Planning, planning everywhere but not in the Sony PR department

Sony really hates their customers, don't they? They denied a PS3 price cut for the longest time then, just when everyone was hating them for that, they announced a price cut in North America only. Just as fanboys and analysts started patting themselves on the back for predicting it (and Europeans got even angrier still), Sony announced that the reason for this price drop was that they were fading out the 60GB model in favour of a new 80 gig one at the original $599 price point.

Then they tried to placate Europe by adding in a couple of extra games and controllers to the bundle over here, though that's still only the 60GB version, it seems. They keep changing their story but it seems like they've really stuffed this whole thing up.

Can they do anything right this generation? It's just been PR disaster after PR disaster for them.


Still, enough of my Sony bashing - got to save some of it for when the podcast relaunches. It's past 22:00 and Skippy's still emailing me with updates about his various projects. Kind of makes me think that I should complete some of the stuff that I keep meaning to do.

To that end, by this time next week I intend to have the first arc of the VersusCOM webcomic scripted, a plan for relaunching the podcast and an eBay seller's account so that I can start getting money in place of all the crap that litters my room.

Secondary goals include some form of progress on the VCOM website itself, even if it's simply early designs, finding the software disc for my old PDA, rearranging my room (which will also require me to sort out that pile of Mega Drive games) and making Lucy's CD drive work. And getting something done about Linus, such as learning how to install programs on him. My iMac, Deneb (try to work out the logic behind that one), needs a bit of cleaning up done to his hard drive, particularly since I intend to fill it up with yet more pages of Naruto manga that I've been meaning to catch up on.

You know, a lot of those aren't really secondary goals.

And there's a Doctor Who marathon on UKTV over the weekend.

I'll figure it out somehow. And since this isn't a proper post, just one of my mind sorting things, I'll point you in the direction of this, the most misleading headline I've ever read.
