just getting a chance to vent some stress on the new consoles...

it takes me a least 45 min to get online and download the VC games i bought this system for.

You have to stop your porn downloads first. It will go much faster after that.

I have no major complaints about the Wii. It's working fine and I don't have any animals that eat my stuff. You should probably blame your animals and not the wire. They will end up chewing the wrong wire one of these days. Nintendo needs to update the firmware, I want to be able to change the channels around and maybe some other functionality.

I got the premium 360 used with everything (1 wired controller, 4 wireless, Wi-Fi adaptor, 3 games) for $350, it was only 1 month old. I basically robbed the poor bastard. I can't imagine paying full price. But I hate the controllers, they always lose connectivity with the box because it thinks its out of power after I charged it all night. It's very tedious to use, it's just like another damn computer to worry about. Some of the functionally doesn't work, like shutting down remotely or opening the disk tray. It doesn't happen all the time though. It's a nice machine, but very buggy.
