Looks like Sony's done such a great job at screwing themselves, that they even inspired songs

It's all too familiar to everyone and especially PlayStation fans that Sony's kind of failing them more and more as they release a new game, console or make statements regarding their services. Sony has a good thing going with the still pricey PS3 and the services available with it, but they didn't exactly know how to dose their availability, terms
and price (like not making PlayStation Store available for a dozen countries). They did the same with the few titles they exclusively made available with the PS3 console, like Killzone 2, which is currently being worked on by more than 120 game developers, trying to make it suck less than the first Killzone did.

Now, someone made a brilliant video complete with song, dedicated to Sony and its mistakes regarding the gaming division mostly, also screwing with official statements coming from Sony spokesmen, that mainly consist of uhs and ehs between words. You have the video below to watch, listen and laugh. What caught my attention in particular is that seeing every little mistake Sony did over the last two years, I kind of changed my perspective towards the PlayStation franchise.

I began to realize that Sony doesn't stand much taller than any other games and console making company. Statements coming from Sony officials really do sound like that. How do you feel as a $600 PS3 owner, when Sony officials say: our service is great and all, "but as to specific plans and features, we have no comments to make"? A giant like Sony should have no difficulty in getting their s**t together and giving fans what they want and need for their PS3, yet they can't. Why? Because they're no different.
