Just so everyone's clear yosp didn't say anything funny or witty, he just responded to a question on whether or not Sony would ban if street fate was broken with , "no."

It is funny because it's so to the point and in such contrast to MS's nonsense.

 

[i-Lo]

That's not the point. He literally is a Jr. but it's being used in a disrespectful and condescending day.

"Woman, go do this"...well she IS a woman, right.

Talk about false equivalency. When I first joined, I got called junior quite a few times. And if you really want to know about my character, why not ask the mods, instead of being so presumptuous?

When someone talks like they have insider information, it's time to put up or shut up. It's that simple. Bish has vetted people who have made claims like that in the past and not all passed muster. It's not some opinion being thrown around in the ether rather claims of functionality and the rest of the members have full right to ask a "Junior" member, ergo, a new member about whom we know nothing about for some proof.

 

[Wynnebeck]

Why would they? They know everyone is hyped for the Basedstation 4.

Playing on the system before launch =/= leaking information on the internet

What is this from?

 

[BY2K]

Wow, the Shield/PS4 replacement is super well done!

 

[blackflag]

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

Lol petty? Really?

He answered a question. With a simple 1 word answer.....get fucking real.

Next gen has seen some amazing gifs

Quick, someone tell Skellingt0n.

 

[marc^o^]

Sony remembers the XBox love you boat, and is back with a vengeance. I love their PR team

 

[Ark]

I take back everything I said in the other thread. Now if Amazon would "accidentally" ship me my console early..

 

[shinra-bansho]

No but if you show video of games that are under strict embargos it could lead to something.

I don't understand where this embargo thing is coming from; it's in the other thread too.

As a consumer you aren't under any embargo.

If you somehow legally received COD: Ghosts online prior to release and review/presss embargo, you could post whatever you want about it.

 

[bleedsoe9mm]

Doesn't that go without saying? The vast majority of the posts in this thread are people marveling at how "easy" MS is making this for Sony. Thats not really referencing altruism.

i would say your post has nuance that most don't

 

[Tobor]

zzz

Yeah, answering tweets from your customers = desperation. Lol.

Nice edit, by the way.

 

[Twinduct]

^^^
Hah!

zzz

Nice edit.
But to answer your question, the tweet was a simple 'no' from yosp and even the question asked had zero references to the xbox banning.

 

[Myshkin]

Oh, now you want to talk Larry?

Fuck you! Grow a fucking pair and accept the consecuences of the horrible decitions your company makes.

Go easy on Larry. He's just doing a job. Like The Undertaker. And Beaver Cleavage.

 

[DieH@rd]

I didnt make this, but yeah, its awesome.

probably don't have the infrastructure to ban people.

That'll be coming in a future update

he's nothing if not an opportunist.

Very childish.

Interesting, though not completely unpredictable responses.

It's not really a leak though is it, in any normal usage of the word. These systems are out in the wild, they've been made and they're in warehouses. It just so happened one got shipped out by mistake. This isn't like Julian Assange level stuff here.

 

[TimeEffect]

But will they ban if someone shows off all the features?

That seems to be what got the guy in trouble, right?

 

[BronsonLee]

Interesting, though not completely unpredictable responses.

Sadly, yeah. You can really pick out what side everybody is on in the console war world if you pay attention

Once you signed into the Playstation Network (or XBox Live) you automatically agree to the terms of use. Hopefully Major Nelson can shine some light as to why that persons system was red-flagged (which he has said is not going to be a perma-ban).

 

[TetraGenesis]

Yeah, he shouldn't have responded (like he does to practically everyone) with a simple one-word negative. How petty.

 

[Sub_Level]

Sony REALLY wants me to buy a PS4

Spoiler

and it's working

What on earth does the terms of service of their online networks have to do with press embargoes on information?

Embargoes, as far as I know, often aren't even contractual arrangements. They are adhered to by media due to the potential to lose access to future information.

They have nothing to do with the current situation.

 

[Black-Box]

But will they ban if someone shows off all the features?

That seems to be what got the guy in trouble, right?

I think people can get banned for playing a game online before it is released.

 

[Live Free or Die]

Amazing simply amazing.

