Give it two years and it will get to that.

I promise they're not rapidly expanding internet access on consoles for your benefit.

Nope I dont. I hate PC gaming. If you already dont have a $3000 PC everytime a game comes out you need some kind of hardware upgrade. Thats garbage. 3-sh***? Is it Sh*** cause they are putting more games out for it? Cause Xbox Live is getting more popular? Did you have a bad experience with it or something?

with the Xbox? yup, thats why i call it the 3-shi***.
i bought one it died after 4 days; and out of the dozen or so people who own one-- only 2 are still operational.

my ps2 has been humming along just fine, never so much as a skip.
and i have maybe 1000 in my machine; and thats over about 2 years.

Yeah...that's not really a pro or con in my book. I'd rather play my 360 on my couch in front of my 42" LCD and have my laptop in front of me to surf/work on.

well, mine has gone through 9 months of HARD playing. like 2-3 hours a sitting. 2-3 times a day some days. (I share my console with my friends.) That combined with Microsoft stepping up and taking responsibility for their problems, makes me actually pretty satisfied with my purchase. No, it doesnt run like a PS2 does now. But i seriously (no joke) went through 2 PS2s as well. It wasnt until they released the slim PS2 that i had one that worked 100% reliable. And my 360 is still more reliable than the PC back home. . . that thing hated games. (i think it was an issue with the video card.)
