I am satisfied with 360. To me, it has met expectations. If RRoD didn't happen it would have exceeded them. But that is a black mark on the console. The Live outage last year was a bit of a downer. The good news is I had two RRoDs at the same time, I sent both consoles back and MS accidently returned me 3 consoles making up for the inconvenience and giving me another backup just in case it happens again. Finally, quality exclusive 1st and 3rd party games of all type keep coming in droves.

PS3. Mandatory hard drive installs are a cover up for a fundamental design flaw somewhere. The promise of a whack of 1080p games has yet to see daylight. Quality 3rd party exclusives are almost non-existent. Delays for games are standard procedure. Six Axxis is a complete flop, with a lack of rumble being a joke. I spent $100 more for each console then I had to just to play Resistance because that was the only really quality exclusive until after the price drops. I have had 4 deaths of PS3 consoles (Yes, more then RRoDs). PSN is "you-get-what-you-pay-for" because the 2.40 bricked two of my consoles permanently, and I had to argue with customer support to get them fixed. And Blu-ray is nothing to write home about other then capacity. The good news is that I don't think it can get any worse.

If I didn't own a 360 and only bought a PS3 I would have really regretted waiting for the PS3 to come out a year later with no real benefit over 360...
