I sum up the differences pretty simply

Microsoft is always trying to figure out how to get you to spend more money

Sony is always trying to figure out how to make you WANT to spend more money

And you dont take offense to the fundemental difference? Or at least see how one is blatantly better for you than the other?

In the end you pick a console that appeals to your own personal tastes the best. 360 excelled in XBLA, online (regardless of paywall), and its flagship exclusives. It may shock you but many felt it appealed to their interests more then a PS3. There is no blatant winner, it depends on the person.

I at least understand the concept of subjectivity where I see many like you that are convinced that the other options are just wrong.

Like I said before.

I can get behind Xboxes games and services. but

thier anti consumer practices are by far the worst and inexcusable. Being a buisness is not justification for treating consumers like cattle. And I've already dealt with Microsoft, I don't purchase there products until I feel that they are worthy of my money.

My issue is with your inane delusion defense of these policies that enables them to do worse. Its like seeing an alchoholic beat his wife, and then she makes excuses for him while buying him another six pack.

Just because Gaming is a hobby, doesn't mean it shouldn't be taken seriously, thats a fallicitous argument.
