Agreed, but still no reason to agree this is the right thing to do.

The removal might be annoying for some but surely I think it beats having to worry about hack xbl accounts and millions of cheaters

Recent article on IGN says that the slogan is working even as the system is losing some flexibility

I will be completely baffled if you tell me your PC only cost you $299, though.  I may be mistaken, but you probably have something that cost in the range of $700-1000+.  In that case, it should be able to do considerably more than the ps3.  Unfortunately, it can't.  PC has no such notable thing such as Move coming out in the near future.  I am also going to go on a limb and say that despite a lot more games being available for PC, the quality of PS3 games, and all other consoles are far above the quality of a PC game.  Yes, the graphics may be better, but I'm pretty sure for the price, the graphics on the ps3 are just fine.  I'm also going to mention the fact that unless you are using a laptop (in which I will have to change y previous stuff because then the price is even higher if you want all the royalties and the good graphics), the portability of a ps3 is far far above that of a PC.  I am sorry to burst your bubble, but the things that are available on the ps3 for a system that costs a miniscule $299 is an amazing deal, and please do not compare it to a compare that costs astronomically more than that...(it didn't reply like it was supposed to, this is aimed at the person who said his computer can do all of the same things)

This is my thread so reply however you want unless you cross the line the you get the ban hammer although I think it has been over used lately
