My blog was very put together and thought out. My summary was a good length and very understandable. My classmates were intuned to what I had to say. It was well thought out and provided useful information. The class learned alot. Anyone who wanted to buy a PS3 can make a more accurate opinion.
However, even though my summary was very impressive it had few mistakes. There wasn't many but enough to raise my summary from a 97 to a 100. I had a few mispelled words and puncition errors. There were also some sentence fragments. Mrs. Crawford as well as the class helped with the revisions. M summary is honestly better now thanks to the help of them.

In 2009 Sony predicted its first annual lost in 14 years. They predicted to lose about Y260 billion. That is 2 billion US dollars. Sony was to suffer this much because of its the most expensive game console on the market. Most of Sony's sales come outside of Japan; Therefore the currency exchange is not much in their favor. The company planned to cut 16,000 jobs to stop some of the bleeding.
Sony may be fighting an up hill battle. It is said that it might be it might be coming up last behind the Nintendo Wii and the Microsoft XBox 360. This however is due to a game demo at E3, a gaming showcase. That game shown that was suppose to be released on PS3 was a fake. Then the PS3 operates on a blue ray player which is very costly and hard to make a game on. Then there's the price. The low end model cost $499 while the full version was $599. Both prices are more then its competition. Where the PS3 will succeed however is that it is the only console with a blue ray player built in. It also is much cheaper then a normal blue ray player that just allows you to play blue rays.
On March 1 2010 Sony issued a statement on their blog requesting PS3 users to not play their PS3 for 24 hours because data might be lost. It was a bug that caused a glitch in the game. The bug affected the internal clock of the system setting it back to January 1st, 2000. (leap year) Playing the game during the 24 hour period could result in lost data that you could not obtain. It is not sure that the bug was actually fixed or if it will happen again in 2012 when it's actually leap year. Which ever one it is Sony's new media specialist will be there to get the correct media out.

The best was saved for last. Our group couldn't of gone 1st because the wouldn't of been able to compare. Our presentation was entertaining, funny, and very helpful; Not to mention easy to relate to. We presented much insight about the iPhone. I had no idea so much could be learned from it.
I believe our group's presentation got the most laughs. I know everyone was enjoying it. Modesto wrote a hilarious script. It was also very helpful. Much more useful then your regular phone calendar which some students were trying to shut us down with. Then to top it off it was very easy to relate to because mostly everybody has either a Mac Book, iPhone or iTouch. One of the girls in the class then downloaded it to their iPhone.
The only thing I didn't like about our presentation was that we were short handed. Our teammate Jennifer did not show up and she was the main speaker in our commercial. We recovered nicely though. We had to have another classmate fill in for her and she did very well. It was almost like she was part of the group. I would definately not mind doing a similar assignment like this again.
