SONY needs to die.

OK, over the past year or so, Sony has continually been pissing me off, for quite a few reasons.

I bought a PS3, and had OtherOS on it for maybe five months. I have to admit, it was pretty kick ass being able to use Ubuntu on my PS3. Then they removed it.
I sold my PS3 and went back to PC gaming.

Then I read one night on precentral.net that there is a PS3 jailbreak that can be performed with the Palm Pre, which is the phone I had at the time (and still have).
Shortly after that, I bought another PS3 and jailbroke it. I didn't have any online games at the time, so PSN wasn't an issue to me.

It's easy to find info about the lawsuits and bullshit that have gone on in the past few months, since Geohot released the first PS3 custom firmware. Geohot's website is http://geohotgotsued.blogspot.com/ and has much info regarding the Sony lawsuits/boycott. (There have been many CFW's released by several different authors since then, and if I read correctly, it's better than the formerly Sony-approved Linux install, since it does not restrict access to the RSX (GPU).

Sony updated firmware, I updated with it, so I could still play CoD online. Since then there have been workarounds, but as far as I know, none worked with 3.60. I subscribed to Playstation Plus, bought CoD addons, a few games, and of course, took advantage of my "free" Plus member downloads.

So yeah, fast forward to now. I ordered the new Mortal Kombat online (from GameDealsRUs.com--DON'T ORDER FROM THEM! EVER! IF YOU MUST ORDER ONLINE, EBAY OR AMAZON!! Game came out Tuesday, April 19. It's Monday, and they haven't even shipped it yet.

To make matters worse, PSN is down. Can't play online games now, can't take advantage of the Playstation Plus service I'm paying for. And to make matters worse, it's just been discovered that it's possible that hackers have stolen personal information and credit card information from Sony's server.

I say boycott Sony. I'm seriously considering it myself, the only quandary I'm facing is the amount I already have invested into the PS3. So this is probably what will happen: I will continue to use the PS3, although I won't be buying anything for it anymore, or at least not unless it's something I absolutely HAVE to have.

But come the next generation of consoles, I'm going with Microsoft. Unless, of course, Sega comes back to take revenge on Sony for putting them out of the console business so many years ago.. Sega should put Sony out of business. I'm fucking ready for a Dreamcast II!
