Bull... Show me one developer that has complained about the ones bolded. I've seen nothing but praise for the development tools on the system. I've never seen any developer complain about the DVD read speeds yet I've read about several developers saying it was a problem with Blu-Ray and that they had to duplicate data on a Blu-Ray disc to compensate for it. As for the others the vast majority of people who complained about DVD space were developers making Sony exclusive games just looking for a reason to sound off and make their game seem better or to put down the competition. And why would developers complain about Xbox Live not being free? What does that have to do with developers making games in the first place?
Oh reasons 8 and 9 are basically the same reason but I guess you just needed to try to find a way to come up with 10 reasons even though 6 of them are BS in the first place and the remaining 4 are really just 2 reasons worded into 4.
