Now that the hands-on xflop 1.5 full circle pre-launch has had the
impact of a wet dog turd hitting a dusty road, the negative attacks and
blatant lying rumor-mongering against the PS3 by the xflop fanfairies
will greatly increase. Just in the past few days, since the xflop 1.5
full circle kiosks have started going up (and being met with some
really lukewarm or outright disappointed testimonials), we now have:
1. A website dedicated to the PS3 "Grillstation". This took a lot of
time, effort and money on someone's part, even though it is so patently
stupid. It is also interesting that the "grillstation" came up AFTER it
was noted the xflop 1.5 full circle case looks very similar to a Dell
Optiplex. The really stupid part is if you see pictures of an actual
George Foreman Grill, it is only by the furthest stretch of a deranged
mind that it looks anything like a PS3.
2. The rumor, or more accurately, planted lie within the past few hours
is that the PS3 is going to cost $1000.
3. The planted lie from yesterday is that the PS3 won't be backward
compatible. The reason for this one is so transparent since we already
know which box is definitely not showing any backward compatibility,
because it is not important, because it is important, because it is not
important, because it is important, ad nauseum.
4. Another new lie from yesterday is that the PS3 Blu-Ray will be
crippled because that was the only way it could be affordable enough to
be included. You will start noticing these lies start contradicting
each other. On one hand, the PS3 has to be really expensive because of
Blu-Ray but on the other hand, the Blu-Ray has to be crippled to make
it affordable on the PS3.
These are just the planted lies within the past few days. Expect them
to become more outlandish and nasty over the next few weeks. That is
the really big problem with Micro$haft and the xflop. Their business
tactic is that they have to crush and destroy, to use very dirty trick
in the book. They are not able to stand on the merits and capabilities
of the system and its titles, so all they have left is the cowardly
back-stabbing, lying, below the belt attacks and so on. These tactics
seem to be coming straight from the top, Balmer and Allard mainly.
Moore and Bach don't seem like really nasty personalities. So, just
expect this to escalate. The xflop 1.5 full circle will initially sell
quite a few units but the luster is going to fall off quick. What is
happening now is like a wounded mad dog. All it knows is that it is
hurting and it is going to attack.
