    Sony's new found popularity really amazing. It's like she's the fat girl who dropped 50 pounds in highschool over the summer. And all of a sudden started dating the highschool quarterback. And now everyone wants her. But can she deal with the new found popularity? Watch and see! #playstation3

    @karaiya: Well seeing that Sony pretty much had the market on lock down until the 360 came out, i'm pretty sure they are experienced enough to handle it.

    Story rephrase: Sony was the hottest girl in school. Some new hot chick strolled in, took her man but really was cheap, shoddy, and broken. Now Sony is the hottest again, but can the guy and her make it work again? #playstation3

    New PS3 Slim ad campaign:
    "It does everything"

    YET...

    -Loss of PS2 Backwards Compatibility.
    -Loss of being able to add a Linux OS to the system.

    @Soldier_CLE: it does everything that a modern console does or should do, and unless you want the price to jump back to 300$ BC is gone for good.
    the least you can expect is for PS2 re-releases on PS3.

    @Soldier_CLE: I can see about crying over BC--although I still they they'll add that in--but, as a day-1 PS3 owner--you ain't missing much with Linux--when you installed it you could only code for the Cell Processor, not the GPU, so it wasn't like a true dev-kit or Yarouze set up unfortunately.

    If Slim's had BC I'd be tempted to upgrade--my friend got one and those things are WAY sexier in person than in video/photo. #playstation3

    @Soldier_CLE: 1. I'm guessing less than 5% of users actually even messed with linux on the PS3. 2. Loss of backwards compatibility... You've got a point there but it's clear that sony is either A. trying to do it a cheaper way or B. trying to charge for digital downloading PS2 games. There's no other reason they would file a patent for using the emotion engine with the cell. My bets on them charging for ps2 games digitally as this would mesh together well with their all digital PSP strategy. Only time will tell. #playstation3

    @Witzbold: You realise that this is a NEXT GEN console for NEXT GEN games?
    If you want to play your PS2 games buy PS2 (If it sells there is no reason for Sony to make backwards compat, whine as much as you want) if you don't... Just wait till there will be a release in PSN. Games will be in 60 frames per second with HD. Because PS2 games look not so well on HD screen.

    There is no reason for Sony to do it, when PS2 sells and when they can put them to PSN. But if you want to play PS2 games so much. Buy PS2. Simple math. #playstation3

    @marvin_rock: My gripe about the issue came from having known students that actually used Linux on a gamesystem that succesfully managed to use OpenOffice on it, and then have print ability to use on a class that I've teached about two quarters ago.

    It is a valid thing to contend. While most of us (including myself) have desktops and laptops that run one, two or more operating systems on a multiboot scheme, there are some out there that afford far less. Two students I've known of from my Ohio State class used the linux build on a Playstation 3 to do their work.

    I wonder how many more would've benefitted? #playstation3

    @Soldier_CLE: ps2 compatability is a big loss, but if those sega/sony leaks are any indication, it is coming back so they can sell ps2 games on the psn store. Regarding linux, who cares. it was nice to have, but utterly underused. Looked good on paper, wasn't a big selling point with consumers understandably so.

    @faviang000: It is still a misleading ad campaign that implies what it can do, with subtractions made during the making of this console.

    B/C through PSN is not bringing back a feature, but rather provisionally offering a substitute with a quid pro quo.

    Thus, the notion that B/C would come back via PSN is insincere and incomplete. #playstation3

    @Soldier_CLE: Your condescending tone doesn't make your approach or excessive manner of replying to everyone in separate replies any less wrong.

    I only say this because I find you replying to every single post baffling as a tactic here. Really, unless you are trying to get across that you are /that/ passionate about backwards compatibility in your PS3 (which if that was the case, buying the system while it was still available would've been a smart option), then congrats. If there's any shred of you that really doesn't care about it, though, I can't see what the point is of wasting your time just replying to everyone that posted here in such a rigorous manner.

    At ease, Soldier.

    @Soldier_CLE: I think by the way you have been shouting every one else down its pretty obvious to everyone.

    Anyway on your point that it doesn’t do everything or even everything that the old one does. Remember it is only a light heart advert designed to get your interest if it gets enough of your interest then the wise thing to do (as when buying anything) it to look into the product. Sony hasn’t hid the fact that BC and Linux were removed.

    I think form your view point on this if you watch a days adverts on TV and buy some of the stuff based on all their claims you’re probably going to end up on very disappointed and disillusioned guy! Maybe that’s already happened

    and i dont think am the only one that finds ending your replys with "Nice try, son" to seem very condescending

    @WereNotBrazil:

    Not dignifying the "red herring of 'shouting' (which is still unsubstantiated):

    What is implied in the commercial is actually able to be construed as a "false advertising" concept, especially since it does less than previous models and makes of the Playstation 3 systems.

    Lighthearted or not, it is negligent. Your subjective approach still fails the approach of what is substatiated in previous "stare decisis" to similar claims, where companies were found frivolous via ad campaign claims. As for the use of the word "son", that's fine if you find it condescending.

    @Soldier_CLE: "shouting everyone down" was a figure of speech used to point out the number of comment by you on this subject compared to comments by others.

    If you really feel this strongly about it I suggest your time would be better spent building you case and suing Sony.

    I would conclude though, looking at this comment thread, that the vast majority of people do not see the things you mention as a big deal (this does not mean that they aren’t to you). I would then class this advert as a success on Sony’s part I believe they have made the vast majority of people chuckle while I admit they may have annoyed a minority with there "It Only Does Everything" slogan. However as the saying goes you have got to break a few eggs to make a cake #playstation3

    @WereNotBrazil: With all due respect, "Appeal to the crowd" is hardly a sound argument.

    Your assertion that I should sue SONY might not be necessary, either. Generally, within 180 days of an assertion, class action lawsuits come from cases like this. I won't have to life a finger, aside from adding my signature to the list.

    The term I believe you meant to say is "brow beat", which could be contended with the barrage of replies. I will, however, assert that I find it more courteous to reply individually. Blanket statements are generic to me, and often leave room for mitigation within another's argument.

    Perhaps it's best to say that we "agree to disagree"? #playstation3

    In the collegiate world, "Appeal to the crowd" is a logical fallacy derived from gathering from the peanut gallery in attempt to persuade others into believing that it is a valid argument.

    It is not spam when they are replys to those who reply to me.

    Frankly, I don't care if you approve of my postings or their tone, as it is insignificant. I really don't care if anyone else approves, for that matter. But they do fall within the guidelines. I do not use ad-hominems and if I do quibble on here, it does nothing to endanger my status on here, which is also insignificant when one realizes that anyone can post on here. It certainly doesn't take much. Afterall, you post on here, right?

    This is a conscious decision. It's branding. How many times do you see Microsoft use its name in Xbox 360 ads? They don't want people to think of the Xbox 360 as being from the same people who make Windows and MS Office.
