I actually didnt find the update too long. it was ok.

It takes hours. Plural. That's the antithesis of why folks buy a console.

It took like 15 Minutes.

That was far, far from my experience. Nor is it consistent with what I've heard from others.

Ok, it was my experience. I have heard other stories as well, but assumed it was due to the high demand in the launch period. Maybe I was just the only one in all of continental Europe who requested that service on that time. Or maybe my internet is just that good.

Great. Now buy:

*lists 100 games that are decent/great as if you didn't know these games existed when you bought the console*

Be sure to give a detailed review of the console. I ran through the entire thread and didn't see on. Would love to know what you think. Hope you enjoy it!

Or maybe the console you bought already had a more recent version of the firmware preloaded. Would hardly be surprising, because you aren't a miser who bought a clearance sale Skylanders bundle.

You are right. Since I am one of those filthy rich guys (i.e. anyone who has a job), I was able to afford the Mario Kart bundle for 280 Euros. And if that saved me a couple of hours waiting in despair to play a game, it was money well spend.

That is a very impressive list of available decent/great games. Thanks for the guidance.

Be sure to buy 'em all!

Now, do your part and give me what I ask.  I feed off of VGChartz user reviews and when you like/hate the same things I do it gives me power!

Like you, I dislike all the bad games of the XYZ genre but like all the good games of the ZYX genre.

I hope this was concrete enough.

Acceptable. :)

Now, if only the OP of the thread would do the same.
