"Sony says the next generation starts when they say so - bullshit!"

Quoth the Rein. I'm covering this because everyone is in a huge tizzy because he said horsepucky to Sony. Let's hop in the Flashback Cadillac and revisit our friend Mark's various statements over the past year.

In this old interview he talks about wanting to get game prices down to the price of DVDs. He hates second hand games, saying that tech support was being wasted on people who didn't actually pay the company for the game, and that the secondhand games market was driving up the firsthand prices.

He was then booed at the Develop Conference this July for sputtering derisively about episodic content, which usually cost about as much as a DVD and cannot be secondhanded at all.

So forgive me, if whenever Rein unbuttons his lip, I roll my eyes so hard my sinuses grind together. Eliza Gauger
