This thing went all night long... ?
So, you're trying to call me out for a permaban bet and now you're quoting someone else and saying I did something??
Permaban bets are the height of ass stupidity, so you'll pardon me for not participating. In fact, I'd lean towards banning folks just for thinking they can somehow force moderation by betting accounts, but my role isn't one of being the hammer, traditionally.
My point wasn't that it wasn't possible that Sony might do another sku. The point is that the bet itself and the promotion of the bet are worth their weight in gold to Microsoft. FUD isn't about lies, it's about exactly what it says "Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt".
Ozy is hoping that people look at this and say
"OH TEH NOES. LOLLERS PS3 loses BC. It's no better than the 360."
or
"No reason to buy one now, it's going to be $399 in the fall"
or
"Look how desperate things are for the PS3. It's doing so badly that I guarantee they'll be forced to drop the price again, and they'll still lose out to the 360. Time to jump off the ship."
Sorry, if it's not clear to you what FUD means. It's a technique that's been used in all industries for a long time. It works because it has some leg in reality, but then twists the argument. It's the twin brother of Spin.
