I would like a list of lies by Sony. Citation would be nice.
I don't care how small the lie is. Just as many as you can think of. Can be from whenever. All Sony but, not only PS3.

To start it off, here is 1.

7 bluetooth controllers... actually not too sure if thats a lie but how could you have a 7 player game?

[KAGE360]

-killzone 2 video being real time

- spring 06 launch

-just about every tech demo is a lie

[Deftech]

why are you all dwelling only on ps3 lies?

good lord, you could make a list of another 30 going back to 1999/pre-launch ps2

if the internet was huge back in the mid 90's when ps1 launched, we would have heard the same shat. We had to rely on slow magazines(maybe that was a good thing?).

Allow me to take a step back in time when the companies would go at it via commercials...



Fly Plaything...flyyyyyyy

why don't they take jabs at one another anymore via tv? Those days were great. Is it not politically correct? Eff that! Even the Crash bandicoot one standing outside Nintendo HQ causing problems was classic! some of you may not be old enough to recall such commercials.

All ps3 games to support 1080p at launch. Now they say we won't be seeing 1080p at at launch


PS

i just woke up give me time to wake up lol i can think of many more

[twistedsymphony]

none of these are any good... if you want to make this list have an actual point you need to provide direct quotes, links, screenshots and dates otherwise it's just a list of unsubstantiated fanboy fodder.

2 HDMI Ports on the ps3

Well I've seen a video of a ps3 debug kit software (final) showing video set-ups and the debug has two HDMI ports. So they definitely could of done it but it probably would make the cost of a retail PS3 up to $700 and who needs 3 network ports, I very rarely meet someone who doesn't have some kind of router in there home (and no there not all geeky friends) and Virtua Tennis 3 is to run at 1080p http://www.ps3land.com/index.php

this may be true or not at this time, but amount vents they have, it may be possible that they are probably using no fans

Today's new buzzword, introduced by Kutaragi during his speech, is "Reality Synthesis." Kutaragi used this term (he said it in English) to describe what he feels is the core of the PS3: "creating a real-time world in real time."
