We all know that the colours of our beloved PSone and PS2 logo are RED, GREEN, BLUE and YELLOW.
Why did Sony then make the circle RED, the triangle GREEN, the X BLUE but the square PINK !!!?? :confused:
According to my logic ( for what it\'s worth :nut: ) they
should\'ve made the square button YELLOW !
Or maybe that was because the SNES already had that thing when Playstation launched ?

It\'s all a plan by Sony.Pink will attract female players,and gay ones :p j/k

Sure sure. I play PS because its controller has a pink button. I\'m hopelessly attracted to the color pink because of my x-chromosomes. Seriously, I\'ve never even noticed it.
But I must say I do love pink, my pic is pink, my coat is pink, even my last shoes were pink, and my favorite car used to be a pink cadillac... Not anymore though. I\'m such a girly girl! Super!

Well, If I were that man at Sony who decides the colours
then I definately would\'ve made the button YELLOW, even though it is known as the colour of \'hate\'.
As for Smallady, you should be comfortable with the Big N now because their main colour is purple/pink.
Noticed that transparant pink GBA recently !?

heh heh :p
But who knows maybe Mr.Hunt is right,maybe yellow means something bad over there.

Could very well be.
I read that many hospitals in Japan do not have a fourth floor, because the number four sounds like \'dead\' in japanese. It was even more interesting to find this out since in Silent Hill a fourth floor that wasn\'t there suddenly appears in the hospital :) It was scary. I don\'t want to think about that game any longer.

They dont have a thirteenth floor either,i wonder why people think the number thirteen is sooo bad,any ideas?

ok i have found some superstitions in japan,here they are,but there isnt anything there about the colour yellow,but i will keep looking: )
The number four:
The number four is considered inauspicious because it is pronounced the same as the word for death (shi). Therefore, one should not make presents that consit of four pieces, etc. In some hotels and hospitals the room number four is skipped.
Stick chopsticks into the rice:
Do not stick your chopsicks into your food generally, but especially not into rice, because only at funerals, chopsticks are stuck into the rice which is put onto the altar.
Give food from chopstick to chopstick:
This is only done with the bones of the cremated body at funerals.
Sleeping towards the North:
Do not sleep towards the North beacause bodies are laid down like that.
Funeral Car:
If a funeral car passes you should hide your thumb.
Cut nails at night:
If you cut your nails at night, you will not be with your parents when they die.
Lie down after eating:
If you lie down immedeately after eating, you will become a cow.
Whistle in the night:
If you whistle in the night, a snake will come to you.
Black cat:
There are also some imported superstitions such as the believe that black cats crossing the street in front of you cause bad luck.
p.s i love the one about a cow,could you imagine if that happened heheheehehehehhe: )

Ohh and the guy behind the Toyota company,is actually called Toyoda but they changed the name because writing Toyoda had 10 strokes or something and that was supposed to be bad luck.
