They could have come up with something goofy like “bling!” or some such.
“I have 500 bling on my PS3” sounds a shitload better than “I have 500 entitlements on my PS3”.
Bling or something goofy would be Nintendo’s take on all of this. Or something like a Pikipokekiki Point.
Sony is far too serious for goofy.
I would never use the word “bling”. Ever. Ever.
I know it’s just an off-the-cuff example, but still.
John, might I interest you in trying on “Pikipokekiki” for size?
Pentagrams all up in your bling bling?
I propose they award Entitlements in .01 amounts, which will be known as “Cents of Entltlements.”
This is what I thought when I first stumbled upon the whole concept when I bought my 360. As I unlocked achievements in Oblivion, I was like, “I’ll spend these on the horse armor!” My brother burst my bubble on that one though.
It just “made sense.”
I groaned, but that was very clever.
Entitlecents!
Wait, but if Sony is doing exactly what you think MS should be doing, how are they the stupid ones?
I agree 100%
They could have called it like
“Local Play”
“Internet Play”
Or some shit. Jesus christ anything but what they are using now would have been better.
Because he is an insane XBox fanboy?
Neither Microsoft nor Sony is going to pay you to play games. Which is what this would entail.