 

[MThanded]

Sony don't care.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Playing on the system before launch =/= leaking information on the internet

Playing the console UI and games and storefront as intended isn't "leaking information", the Xbox is not the freaking NSA. The dashboard is not the script to the newest Tarantino film. Call of Duty is already out.

 

[IchigoSharingan]

If Sony doesn't run away with next gen race something is wrong with gamers they are doing everything right...

I expect a PS2 blowout..MS and Ninty will launch new system in 4-5 years...

oh? you sense it too?

 

[Louis Cyphre]

What on earth does the terms of service of their online networks have to do with press embargoes on information?

The guy uploaded video to YouTube and was signed into his account while doing so. Regardless, it will not be a permaban.

 

[sixteen-bit]

MS fucking up all the way to the finish line with these gaffes

 

[hohoXD123]

He's revealing information which MS has decided to keep private and away from the general public for the time being.

Playing the console UI and games and storefront as intended isn't "leaking information", the Xbox is not the freaking NSA. The dashboard is not the script to the newest Tarantino film. Call of Duty is already out.

If through doing so he is presenting to the public information which MS hasn't revealed already and wanted to keep private for now then he is leaking information.

 

[ConteZero76]

Yosp master troll.

 

[MaulerX]

Playing the console UI and games and storefront as intended isn't "leaking information", the Xbox is not the freaking NSA. The dashboard is not the script to the newest Tarantino film. Call of Duty is already out.

But posting pics of how many people are playing any given game is sorta leaking information. Considering the only people playing are internal Microsoft beta testers.

 

[Bad_Boy]

He's revealing information which MS has decided to keep private and away from the general public for the time being.

He didn't do anything wrong. He got his xbox all legal. No crime committed. There shouldn't be any punishment for it.

 

[Hexa]

Garo Makai Senki.
Like power rangers but more badass.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

He would have no way of knowing about an embargo, because he didn't sign an NDA.

The ban comes across as coming from a bunch of robots.

I can't tell if this is a serious post or not.

 

[hohoXD123]

I agree, whether MS was right to ban him or not is a different argument entirely. I'm just saying that the question that yosp is replying to and the situation with what MS did are completely different.

He would have no way of knowing about an embargo, because he didn't sign an NDA.

The ban comes across as coming from a bunch of robots.



I can't tell if this is a serious post or not.

Even if he was clueless about embargoes, he would still be leaking information albeit unknowingly. Again, whether MS was right to ban him or not is a different matter.

 

[shinra-bansho]

The guy uploaded video to YouTube and was signed into his account while doing so. Regardless, it will not be a permaban.

I'm really confused as to what you're talking about now. :/

You went from posting a passage from the PSN ToS that wouldn't have been violated.
To saying that what he did would violate press embargoes.
To saying that by signing onto PSN you agree to their ToS, which has nothing to do with press embargoes.
To saying that he uploaded a video while signed into his Live account - as if that's supposed to either violate a ToS or press embargo, not that the latter applies to a consumer anyway?

 

[Bad_Boy]

People defending the ban remind me of the cop defenders when there is obvious police brutality. Of course not as serious, but I can't help but notice the similarity.

 

[REV 09]

I'm beginning to think Sonys pr strategy for the hardcore market is reading Gaf and responding quickly.

 

[meppi]

One of the reasons I've been coming back around on Sony this past year.
They certainly seem to have learned a lot from this past gen, cast aside the arrogance which they used to revel in and simply do the right thing and have the right people in the right places.

Hope it stays this way.

 

[Night Angel]

sony got there network brought down for over a month because of a bad decision , people have put them on such a pedestal , its going to be a long crash to the ground when it happens . not that i claim ms is any better . confusing a good pr campaign with actual altruism is big mistake .

How is this crap relevant? Their network being brought down by external sources has exactly nothing to do with this situation. Also, they have everyone games to make up for it, so at least they tried. I don't remember getting much of anything from MS when Live went down (though obviously it never went down for such a long time). Seems like you might be a bit salty, friend.

But I digress. Good on Sony for being clear about this.

Edit: Aaaand he's gone. Guess that's that. Onward, thread!
