Sony says they'll make up for the money they lose with hardware sales by putting ads in the games.

Everyone is looking into it, Iwata himself said (quite clearly too) that this is an open option - although, currently, he doesn't quite see how that might actually work. But if it DOES work, and leads to increased profits, he'll do it! Just like Nintendo adopt the other pieces of the puzzle one after another, digital distribution, online24, microtransactions and so on ... ads are just one more piece. It's nothing to do with games in specific, that's just what happens when you target a larger market of a casual non-geeky/non-hardcore nature

Sony at it again. Now its the 'on the surface cheap and shallow but actually quite enjoyable and importantly with regard to this story popular' 360 Achievements

According to EGM's Dan Hsu the Sony Playstation 3 will be awarding their own version of Xbox 360 Achievements but will be calling them "entitlements."

During this week's EGM Live podcast, Hsu, the editor of EGM, said he had heard that Sony was going to call their achievements by this horrible name that could only come from the brilliant minds at Sony.

Let's start with the fact that this sounds absolutely retarded as a name. Is your screen going to flash "entitlement awarded" or something? That just sounds so robotic and stupid. Also, isn't that grammatically incorrect? Don't you have to be entitled to something?

It's also another example of a blatant ripoff of a very original idea from someone else that Sony is going to steal and try and pass off as another breakthrough for themselves.

It's really sad that a company that was great company has sunken to such depths. Maybe I'm crazy but who knows? I just know that this is a horrible name which better be changed if Sony doesn't want to have even more **** talked about them then they already are.

More stupidity on Sony's part by not having a PS1/2 memory card reader on the $600 unit. I mean since that unit will have memory card slots for everything else right?
