@Yosp: Sony won't ban you for connecting before launch

They will only sue your asses, leaving you with such a great debt that you are stripped of everything you own. Your daughters have no house to live in anymore, no shelter for the cold and wet winter that is coming up, and it's all your fault. Just because you wanted to play your PS4 a little early.
 
Yeah just like Stinkles helped the guy whose console got banned for playing Halo 4 early. I'll believe it when I see it.
Yeah. That was fucked up for Skellington. But MS were in a much stronger "Don't give a fuck" position with the 360 than they are leading up to launch with the Xbone. And Skellington's situation didn't get anywhere near the exposure this guy is getting. I'm sure MS will do the right thing for the sake of much needed good PR.
 
It was funny the first time.

Now it's just lame.

If I ever post something in Japanese which I don't understand, please BAN me.
Welp Goku's power level sure isn't over 9000.

He got banned.

sadly it was when he started to upload stuff and tweet about it.

copyright stuff.

but nobody asked yosp that and it was a cheap and lazy chance for some pr again for sony.

so you get console you paid for and you shouldnt talk about it? Thats stupidest thing i ever heard.

Buyer did not sign any NDA, he ordered and got the console... banning him is utter stupidity. But hey, MS has been doing that for all of this year - being stupid.

There is nothing cheap or lazy about yosp response - he answered "no" to the question if Sony would ban the console - and in fact, Sony does not ban consoles like MS does, they simply have different policies in place.
 
Now let's put this to the test!

Everyone! Let's put together a Fast & Furious crew to attack PS4 shipments~! :p

Oh god don't do this
 
Shouldn't it be:

Kutaragi => Kaz ?

or to be more accurate:

Kutaragi => Howard => Kaz
As in Stringer?

Kutaragi was CEO of SCE, not Sony as a whole. Technically it's Kutaragi => Hirai => House. Kutaragi was "kicked upstairs" shortly after the PS3 launch, and rightly so considering how much of a disaster the system was. I was just taking the pre-PS3 and current people.

Just to play Devils Advocate

What MS was totally crap, but the tweet does mention Europe, why on earth would Sony ban someone from showing off the console early in Europe, it is already out in US, and there will be floods of videos..

The question is wrong, it should of been based on US release date

So you would prefer the person continue to have his console banned? If a community person can resolve it so the person can keep using his Xbox, so much the better. You can still continue bitching at Microsoft.

They are playing it cool and really benefiting from Microsoft's mistakes. This is all really just window dressing because come launch and then on out that's when things really start to matter. If Microsoft can roll out the XBox One with little hiccups and the PS4 is a mess or it doesn't work like we thought or things are not ready nobody will even care about this. Of course if the XBox One is a disaster at launch I'm not sure how they will recover.

Sony is just waiting doing almost nothing than regular PR and marketing , MS is scared so anything that creates controversy need to be fixed asap. As you say Sony is just benefiting from MS mistakes, its an easy game but after launch there will be another kind of "battle". I bet Sony at this moment plans to move all the PS4 they can due to the "good image" momentum they have if they succeeds will be hard to MS to recover, specially in the U.S.

I guess I'm the only one who doesn't find this awesome. Kinda think its petty and a little silly to be honest.

Someone's asking if they'd be banned for using their console in the eventuality of an early shipment. Yoshida says no.

That's petty?

I think you got it wrong here. What's petty and silly is to ban someone because Target dun goofed.
 
what kind of heartless monster answers twitter questions?

The same heartless monsters that post on here.

I reached out to him and I'll get this sorted out. His console will not be permabanned that is for sure.

Sony also has the luxury of having a less than stellar launch because demand is so high. Microsoft will have to work harder and to me that's actually good. It took a couple of years to get Sony into gear after the PS3 came out and the media handed them there ass too and look at how they turned things around. Hopefully Microsoft will too but I also don't want Sony to relax either.
 
probably don't have the infrastructure to ban people.

That'll be coming in a future update

Holy shit. Exactly what I was thinking, as a joke obviously, but damn haha.

This is good because it seemed really cold to be in a position where he's getting punished for being an excited fan of the platform.
