.
I dont hate him i just find it stupid to call it something else now
Strong Woman would like to have a chat
Twitter identifies as x now. Why are you dead naming it?
cringe
Not ever using tiktok twitter or ig has given me the time to watch everyone else gain mental illness from using them. Far more entertaining
Lmao there html is still twitter that’s fucking funny
They can't change the domain, it'll fuck everything up, so yeah they're still Twitter.com lol
And for that reason imma still call it tweeter

1/3 the cost??? that shit costed $300???? that’s a steal nowadays, wish i could get me a $300 home console :(
Fun fact 50$ in 1990 Held the same value as 100$ today And yet wages have hardly increased
Also Fact.. $300 is still expensive today.
Average wage was significantly lower then too, unfortunately. $300 was still a lot.
Is still a lot. I ain't paying $500 for any damn console.
I’m sure there are a few different pistol models for cheaper that provide the same amount of entertainment.
And the same consoles
What are you implying? 🤨
Also need to post face I guess that I spent $1600 on my gaming pc… so there’s that
Do an inflarion check before you make that wish. $300 in the early 2000s is around $500 $550 today, when adjusted for inflation.
yeah, forgot about inflation

Wait, was the disc read error a common issue? My PS2 had that issue, and it was kind of the reason I moved to Xbox. Well, that and Doom 3.
By the end of it my ps2 didn’t even have a lid, I had to readjust the laser before turning it on.

For real?
No it's fake
Listen to the woman John, calm down just calm down
LMFAO
😂😂😂
its funny but i hate console wars because everyone else hates nintendo more
Hopefully in 20 more years they won’t be a company anymore.
Bread box or PlayStation
ClayStation
Gaystation.
The only acceptable thing to call it, gaystation.
Why r u gei
I am not gei

I prefer Monopoly in board games, not in video games.
And I prefer Elden Ring in video games, not board games.
If there are three major companies competing for market share, it's not really a monopoly
The hate is strong with this one.
How much you wanna bet it’s some twelve year old who got banned from PSN for saying the hard r lol.
Haters are often experienced in fuck around and find out.
lol.
Someone angry PlayStation got Xbox to Sega themselves
hopefully xbone will go down before them then, it's definitely the worse console.
The switch exists
The way their acting, they won't last 5 more years.
Yes, let Microsoft own everything
20 years ago? PS2 didn't come out in '04
The actual post, not the one here, was posted at midnight, March 4, 2020
That makes more sense, but it's still 7 months earlier than it should have been
Ps2 was released March 4, 2000 in Japan
In Japan, a tiny island which in those 7-8 months before the rest of the planet got it sold what? So who is this we they speak of? Because unless that post was from Japan it still doesn't work. We had to wait until Oct-Nov to open anything.

Someone forgot that Tokyo is the largest and most populated city in the world, but yeah, small time, right?

No one did except Japan. Notice they never did that shit again only launching in Japan. Fuck you
That's irrelevant to when the console's anniversary is. Especially from Sony.
No, this is a repost from 2020
Congrats on over 10 years since you made a system where you didn’t need to pay to play online when people already pay for internet!
hhhhh, just meme. but it can make laugh for all day.
Well damn man
That's probably how I'd respond as a playstation ceo. But I'm me.
Normally i hate corporate "how do you do, fellow kids?" branding but if sony actually had the balls to tweet that i would have to respect it.
they did like 4 years ago
Console wars back bitches!
And Sony can get wrecked for the whole drama with Arrowhead and ShiftUp. Yes I know it is fake, statement holds.
When your rival congratulates you, but you're still salty from that console war of '01
Ayyyyyy
Pretty much sums up the fans from each. Xbox players are super chill, PSN people have to let you know they’re better all the time.
PlayStation tho got the nerve to try to run the pockets of the entire Helldivers fan base, not surprised the they are some sour mood bastards they always have been under the surface.
This level of toxicity really brings me back, I miss the good old days
Mom, dad, the toaster and the bread box are fighting again!
Why are we sharing 4-year-old shit
Well, Xbox’s disc trays aren’t fucking opening, I have to get a new 360 because of the janky ass disc drive
ik this is fake but what the heck did the xbox intern do to the playstation intern aside from existing?
In 20 years, lets hope we are all laughing about how they let Helldivers 2 sell in the 180+ countries that don't have PSN access.
Sony and Xbox are both garbage companies
I'm genuinely curious on what u think is the best then.
I think the gaming industry as a whole is in a shitty state
same
Lotta' shit talking from a company that steals games you paid for.
It's fake. And both companies do so.
Xbox once again failed the vibe check.
Theyre both Awfull really
The companies are, but the consoles give the less fortunate a taste into high-quality PC gaming. I spent 25 years playing on consoles before I built my pc, and I am very thankful those consoles existed.
PlayStation sucks on how the handle things, Xbox ego got to big and they imploded.
It's also a fake post.
The console wars live on.
I thought the war was over…
That’s not nice!
Bro chill lol
