Con: Playstation 3

Your comprehension skills suck!
First of all, if you could read as well as a first grader, you'd know that I said I don't own any XBOX original games. All I said was if I wanted to play XBOX original games, I would have bought an XBOX, and NOT bought a 360. I bought a 360 to play 360 games.
As for the hardrive comment, I'll just repeat (again) what I already said. NOBODY who bought a 360 is forced to purchase a hardrive. MILLIONS of people are playing 360 games without any hardrive. It is an OPTION. My point is EVERY SINGLE CUSTOMER who bought a PS3 is forced to buy a Blu-Ray drive, and also Blu-Ray discs when they buy games. Do you understand the difference between forced and being given an option?
You can't seem to fathom that 33% is a made-up figure. I never said inital 360's didn't break, I just said the rate isn't 33%. Stores wouldn't sell 360's if 1/3 of them broke you moron! LOL
"refurbished models continue to fail"
I'm starting to think you're very dumb. Do you know what refurbished means? It means it's a system that has been returned, fixed up and then resold. I already said the initial batch of 360's were faulty, so if you refurbish a faulty system, then what do you get???
"blueray: selling 2:1"
Yeah, and regular DVDs are selling like 30:1 over Blu-Ray. The fact is the new optical storage media (HD-DVD & Blu-Ray) are BOTH failures. All you've pointed out is Blu-Ray is less of a failure than HD-DVD (for now). Everybody (except you) knows that both of the new formats are not selling anywhere near targets. Maybe one day they will catch up to DVD, but until then they both SUCK. The fact is consumers are being smart by saying no to Blu-Ray. Who wants expensive hardware/software, loads of DRM (more in Blu-Ray), small selection of titles, revoking of keys, inability to make backups of movies you own (over & above the copy protection of DVDs), etc., etc., etc.?
The Blu-Ray ship will sink, with you on it. Unfortunately, you won't believe me until $ony bilks you out of thousands of dollars. (When $ony says "Buy!", you say, "How much?", like a good little $ony Fanboy) I respect that you want to waste your money on $ony products, it's your money. But I bought my Foreman Grill for only $20, so spending $600 on what's essentially an overhyped Foreman Grill is a BIG mistake.
You claim that I support Microsoft, and that is completely unfounded. I've never owned an XBOX, and I wouldn't have bought a 360 if it wasn't a GREAT SYSTEM. I've owned consoles made by nearly every company (Sega, MS, Nintendo, Coleco, etc.) except $ony. That's because I value my money, and I'm not going to have $ony riding my wallet so they can win a format war. Every system $ony came out with (PS1, PS2) started at a cheap price. PS1 sold well because its main competition (Sega Saturn) was $100 more expensive. PS2 also debuted for a cheap price. But $ony dropped the ball this generation by forcing people to buy a stupid Blu-Ray drive. Without Blu-Ray, I honestly think PS3 would be a better system, and would probably be #1 right now. But we all know that $ony went from #1 to last place, and you should ask yourself, why? Why did the whole world put $ony in last place, while you're still defending them?
