Sony files curious Qriosity trademark News
PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese
Sony has filed a trademark protecting the name Qriosity, perhaps reflecting its ongoing love for names beginning with the letter Q (Qore, Qrios, etc).
The filing refers to portable gaming devices and "game services provided online from a computer network".
However, as Joystiq has pointed out, the filing was made by Sony and not Sony Computer Entertainment.
The small print mentions an "online shopping mall" and a "file sharing an information portal in the field of e-commerce" and "online distribution of music, image, or video".

I can't wait for the day when on-line drivel from EG and others comes to such a low level - perhaps it's Christmas time and the news well is drying up? - that as soon as a Sony engineer sits on the toilet seat and has that eureka moment, we'll get to hear about his/her actual thought for a product!
Seriously though, does EG and Joystiq not have anything better to report than scouting patent files? What a load of Qrap!

It's called providing a gaming news service, priq. It's what they are paid to do. Most people with half an understanding of..well.. anything at all, would understand that. I'd give you half of grain of respect if you bitched at them for missing it, but for reporting it? The thing which annoys me most is that you actually know how to use an apostrophe and spell, so you clearly aren't a total windowlicker, but you're doing a damn good impression of one. |

@ Cherub007:
Judging from the amount of profanity and abuse targeted at someone that you don't know - rather than countering the argument with something intelligent (oh, sorry, I forgot, an argument requires intelligence on your part) - I have no other choice but to conclude that your brain is no further developed a...Well, I'll leave it to your limited but inescapable imagination. Over & Out. |

Oh dear, zedzee. Let me make it easy for you. You said, and I quote: "Seriously though, does EG and Joystiq not have anything better to report than scouting patent files?"
You may as well ask if they have nothing better to do than print opinions about games they've played or interview people from the gaming industry. It's what they do. It's why I, and quite a few others, visit it. It's a gaming site which includes coverage of gaming news. Gaming news includes information on potential future gaming hardware. I might add that this wasn't given some sensational label like 'breaking news exclusive!', which would partially justify the kind of questioning you offer, it was just a straight gaming news story. I'll tone down the profanity this time, it clearly distracted you before, and I have to hold my hands up and say I was in a bad mood when I posted and I apologise for any offence caused. But my fundamental point remains sound - you can't berate a gaming news site for reporting gaming news and expect to be taken seriously (or not called a priq, windowlicker etc). |
