only makes sence, the whole basis of the console was created on ripping off every possible idea from someone or something else.

It's simply what inspired them. That's all.
I'm sure if they said they chose black because they wanted a 'darker' feel to it, we'd get the same typical negative comments 'its black like the devil, which is what sony is!'

Just looked: Oh well. Sony won the rights to Spiderman in 1999. Now they can do what they want.

price is probably the reason for the choice of black, it's the cheapest color
i also think that price is one of the reasons for using the font. they already paid for the IP of the font and they knew from the beginning that the ps3 was going to be an expensive console to produce so they may have taken that into great consideration. it would be cheaper to use a font they already own instead of using somoene elses font or creating a new one just for the ps3

I thought Marvel owned Spider Man, and Stan Lee invented him. Hmm.

sony owns the rights to the movie and everything associated with it, not so much the rights to the IP spiderman itself

Like Microsoft putting flying windows even in their keyboards ?
The first thing the people think of when hearing the name Microsoft is usually Windows OS, people usually automatically link Windows to Microsoft. When they hear Playstation, they don't think Spiderman.
I really don't care that the font is from Spiderman, the font isn't what makes a console. Even us Xbox lovers know that.

I though black plastic dye was more expensive then white?
im not too sure really, i do know that black is one of the cheapest colors, it's the main reason behind the color of the original xbox: cost

I don't care where they got the design from, to me it looks like shit.

i kind of agree with you, the font IMO looks shit, even if its spidermans lol, i also hate the look of ps3's, it really does look like a george forman grill tbh!
still the ps3 might come out better but over here a hell of a lot of ps3s are still unsold, nowhere i saw a huge crowd and i can see signs in shops sayin ps3 still in stock, maybe they hated the font and shell lol or maybe the £425 price tag ( about $700+)
