Epic Default Productions

Dear Sony:

Thank you again for the lovely Playstation 3. I confess, you guys came up with a heck of a scheme to sell them. $250 Playstations? Even I couldn’t resist, and while I’ll be paying off and closing my Sony Card the moment the first bill arrives, you still have to be praised for a clever hook.

Now, I understand you folks have to drum up certain technologies, specifically Blu-Ray. You guys spent a lot of money on developing it, marketing it, and paying movie studios to drop HD-DVD (yeah, you claim otherwise, but it’s still pretty suspicious). It’s natural for you to call Blu-Ray releases to my attention — indeed, I am intrigued by the prospect of seeing some films in high-definition.

Just try to know your audience, okay? Mention Serenity, or The Dark Knight, or Sin City, or even Hackers, and I’ll probably be intrigued enough to pick up a Blu-Ray Disc. However, there are some films which I doubt really gain anything out of the 1080p, full-surround experience, indeed, it’s questionable that the directors considered these movies to be big-screen pictures.

Simply put, Step Brothers is not going to convince me to go Blu-Ray.

Just, you know, try a little harder. You’ll seperate me from more of my money one of these times, I’m sure.

Still not buying a PSP,
