On, at last, to Sony. I bet, since you’re not as messed up as me, you don’t recall people referring to the original Playstation as ‘PSX’ with a twitch in your eye. Man, I hated that. You saw it on forums a lot (because the entirely reasonable abbreviation of ‘PS’ is apparently not reasonable at all), and often in cheaper third-party gaming magazines in the 1990s in those phone-up-for-a-cheat-code ads with the guy in the long leather coat and sunglasses.
With the release of the actual PSX in 2003, you would have thought such blatant wrongness would have ceased, but as it panned out the truly gorgeous white machine (which recorded digital video as well as playing PS2 titles, which the PS3 can’t even do!) bombed and everyone else got to continue in their abuse of extras x’s forever and ever and ever. Still, it briefly worked in my pedantic favor when correcting folks for all of a month or whatever.
