I never bought a PS2 or Xbox because I like Nintendo's style and the references to games made well before Sony or Microsoft entered the market.
On that argument I would buy a Nintendo console if it cost $850 (as the PS3 does here) and it only had a 3D Mario, a 3D Metroid and a Smash Bros. title.
Ubuntu. Linux for human beings.
If you are interested in trying Ubuntu or Linux in general, PM me and I will answer your questions and help you install it if you wish.
