One word sums up this debate legacy. Cable connectivity is still the standard, and it has the position of legacy. Almost everyone who has access to high speed internet has the capacity to use a cable. On the other hand not everyone has wireless networks in their homes. You should support the majority and make accessing your online functionality fundamentally simple.

I am not saying that wireless is not the future. They are already well under way in developing wireless solutions that can actually use the electrical grid. That said right now not everyone has wireless or is inclined to have it. So the legacy device should be the standard, and if someone wants to go wireless they can go buy a solution. Until then nobody should have to jump through hoops to get online. Hell the 360 comes with over twenty feet of cord.

We should always be mindful of what people have and do not have, or in some instances cannot have. There are places where wireless solutions don't work, or where it is actually illegal to have wireless networks. Strange as it sounds the United States government actually provides free cable in some regions so electronic pollution does not interfere with radio astronomy. Hell try living a hundred meters from a cellular tower.

That is a fine deal nice to see some confirmation that confirms what I have told people for months. No Sony didn't sell their first shipment out. However you can actually get a PS3 cheaper then that. I think Gamestop is still running their PS3 special. You turn in your old PS2 with five games, and the PS3 costs you two hundred and fifty. They also have a similar offer for the 360 except the arcade cost you one hundred and fifty. Honestly I think anyone on the fence should consider trading in their old consoles they are depreciating fast. By this time next year those kind of deals will not be happening.
