@Sansui, while most of that is true, I also strongly believe that the PS3 is the better "value" as a console. You just get a whole lot more bang for your buck so to say. I can see the reasons to not be interested in a 360 :P

Europe not catching onto live might have something to do with them not wanting to pay for online gaming... if you play your console online for 4 years, that's at least $200 extra >_>;;

As far as RROD issues are concerned, why is it only America is fine putting up with them?

I honestly think I asked the right question :P I'm just worried that America's average intelligence, and money to spend, is having something to do with it XD

 

Chrono, this isn't a personal attack, but I'd be careful, there, buddy. That's not a good road to go down. Every society across the world has thier share of exceptionally intelligent people as well as those destined for less intellecutal, blue-collar pursuits. I used to think that the Japanese were exceptionally smart people. After spending time in the country, they are no different than anywhere else. There are intellecutals and garbage collectors. Professors and jack-hammer operators. Stock brokers and dump-truck drivers.

If the U.S. was so bad, why do we still have so many people coming from foreign countries to get a higher education in our universities? Students from all over the world flock to U.S. institutions for computer, engineering, science, medical, and other technical degrees.

Americans take a lot of heat from abroad for not being "worldly". Part of the reason is that we don't HAVE to. The vast majority of Americans haven't seen a significant portion of our own country much less other ones. Being ignorant to the ways and cultures of other countries doesn't have anything to do with intelligence...

LOL yeah I'm just giving our country crap for the ugly stuff like Bell curving the tests standards, increased poverty, lowering economy, re-electing bush, lowering IQ :( Stuff like that, I realize every country's got it's probs and stuff, but man were not on the high end of the stick at the moment >< I'm just taking my pot shots :P Many a people come out here to learn as well because it's cheaper, more available, better credentialed, and you can make a killing here in America being a business owner/doctor/astronaut,??? y'know xD I just think it's kinda sad that I have to go near a Starbucks to eavesdrop on people that sound like they know what they're talking about :(

@Scat, well anyone that's played an online game from both PS3 and 360 will tell you that they're not THAT different. Im fact most of the time for me the PS3 version is better :/ I like my servers. The "value" of xbox live is that it has alot more to offer(and pay for mind you), than the PS3. There is no way I can beat around the value bush on that one :/ The PSN isn't nearly as far behind as people like to make it out to be.

@Mrstick Yeah I know XD But they're doing better than we are atm >< America needs to get some priorities strait ;-;

 

 

ChronoTriggerJM, stop insulting America! And Bush isn't a creidble argument, whether you like him or not. 1/3 or less of eligable Americans vote in the national election. Of that, 51% voted for bush. So that means... less than 1/6 of the country voted for and like Bush 4 years ago... and fewer Americans like him now. His approval rating is dismally low. Many Reublicans I know don't like him. You can say Americans are stupid becuase they voted for Bush, but it's a LIE!
