Ok, you will not be missed.

That was harsh... he didn't go and say "PS3/Wii rulez!!!"..., and I don't think he hates the 360's GAMES, and in fact LOVES them, and only has problems with the hardware.


It's harsh because as gamers we had to cope with those two pieces of shit reliability wise, the ps1 and the ps2, and no one raised shit about it. Sony gave us the middle finger and we had no other option but buying a new one every so often. 

But now, suddenly, reliability is oh so important and everyone makes a big stink about it.

If you want reliable hardware, buy Nintendo.

??? What does the PS1 and PS2 have anything to do with the OP and my post? Accepting your words as fact (PS1 and PS2 being unreliable), it has nothing to do with the OP's bad luck combined with Microsoft's hardware problems... nor does it have anything to do with me feeling dsister (who took his post back very quickly) feeling he was being rude to the OP for no reason.

Also the reason why you may feel that nobody made a big deal over the PS/PS2 was that the internet was still young, and these types of big and easy access forums weren't in existence... and I do think that people should have made a big ruckus over PS/PS2 having bad reliablity. And it's a great thing that Sony learned it's lesson and did make a much more reliable piece of hardware... there's no gain from bring up things from the past. Accepting that the PS1 and PS2 were unreliable, aren't you now glad that Sony heeded your words and changed for the better? And aren't you upset, just as you are with the PS and PS2, that the 360 has some reliability issues?

On a side note, I do feel it's strange that the OP is going for the Wii. If the PS3 did drop out for some reason, I'll definetely go to the 360, since all the multiplat, 2nd/3rd party exclusives will be going there.
