Biggest letdowns,

360 RROD 3 times!!!

Hmmm my distinct inability to download patches for games on my PS3 seems to the be the biggest letdown at the moment. I've tried updating the following games on numerous occasions with each one taking way too long and the server timing out or some error BS:
-Rainbow vegas 6 2
-GT5P
-GTA4
-Singstar (where are the wireless Mics??? Where???)
I'm sure there are a few more I've just forgotten to mention.
Also downloading system updates for the PS3 takes freaking ages (thankfully it still works), and I can't seem to d/l from my computer and chuck it on USB drive and then update it from there for some strange obscure reason. I'm on ADSL2. With average connection of 10 Mbps. My 360 DLs are great and I have no problems there.

Wii controllers, when switching games having to reconnect controllers constantly.

Gamewise:
-Halo 3 way too overrated
-GTA4 WAY TOO OVERRATED got really bored by the repetitive nature
-Assassins Creed got bored of repetitive game
-DMC4 just got bored by the game
I think the large part of why I got bored with GTA4, DMC4 and AC was that the story really didn't interest me at all, and as such when playing those games I just felt like I was just going through the motions.

-Rock Band (When is this going to get released in Australia?) Waiting this long for it is beyond a joke.

-fantastic 4 I got this game for free and I could not bring myself to playing more than 5 mins of this bullshit. (mind you I really lowered my expectations for this one, and I gave it so much leeway as well since it was free)

-games that are supposed to be visually stunning, have fallen short of the mark or standard I was expecting.
-lack of fighting games that have come out to date
-lack of consistency in reviews, even in the most basic departments like graphics, I'm assuming graphics means how the games looks, whats this 10 BS they give to GTA4 when there are much better looking games out there that scored less.

On the whole I think I have been disappointed in this generation none of games really pushed the boundaries of innovation, GTA4 certainly didn't do that, like alot of reviews would have you believe. And fighting games are my favourite genre and they are sorely missed right now.... oh so can't wait for soul calibur 4 and tekken 6 and street fighter 4.
