The Importance of Being Idle

Hello Pot? This Is Kettle...

I just read the most ludicrous thing ever. Well, no not the most ludicrous thing ever, but yet another entry in Sony's long list of stupid things to say and do whilst launching the PS3. Apparently one of their head guys over in Australia said that he thought the Wii was "a little pricey" and that the Xbox360, although more reasonable "still a bit pricey". Apparently in Sony land the £425 for a PS3 is entirely reasonable (in fact one of their minions described it as a bargain, quite unsurprisingly), whereas the £180 for a Wii is altogether too much. In fact after a mere two minutes web searching I've tracked down a deal where I could get a Premium 360 (with Gears of War) AND a Nintendo Wii for the princely sum of £440, just fifteen pounds more than the Sony effort. I wonder which one I'd prefer to spend my money on...
In other bizarre news, a Sony exec stated that they expected to be moving to digital content delivery within the next five years, rendering that oh so expensive and unnecessary blu-ray drive that Sony think is so neat completely redundant half-way through the machines predicted life span.
I love those guys. Just imagine what they'd be like if they actually had a plan...
