#2 . Just pointing out that microsoft has vehemently denied any problems with their systems yet have extended their warranty twice in less then a year to fix the problems that supposedly don't exist. Thier original warranty was a joke anyways. At least PS3 shipped with a year warranty which should be minimum for any system over $200.
#2.5 Once again its been a month and Sony HAS released several patches already to fix alot of PS1 and PS2 games. Also they currently have over 7700 or over 97% games playable on the PS3 compared to Microsoft not even being able to hit the 50% mark. Once again some of those games might have some issues with not looking as good but they are improving it.
#3 I just find it idiotic to have to carry a 360 around if I want to watch a movie or TV show at someone elses house. If you BUY a TV show you should be able to burn it to a dvd and watch it on any TV or dvd player instead of having to re-dl the show off XBL anytime you want to watch it. Unless you don't mind having to buy 5 HD's since you can't upgrade from the ludicriously high priced 20 gig HD the 360 has. [/QUOTE]
Lets play around with these for a minute.
1. Yes, Xbox has extended the warranty on the 360. It has also been out for over a year. PS3 has been out or a month. Lets not talk about system reliability with the PS2 was notorious or 'Disc Read Error'.
2. Sony has released like 3 patches. Most of Sony patches, as with the PSP, do nothing but try and block homebrew. In this case what was changed? Then trying to fix up their major screwups (HDTV incompatablity, lack of BC). While were on the whole BC issues, was PS1 BC with the PS1? Oh yes, it was. Was Xbox BC with the...one wait. BC is a new thing for MS. Its not knew for Sony. This should have been right OUT THE DOOR considering they could have clearly been watching MS's lack of BC and how it pissed off some people.
3. So when I buy a movie/TV Show off iTunes I can burn that a CD/DVD and watch it anywhere....right? Wrong. What makes you think a VIDEO GAME CONSOLE should have the ability to do this? Talk to me if Sony ever decides to do a Movie/TV service. I'm sure there either 'working on it' or its 'coming soon' as you seem to post in every thread like you are a Sony Rep.
This is coming from someone who OWNS an Xbox 360 AND a PS3.
