I just got the above in an email from PlayStation-Underground@PlayStation.sony.com

Below is what was on their website.

Being a leader in the industry is not all it's cracked up to be. Second-class competitors snipe at our every move, kids tease us about our husky silhouette, and monsters are always chapping our behind, all of which forces us to hide our sensitive side under a plucky, who-loves-ya-baby facade. And yet, in our quiet, reflective moments, we never stop wondering: Do they like us? No, really, do they like us?

Send us your comments about anything even vaguely related to the PlayStation world.

To my knowledge no "Second-class competitor" has ever issued software that deletes its user's save files.

I have nothing against the other consoles.

They're inanimate objects, what should I have against them? That the Xbox is taking up too much space in my room? That the PS2's ridiculous amount of RPGs are making me suffocate? I don't have either of these consoles, but I've played them, I like them, I'll continue to play them whenever get an opportunity, and the people who hate the other consoles just because of their physical appearance and/or quality of the games are just as twisted as my orange cat who thinks she's a dog.

Sorry, just had to rant a bit there.

Oh, and about that glitch, that stinks. Too bad the people who got the demo had all their stuff erased.

If something like that happened to my GC I would cry for a week.  No make that a year.  I really feel for them (the Play Stationians), even though I don't own one.  Do you think... perhaps Nintendo bribed Capcom to do that intentionally so people would trust GC more?! (bad joke)

On November 21st, Nintendo will unleash the greatest handheld system on America that this world has ever seen.  Two screens, two extra buttons, one touch-sensitive screen, wireless multiplayer, voice recognition, a rechargeable battery, and more.  Prepare to severely wet yourself.

I'm going to need to change this profile because I have a new computer.  I'll probably come back as "Retro gamer" or something like that.

What the heck? You can't change your nick, an admin has to do that for you. Also, why would you need to change it?

[Jman]

Chup's right.  If I can just remember my password for this account, I won't have to make one for this new computer.
