The fact of the matter is, if we got 3 years on everything all our electronics would cost considerably more. Ever wondered why US products are so much cheaper than other countries? That is because the US has one the most limited customer bill of rights when it comes to warranty claims.
Prior to moving to the US from Europe, I had never even heard of 3 month warranty. The standard was 1-year and many cases 2-5 years depending on the product. Tv's for instance was mandated to have ...
I bet you probably had no clue what I was talking about and your best was "FAIL".
You are wasting my time and others... You are going on my ignore list!
Do you have any programming experience? Have you even invested any time into researching the topic? If you did, you probably wouldn't just tell people to shut up without coming with a good argument for or against. Although it is hard to believe that one with knowledge would be against the fact that PS3 is hard to program for.
Here some help with informing you:

@DMason83: lol! I remember that and didn't want to comment since it was an obvious Sony fanboy party in there!
@morganfell:
yeah, but the opposite is also true. It could be top is selling 400, but position two is selling 300 and position five is selling 200 as well....
Besides I expect the PS3 slim to sell well, if not there is really little hope after all the exclusives games didn't seem to help much.
Here is the whole excerpt:
"The Wii's always been a borderline schizophrenic. You really can't understate what Nintendo's accomplished with its hail Mary pass, coming off the GameCube's distant third showing, but you also can't ignore that it currently runs a distant second to Microsoft's Xbox 360 when it comes to annual profits.
N-fans love to shout Wii sales numbers (52.3 million units at this writing) and its total market domination (almost half of all consol...
nuff said!
there are plenty of other reasons including the one in the freaking article:
"However, the company may have left the PS3 Slim out of Aug. circulars to prevent the hardware update and pricing change from leaking to the public in advance of the scheduled conference."
Other reasons logical conclusions instead of fanboy conspiracy:
- retailers expect PS3 Slim to be hot, no need to advertise it taking up valuable space for other items
- offici...
Sorry, but Sony had a head start on that price cut everyone has been dying for... numbers have changed a little now as of 4:12pm PST Friday 8/28:
1. PS3 Slim
13. Xbox Elite w/ Xbox Gold Live
22. Xbox Elite with Fable II/Halo 3
32. Xbox Pro
63. Xbox Elite w/ Indiana Jones/Kung Fu Panda
75. PS3 (phat) 80GB -
77. Xbox Arcade
92. PS2
That is 5 SKU's for Xbox 360 on the top 100 at amazon.com.... Take what you want from that.
I'm actually kind of getting sick of articles actually pointing out facts withOUT a trusty source.
This is not intended to disprove your article, but the fact that most of the articles I see mix numbers without specifying what the numbers are for and spin it.
What I want to see in a proper article is a link or footnote to where the number was retrieved from and specify what the numbers mean specifically. I frequently see articles (by mostly blog sites) that have no c...
To update the amazon rankings (as if it matters, but for fun):
1. PS3 Slim - (up 1 spot, NUMBER 1!!!)
11. Xbox Elite w/ Xbox Gold Live - (up 3 spots)
16. Xbox Elite with Fable II/Halo 3 - (no change)
30. Xbox Pro - (up 11 spots)
64. PS3 (phat) 80GB - (down 7 spots)
I also just found these two:
76. Xbox Elite w/ Indiana Jones/Kung Fu Panda
77. Xbox Arcade
This might explain why on amazon, PS3 is highly ranked, b...

This is hands down better deal than the PS3 Slim. Why?
Because this model has alternative OS supports, is prettier in my opinion, comes with Uncharted, has more hard drive space and is a time tested design all for the same price + tax. The PS3 slim although is the newest might have some issues lurking. You never know even from Sony....
You would think that the one of the largest game publishers in the world would publish their own games in Japan?!
... that is at the comment.
Sony has said there will be plenty of PS3 slims to go around!
This game was just released and Sony is known for not letting first party games hit the budget value game bin so fast. Uncharted and Heavenly Sword took forever... and I'm still waiting for a sub-$20 Uncharted.
Anyhow, the game was probably ruined for me due to all the hype. By the time I played the game, I had so high expectations and the game didn't quite live up. Graphics was great though, but still prefer CoD4.

"One problem with your post... Did you intentionally forget there are many Games that benefit from Blu-Rays capacity ?"]
No, but I don't have an issue with swapping discs. I do take issue with limited hard drive space and 20 minute installs (especially if I want to just try a game for 10 minutes). Of course this is subjective and really a non-issue on either console.

On the best seller list I see (as of right now):
2. PS3 Slim
14. Xbox Elite w/ Xbox Gold Live
16. Xbox Elite with Fable II/Halo 3
41. Xbox Pro
57. PS3 (phat) 80GB
As far as I can tell, the Xbox 360 comnbined is doing great without a need for a re-design. Why hate?
"BTW
Am I the only one who hopes the 250Gb PS3 is a myth/doesn't come true? I just don't see the point and the system would look a lot more attractive with just one SKU on the market. HDDs are cheaply upgradeable so what compelling add in will sell a 250Gb PS3 over the $300 120Gb model?"
Because the higher end SKU makes a higher profit (or smaller loss) on each console sold for Sony (and MS for that matter) to unsuspecting customers or customers that don't want t...
The article says:
"Microsoft is effectively charging for services that are 100% free."
I say, bollocks! Don' you have to pay for a an application to use Netflix, Hulu, NBC and etc on the 360, PS3 or even the Wii? All of those except Netflix is free!
Furthermore, did you consider that Facebook and Twitter integration still takes resources to do? Silver is free, why do the have to offer you anything? They can even restrict demo downloads. Just be...
