Nothing of value was lost
digital imaging should be a bigger focus than games i hope to god they are making huge strides there currently
It may seem like a good move, but it's really a stupid move. Especially if 6% of their work force are going to go jobless.
10,000 jobs, holy shit. I shouldn't feel bad for a giant corporation but I really do. Sony has made some awesome hardware that I've owned. Hopefully some of those people can bounce back and find work.
Yeah i was one of those people. But since my town makes all the ps3 games in the US then maybe we might get hired back on.

[QUOTE=mark6789;35543300]Thanks man.[/QUOTE] I don't know what you did at sony, but keep busy. Make flash games to maybe bring in some ad rev.
What exactly = digital imaging? Are we talking about programs like Sony Vegas or their displays/TV/hardware?
if sony removed the PSN pass bullshit then maybe i'd care about this
[QUOTE=KorJax;35544998]What exactly = digital imaging? Are we talking about programs like Sony Vegas or their displays/TV/hardware?[/QUOTE] I wondered that too. It seems crazy for them to be dropping out of the TV business.
