So $100 dollars for a 54.2% chance of a defect, $50 dollars for a 54.2% chance of a defect and a phased out model. And this isn't two years ago, fanboi: <a class="user" href="http://consumerist.com/5338852/xbox-360-failure-rate-is-542-percent-game-informer-finds" rel="nofollow">http://consumerist.com/5338852/xbox-360-failure-ra ...</a>SWEET DEALS

I am a bigger fan of the 360 to begin with and that is why I bought it initially. I never said that I bought the WiFi adapter for the 360, only that it's my single option were I to want to go online (which I do). I just don't agree with paying 100 dollars for a wireless adapter and that is why i am forced to play OFFLINE. The PS3 has wifi built in as well as the Bluray player (and if I don't have internet connectivity I can't make use of the Xbox's answer to Bluray, streaming content, can I?)

it's spelled yatta... all Japanese characters end in a vowel except for double consonants (such as, in the example of yatta, the two t's). There are slight variations on that rule, but there is never call to end a japanese word with the letter H. N is acceptable though since it's the only Japanese hiragana character that doesn't have a vowel next to it (san, chan, obasan, obaasan, obachan etc etc)still, I agree with the sentiment. Even if it does mean "thank god" and I'm sure he had nothing to do with it.

Well, my point was that a few weeks without your Xbox isn't going to kill you.

99% of people can't tell the difference between a 128kbps mp3 and a nice V0. You're also a complete fool, not just a fanboy, if you think compressed video streams are going to be better/equal the slightly compressed Blu-Ray counterpart.

Yes there are, I've never had to wait. I sold my 360 when it came back from repairs and bought a ps3, and there is little to no difference. There are some things that I miss w/ the 360, but over all the ps3 is a better experience. Installs are a pain, but you don't have to do them that often. The media capabilities are pretty awesome, and the bluetooth remote is badass and works perfectly.

Adding Wii Sports Resort and Motion+ to the current Wii package is almost definitely going to happen. It's pretty much a matter of time. Doubt they will bundle NSMB Wii though, especially if it sells like the DS version has.Wouldn't count on a price drop though.

Not to be mean or anything. If you get the Xbox Elite it will break on you, just like your Pro. You should buy a PS3. that would be a smarter choice. In like 3 months time they thing is gonna overheat and break, or maybe sooner. And you will just keep mailing in over and over.

You should get your facts straight before posting. PSN has changed alot, since 2006. back then PSN was having minor issues. PSN does not lag. Its 2009, so your statement is not relevant anymore. At least Sony fixed there Network problems. X360 is still getting the red ring. 54 percent failure rate. I play 60 player games online all the time on PSN. XBL does not have anything close to that. MAG supports 260 players online. Sony uses dedicated Servers. XBL- Peer to Peer, which is cheap, and they make you pay 50 a year. Everything about the Xbox is cheap! As far as games are concerned. Xbox has Halo, Gears, and Fable. Nothing else worthy of buying. Everything else comes out of PS3 anyway.X360 can be use as a heater, and it is the example of how not to make a console!How bought you go do some towel tricks.. Xbox has better graphics, " Sure keep telling yourself that"! Stop being in denial. Go do some research. But I promise you Xbox does not have better graphics.. or much of anything lol!!
