It will be grossly mis-managed, too expensive and will also be impractical and undoubtedly delayed. You have lost your fanbase Playstation. All is lost. This venture is doomed to failure.

Well, if you're all gonna complain, who am I to argue? Wipeout is indeed late. Someone else is getting a movie download service before us, though like others, I have found an alternative source (but unlike many, I do make a bluray purchase if the flic was any good! DVD is dead for me now!) Any news on the DRM that will be included on these downloaded films? Can I copy them off my PS3 to an alternative digital storage device, to free up what is bound to be a dwindling HDD capacity? What sort of exclusive releases can we expect from Sony? Music festivals or concerts not available on other media? And just to add my own weight to the DualShock argument. WTF? Sony Europe are certainly doing a good job of narking everybody. Well, not everybody, because some people aren't interested in exploring what the rest of the world is getting, and so know no differently. Shame on them. On a more positive note, I finally thumped my cash down, and purchased a Sony 40x3000, giving my poor 32"CRT to my bro. I nearly pooped when I saw what I have been missing. Those without HD screens, I don't think you quite realise how special your gaming and movie watching can be! And finally, to finish off, may I remind you that it's Friday. Woo Hoo! Whine whine whine.

It works fantastically (for me) with no lag and I hightly recommend it. Plus it's free!!! @3

EU want's better treatment, EU generates more revenue for Sony than NA and yet we are treated like 2nd rate consumers. It stinks in my opinion.
