Don't Mind If I Do

The Sony executive division are vying with their customer support already for November's Clueless Twat Of The Month Award.

SCE Worldwide Europe VP and asshat bullshit-monger Jamie MacDonald posits his crackhead theory that Euro gamers "don't mind [the delays]" that relegate us to third place behind Japan and the USA when it comes to console releases.

Speaking to gamesindustry.biz regarding the four month delay of the UK release of the PS3 he said:

"In Europe, it doesn't seem that the release of our platforms after the US and Japan - in the long run - affects how consumers feel."
If only people would show their disapproval with their wallets then maybe he'd get the message.

It appears that this sort of blatant fuckwittery is rife within Sony's higher echelons. Sony CEO Sir Howard Stringer expressed befuddlement regarding the delay during an announcement to Reuters, saying:

"I think the idea of worrying about a delay in PlayStation is slightly strange to me."
Our man-in-France, Monsieur RobPS2 said in response:

"Maybe if they give me a PS3 and I don't pay for it for 6 months, I could be 'befuddled' at why they want their money."

Thanks RobPS2 - you speak for us all I think.

As a long time Sony supporter, I'd like to say that as far as I'm concerned, Sony can go fuck themselves. I'm not giving them any more money, I won't be buying a PS3.

Sure, I'll play on whoever at 'Fi Club has one, but I won't be opening my wallet (or my ass hole) to them any more.

To be honest, I'm happier chowing down on this all you can eat PSP game buffet that we have stumbled into, and I'll continue doing so until this particular smorgasbord is over. Then Sony and I are done.

Clueless bastards.
