- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen

Sony has always screwed consumers. No idea why anyone buys their products anyway
Remember when Universal Media Discs were not universal and only worked on PSP?
I remember when I got a PSP in middle school, I thought everything was going to start using UMDs eventually since they were "universal".
Everything about the PSP looked so high tech because it could display graphics close to PS2 quality, played tiny disks, had a wide screen, and somehow fit 32 whole megabites on a little memory card.
I mean, not always. They mostly did away with bullshit proprietary connectors, did away with their proprietary flash memory cards, and didn't form a walled garden as putrid as that of Apple.
That being said, nothing is the same anymore. Digital everything will take over, because it's just cheaper to not burn disks.
Uuuhm, not quite. The Playstation ecosystem absolutely is a walled garden. Their proprietary flash memory cards aren't a thing anymore because they failed to win against more open standards (SD, microSD) and it would've been super expensive to stick with it on their own for no good reason.
They installed those rootkits out of the goodness of their hearts, dammit, they cared about us the whole time and we never showed our appreciation and now look where it got us
Maybe David Manning of the Ridgefield Press can write a story about how unfairly maligned Sony is.
