View Full Version : Sony's redeeming quality: It's green.
Daikun 11-28-2007, 12:01 AM For those of you probably misinterpreting the title: No, I don't mean money.
Environmental activist group Greenpeace has started a new magazine called the Guide to Greener Electronics, which ranks the world's top technological corporations based on waste management and recycling.
Sony got a surprising 7.3/10 due to a strong recycling policy. And what about Microsoft and Nintendo? Sadly, they sucked. Microsoft got a lousy 2.7/10 due to its reluctance to remove harmful chemicals from its production process till 2011. Nintendo got the bottom of the barrel (not just as a gaming company, but all of the corporations listed in the issue) with no plans to recycle or reduce hazardous pollutants.

smon jiff 11-28-2007, 03:19 AM Another win for the ever stronger Sony!
LordLegion 11-28-2007, 06:24 AM heh I love the PS forever but I think my PS3 is green cause I never play it. I loved the PS2 more than the xbox but my PS3 just sits there. It's like a sleeping giant tho. I just wish a developer would make a killer exclusive. Then it might get the kick in the ass to really show some of it's true potential. Then maybe we will see those games that take advantage of the power it has and trust me I know the 360 games look better now but srry fanboys but the PS3 has more computing power if developers use it's set up right.

Hardly.
Dexyn 11-28-2007, 04:22 PM This means something. Not much in game play wise but it still shows that Sony is doing something to help out not pollute as much.
Duffman X18 11-28-2007, 05:30 PM It still uses about twice as much electricity than a 360....but other than that, I guess this is good...

have you played Uncharted yet? i dont care what any reviewers say, its one of the most innovative and best looking games out there, i mean, the characters movement animations are affected by the terrain, for example, running along, and theres a big stone, you run onto it, he stumbles due the sudden increase in elevation, what other games on the consoles do that? PLUS Wheres the xbox version of ut 3? nowhere to be seen! :D
oh and YAY go sony, green ftw!!11111
keith22 11-30-2007, 03:33 PM greenpeace sucks really hate some of their lousy moves they never acomplished a shit. Dont get me wrong im in favour of a greener world cruealty against animals etcc. But why g after consoles and not after 1 of the top 3 polluters in to world America yeah thats right America do country without any futre green projects one of the few who decided no to sgin the kyto protocol. Its usless to say a console is not green friendly even it was it's usless it like hunting a ghost
PopTrogdor 12-01-2007, 08:57 AM One of the top polluters in the world, are actually Cows and livestock, they produce some of the highest amounts of greenhouse gasses. THOSE BASTARDS! when will the cows learn, and make a policy for cleaning up their emissions? :P
iPlayPC 12-01-2007, 10:09 AM This means crapshizzle for sony. It's not like being green makes their games better. Or their console itself.

I would make an anti-trolling comment... but seeing as that's technically against the rules... I'll just imply it!

gliff159 12-02-2007, 03:31 PM yah this has been done to death its based on faq from the corporate sites not anything real so like if there is noting in the FAQ then they get a 0

Much like comments such as yours mean crapshizzle for this community. Or your reputation itself.
I've run across two PS3/Sony bashing comments of yours in the past 3-4 minutes... if you're doing it just to do it, consider this a warning. Trolling isn't allowed (but banning people for trolling is).

iPlayPC 12-05-2007, 11:04 PM Are you talking to me? If so, I'm sorry...
meccamonty 02-20-2008, 01:05 PM here is the ps3 bashing again i mean c'mon guys the ps3 is a brilliant system,and as far as the greener company is concerned i dont really care i mean sony are only doing it for good publicity.i have no sympathy for any big multi-national companies!there all out to rob us anyway what does it matter.(im not saying this is a stupid topic Daikun)
infernal 02-26-2008, 07:33 PM Companies going green can only mean good. Looks like M$ and Nintendo(gs) need to put more effort into that, so.. Yay @ Sony!! :)
naruto20 02-26-2008, 10:21 PM Hardly.
