I didn't really follow the Netflix news (since I wasn't interested in it the first place), I thought you just had to put in the disc, and then you can stream. It's as much as a hastle as putting in a Bluray disc to watch a movie like most people do with PS3s anyway. Even if we do consider the disc based thing a negative, it seems like a very very tiny weight on the scale. Can you please be specific with the features and add ons of the two consoles? You take it for granted that everyone knows and understands what you're talking about. I don't see how it does more gaming (sheer volume of titles are kinda weak, when we're this far in the gen with old games filling up that space), more entertainment seems on par now with Netflix multi, and more fun time seems very subjective.
Can you at least not seem blatantly fanboyish? When I want to be a fanboy, I at least acknowledge and half joke about it, or stealth it in. No one's going to come to your support with that kind of post attitude. |
I am not trying to be a fanboy, just comically objecting to the PS3's very misleading and silly new slogan.
I guess if you really feel I need to expand, I shall.
I do agree that the fun time one was subjective. I also would like to note that I do not include web-based applications with the PS3 because they are not built in features. The Web Browser is the feature, not the uses of it. The experiences with the PS3 web browser are also very limited seeing as how it is such a proprietary browser and does not support all the latest online media formats. With Xbox 360 these are integrated into the online experience itself with unique and smooth flowing interfaces. If I have missed anything or you wish to argue the point, feel free and I'll ammend the lists. I would also like to note I am saying irregardless of price factors.
