- Trophies awarded for just progressing through the game, they should add replay value, not be so that by reaching the end of the game once you have 'earned' nearly all of them without choice.

 

I don't really know what game you're referring to (and I'm not saying you're lying), but isn't it the devs that decide the trophies?  In which case, blaming that on the console seems silly.

Me not care about installs, main reason = 320 GB XD.

PSN on Europe o.o im from Sweden but i feel like the europe store gets alot of amazing shit :o sure the updates are on..? Thursday? and USA has like tuesday?.. anyway i have an USA acc and Japan and i havent really experienced a 'crappy psn' lol. O BESIDES HOME IS AWESOME IN JAPAN! Omfg i love their cinema its like freaking high tech XD. Oh and USA is also a bit cooler and they have uncharted + farcry 2 space! But rather then that.. No XD.

I like my big sized PS3 makes it say : Stfu or ill sit on you XD.

I like the L2 and R2 O.o on CoD 4 i changed the R1 + L1 to shoot - aim to R2 + L2 to shoot and aim. How can u not like em!? theyre sweet! Although i never played over 5 hours constantly using them so XD..

Oh and accelrate on L2 for Gran turismo 5 : prolouge is indeed a pain XD that i can agree!. When i use X though i must press it HARD for it to go further, but sometimes i just hold it in and it slows down makes me go like GAAH. But now i use the right pad and just hold it forward its pretty cool actually didnt know about that before.

System freezes ? Unless u got max tabs on the webrowser watching porn i havent experienced a system freeze XD atleast not playing a normal game ..

What I Dont like is the god damn bluetooth. Is it just me? or everytime i connect my ps3 controller i mean they first work fine i connect it big woho yay. Sit and play, like 3 days later. Lalalala *Presses PS button*, *System turns on* *Lights flashes for a damn 5 minutes* *Lights turn off* WOOT It didnt find it! god damnit *Puts in USB* i have full battery.... oh well *Holds in power button to resynk* Ah there we go..

Thats just so annoying when u just want to pickup ur damn controller and play, Sometimes ive had bad luck and everyday for 1 week that happend XD. Maby im doing something wrong i dunno but yeah thats probably my main dont like thing but i like the rest XD



360 - noise and impending doom (failure)
PS3 - bland/boring interface, controller, PSN compared to Live
Wii - I respect it, but pretty much everything except Mario Galaxy and Wii sports.



PS3: Pathetic PSN, compulsory installs, 40GB of storage (not enough), no backwards compatibility, Home a disappointment, no Flash card readers, only 2 USB ports. Of course, a lot of this comes from buying a PS3 in December 2007.

Wii: Gets screwed over by third parties
360: RRoD Just got back after about a month and a half.

X360: Annoying dvd reader noise
Crappy d-pad



ps3

No background downloading while playing games even offline
Controller is not as stiff or strong as 360's
Poor game ports
Games being delayed or canceled
System scratches easily

 Same goes for your Wii online complaints, surely?

The online part of games has very little to do with the hard wear inside the box.  All that does is send various bits of data off to a server and receives various bits of data back.  Developers can do a lot to improve the online experience on the Wii, they just seem to choose not to



Wii
Crappy storage solution
Too few VC-games released per month
Not taken seriously by 3rd parties

I don't know about YOUR PS3, but mine background DL's while playing games...a lot of times, it just won't finish.  For instance, I'll set 6 things to download and instead of fully downloading, it'll download all of them to 99% while I play.  Then when I exit to the XMB, they all finish within seconds..don't know why it does that, but it background downloads just fine for me.
