i guess im only glad at the wiimotechuck design. much like rubang i like that i can sprawl anywhichway without worrying to much about the controller.

Achievements/Trophies.

Wireless controllers.

Digital download games.

Downloadable demos.

Guide buttons.

Party chat.

Multi-media consoles.

Proper support of computer displays (at least in 2/3 of them since one company still haven't discovered people can play consoles on monitors)

Even though i'm a Sony fan - Nintendo winning again.

^^ why are people listing Wireless Controllers? We were using Wavebirds in 2002. That's early in the previous gen!

But they weren't standard. Wireless controllers is probably my number one as well, though my PS3 being a media center is also pretty big.

PS3 has improved and the models are more cheaper than they have ever been.

I love excessive DLC, especially when DLC is announced before the actual game comes out. Its even better when they intentionally leave parts of the game out so they can sell it later as DLC.

Firmware updates for console/games (we had them last gen but much less frequent)

getting rid of the memory cards (PS3 atleast)

demo's

Sony getting a huge 1st party system giving great games.

thats pretty much all I can think of

I don't like the power button in the controller, and i'll tell you why: power button in the control means that the system's power is now digitally controlled, rather than an actual analogue switch, which in turn means that the power button is just as useless as any other button when the system freezes/crashes, which in turn means you have to unplug the damn thing, instead of just hitting the power button

Not having to worry about having enough memory for game saves is something i like, though
