One of my older computers is participating in the program. This is just more SONY hype.

I think folks are in for a surprise when SONY crashes and burns this generation. They've had so many manufacturing problems this time around that the PS3 is TOO scarce. Sony loses money on each console, so in order to keep its gaming division afloat they need to make money on games. The problem is that with such scarcity the install base is too small for developers to make any money on the games they develop because the costs for developing for the PS3 are much more than they are for the 360 or the Wii. This starts a vicious cycle in which developers end up not developing for the PS3 and Sony's gaming division continues to lose money. Sony needs to get its act together NOW before it's too late.

Sony thinks their PS3 product is "art" not just a game.

Sony has bludered yet again.

Have they ever released anything that they have held onto as leader? It seems everything they have done has been immitated and been done better by their competition.
