I've been using this feature on my Wii and PS3.

I've also been using built in Wi-fi on my Wii, PS3, DS and PSP.

The no Wi-Fi and 100 dollar adaptor for the 360 is the biggest slap to the face of this console generation. Even the DS has Wi-Fi. And you can buy an adaptor for a laptop for 20 bucks. Why is it 100 for the proprietary piece of crap that doesn't even work with all wireless routers?

I live in an apartment where I cannot drill holes in walls and lift carpets to run wires everywhere and I don't want a bunch of wires run along my walls/ceilings/floors, and therefore it was essential for me to have wi-fi, and all of my systems provided with me that basic ability except the 360. Microsoft really knows how to nickel and dime, don't they?

50 bucks a year for live? That ticks me off, too, when I'm getting a service that is just as good on the PSN. Anybody who says you can't have just as much of a pleasant experience on PSN as you can with Xbox Live is fooling themselves. I can send and receive messages, start parties, send invites, converse with my friends and strangers alike, and play games online, all for free. What more do I need? Whatever Xbox Live offers beyond that is something I never use anyway, and 50 bucks a year is another slap to the face when I'm getting great functionality for free on the PSN.

And finally... the headsets! Argh! Why doesn't the 360 support bluetooth devices!? I don't want to have my head tethered to the controller while using the crappy headset that comes with the 360. And I don't want to pay 60 bucks for ANOTHER proprietary device, this time the wireless headset, that doesn't work with any of my other accessories, when I've already got a perfectly fine Bluetooth set that only cost me 20 bucks and I can use with my PS3, PC, and cell phone.

And don't even get me started on the fact that I had to get my 360 replaced 2 times in the first year I owned it, and the third time it broke they refused to replace it becuase it was a non-RROD related problem.

And yet! I bought another Xbox 360 because I just had to play some great videogames. (side not: I wonder how many of the 20-some-odd-million consoles MS claims to have sold are duplicate sales to the same customer, because I am not the only person I know that has bought more than one Xbox 360 just for himself)

Since I've been getting PM's about people who take issue with my criticism of Microsoft's Xbox 360 add-on policy & pricing, I'll offer some arbitrary complaints that I have with the PS3. Maybe it'll put a smile on your glum faces, those who don't like to hear about the problems with your console of choice. You'll get to read about the problems with your console of anti-choice as well!

The sixaxis is largely a waste of time and space. Games that use the sixaxis well are few and far between, and even the ones that do use it well (like Folklore) could have been just as good without it. Even in Folklore, sometimes the back-and-forth motion doesn't register correctly. Most importantly, though, games that use the sixaxis see their battery life dip faster. This means that during those extra-long sessions you may need to plug the controller in in order to keep going. This presents two problems:

1) The USB cable that comes with the PS3 is incredibly short. Most people will want to get a longer cable, which costs extra, but more importantly than that, is not that easy to find, because it uses a mini-B style USB connector, which requires extra effort to find in stores (I got mine online after giving up looking at the local stores)

and 2) Flailing the controller around while it's tethered to your console sucks! You've got your cord flying in your face and sometimes it comes unplugged, and it restricts your movements, making it even less likely that the sixaxis will respond correctly to your intentions.

Then there's the fact that the PS3 can't do a data backup to any source that isn't FAT32 formatted. You can't do selective copying (say I only want to copy all my gamesaves, I have to copy every single save individually, which sucks when I should be able to just copy the entire game saves portion of the hard drive in one button-press). So, if you want to do everything quickly, you need to do data backup. But you can't do that for more than 32 GB of data due to the partition recognition issue.

So, since you have to install so many games, hard drives fill up fast, and if you don't want to delete anything, you need to get a bigger hard drive. Backing up all of the data from your original hard drive, if you have any besides the 20GB version of the PS3, is more of a pain in the ass than it should be, and so there is really slim incentive to replace your hard drive after more than a year of filling up your drive with data that you don't want to lose. This leads to deleting install data for games you play less frequently. But if you want to play that game again, you need to find some other game's install data to delete and wait while you re-install the other game. This leads to an inconvenient juggling of install data once you get your drive full. The smart thing to do would be to just buy a gigantic hard drive as soon as you get your system and replace it before doing anything else.

That's all I feel like typing right now. Please, just remember, there are things worth ranting about with all things (not just videogames and consoles). Sometimes, something just triggers a bad memory or feeling and you go off. Them's the breaks. For some reason I can't even remember now, I got into one of those moods and just wanted to rant about all the ways MS pissed me off by making it look like their console is so cheap and convenient with their marketing, but actually costing FAR more than the PS3 when you add up all of the inconveniences and add-ons that some of us need in order to have a pleasant experience with our console.

Cause there's no reason to load anything into the tray of a PS3 you mean?
