I’m not sure if this is good news (long term) or bad news (in that it means that if they’re talking about it openly, they really screwed the pooch) for the PS3 – it may be good, because the first step to fixing a mistake is to admit that it exists…
Sony’s Phil Harrison told Eurogamer’s Rob
Fahey, "we have overreached in production of the Blu-Ray component – I
can’t deny that"."But that’s the price you pay for adopting
brand new, leading-edge technologies that will be future proof. We will
resolve those issues – we are already catching up."
Well, at least they admit that they made mistakes in the Great 3rd Generation Console War … which is more than we’ll get out of the current national gummint or its minions regarding Iraq, etc. Anyway, the HDMI and diode issues still, to me, seem to be the least of the problems with the console. The biggest is that it is way, way late. The most insidious is the way that the music/movie/content guys have freaked all over the map and insisted on installing Crippleware so that nobody can pirate off the platform. Never mind that the Crippleware is going to mean that nobody’s going to bother to try to pirate the content, since the experience is so shitty that nobody’s going to want to deal with it anyway. Like the greatest roller-coaster ride in the world … only, in addition to paying through the nose for a ticket, you are required to chug down a bucket of watery shit before getting on the ride…
