Hehe, that bit made me laugh.

Yaks bang on though, I WONT be buying a PS3 not at that price.

That and the fact that they threatened to prosecute people who'd imported PSP prior to their European launch -: lovely way to treat their customers.

Yep I remember Pokemon - but other than that i'm hard pushed to find any other major spin-off's which have occurred. But point taken - there are more than a couple of similarities between the Pokemon marketting strategy and that being employed for Viva Pinata.

I'm just surprised that the marketting dudes haven't jumped all over it yet - most odd!!!

I can see a movie with Tipper, Chevre and Victoria.

.. could be a kind of Thelma & Louise thing but more moderate and with
a happy ending.

Or a kind of crime story where Blathers could have a role in finding and
identifying some stuff that Chevre and Tipper found .. hmm .. let' see
.. Tipper could be working for a fashion magazine, Chevre hmm .. some
kind of girl working in something scientific .. Victoria a detecive or a
journalist.

Buck of course would be "the guy that spends all his time in the gymn",
KK is KK alawyas present every saturday in their favourite cafe' place
that is really set in the museum.

Brewsters will turn out to have a quite complex story with Blathers happened
many years ago in another town.

Oh my .. there's LOADS of material and characters to make a really nice
movie out of it

NINTENDO !! *WAKE UP* !!!

Yak, Are not sure it wise, to critise Sony publically. although I agree with your points of view whole heartly. As some who makes his daily bread from the Industry. Your never know what future projects might come up down the line.

Sony is very big player.

Last month Mr Stringer said: "The price of the PS3 is quite extortionate but you're paying for the Sony executives Caribbean cruises."

He added: "Obviously, it's a win-win strategy - as all our new inventions are - but when the PS3 sell by the cartload, I don't think any fanboys will be worried about Nintendo or Xbox's more reasonable price."

The new PlayStation comes with a Betamax-ray high definition DVD player inside and Sony is praying that its inclusion will prove attractive to bored gamers moving into the HD era.

Fixed a few glaring errors...

It's a piece from a personal column, and he's had a couple of those before..and said much more contentious things without incident (I'm thinking the "Minter" column here..)

The odd thing is the BBC - they take a piece from another magazine completely unrelated to the BBC coverage, mix in some spewing from a Sony exec to 'add balance' and it becomes a free press release for the PS3. So what's all that about then? Meta-criticism and corporate promotion?

Well, obviously, this is not meant to be taken literally. It refers to any manufacturers of dairy products.
