Neo003 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Buying stuff like that online would die down eventually, it?s new and fresh but after you spend like $30.00 to $40.00 bucks you realize that it's just not worth it. Just look what happen to 360, theme and gamerpic etc they put everything on sale and I rarely see anyone with a gamerpic which was bought. I understand Sony has to generate money somehow, since they aren't charging for PSN and the cost of developing home.

Sethos Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Microsoft "will not be using Home" Microsoft has dismissed reports that it's planning to use Sony's PS3 virtual world Home to host business meetings."Microsoft will not be using Home as a tool for virtual meetings," the company told us following a recent report to the contrary. Last week GAAP claimed MS would be one of a number of big companies using Home for meetings in a bid to reduce costs and carbon emissions, but according to the platform holder it's perfectly capable of staging its own virtual bashes. "With fantastic Microsoft-developed products and applications like Live Meeting and even Xbox Live Party, we have everything we need to host a virtual meeting in-house," it said. We were sceptical about the original report, and clearly with good reason.

Sethos Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 LMFAO, why would they use home anyway?! Would probably be like 2 hours of; "Hey can you guys hear me?" "You are breaking up" "Should be fixed now, welcome to our first business meeting within Playstat ..." "WHAT?" "Someone is pumping in my face, could we get rid of him?" "Where did John go?" "John got disconnected" "Where did Sarah go?"

So what is your problem now? This has absolutely nothing to do with Apple, why even bother bringing them up? No problem at all. Just a friendly discussion. When you claim that MS are the godfathers (and you did originally) of software, that brings all software houses into the discussion as they are very much linked. I just stated my opinion that Apple are by far the most advanced software/hardware house and I would class them and Unix as the godfathers. If you don't want to discuss that's fine.
