I found this thread today, well done to all involved. Thought I'd try to do my bit.

Has anyone contacted the British haterags yet? Haven't got time to do it myself at the moment, perhaps tomorrow, but if anyone is willing, below are the emails of their various news departments:

Daily Mail: news@d*ailymail.co.uk (had to put the asterisk in as the DM is blocked)
The Mail on Sunday: news@mailonsunday.co.uk
The Sun: talkback@the-sun.co.uk
Daily Mirror: mirrornews@mirror.co.uk
London Evening Standard: news@standard.co.uk
Daily Star: news@dailystar.co.uk
Daily Express: news.desk@express.co.uk
Daily Telegraph: dtnews@telegraph.co.uk
Sunday Telegraph: stnews@telegraph.co.uk
The Times: home.news@thetimes.co.uk / business@thetimes.co.uk
Daily Record: reporters@dailyrecord.co.uk
Sunday Mail: reporters@sundaymail.co.uk
Independent (and i): newseditor@independent.co.uk
Financial Times: ean@ft.com


Obviously the approach to some of those will need to be different, the trashy end I would play up the Big Brother nature of the One and how Sony might be following suit etc., whereas the more serious papers would probably appreciate a more level headed approach illustrating the fears and drawbacks.

Really Good Stuff! I'm from the US.. not very familiar with these papers. So, I'll deffer to UK GAF. However, should push come to shove, I'll help.

Did a couple of tweets about the website today just to keep the hashtag going if Sony people are keeping an eye on it :)

Keep the hashtag going and keep it up with microsoft and publishers if you want. But we are trying to give sony's guys a break so we don't chase them off twitter forever... and so they will be there when we make a second concentrated push this coming wednesday.

Someone mentioned something about michael pachter preditions. Don't know, I'm new to twitter. Kinda seemed like they were promoting something that wasn't about the topic. Sorry if wrong.

I see what you are saying. I don't use twitter either, so I'm with you on that.

On the one hand, someone trying to use the publicity of this campaign to promote their own stuff is indeed shady. On the other hand, there are people who are including the hashtag in all of their tweets in order to keep the topic alive. I'll defer to someone who knows more about this stuff.

6 years of waiting, just to say nothing.

At least he had the honor of getting banned by Bish on his first post. Not many people can say that. Or well... we wouldn't know if they did due to them being banned and all.

2) Will games need to be registered online in order to use them the first time out?

UPDATE: Question #2 actually had been answered by Sony. And we'd reported it: "At a roundtable this morning, Sony's game studios chief, Shuhei Yoshida, told reporters that any requirement for users to register a game online in order to play it would be left to game publishers. Sony won't require that." (Emphasis added.) Apologies for missing that during our attempts to clarify just how similar or dissimilar Sony's next-gen policies are from Microsoft's.

*Huff huff* Just finished reading this thread, it went so out of control that it took a long time to catch up with XD

You guys did an amazing job with getting other sites involved. I'll use those hashtags later today and will tweet sony guys on the 5th of June along with the rest. I'd love to get my avatar all no drm'ed as well if there's someone who wants to do it for me and is good at this.

Yeah I'm happy (mostly) everyone we've tweeted took it well and didn't become (too) annoyed by our doing heh.

Well looks like it's up to the publishers, I think that was the best we could hope for. But I don't think it is as bad as it sounds since I have a hard time seeing publishers (other than EA) setting up these systems that MS have already given them on Xbone.

That info's a few months old now, it's from the PS4 reveal. Anything is fair game at this point.
