Sony's only problem this gen is they don't understand America. They don't understand that in America people buy products based on marketing. You don't need to spend money on a lot of games, you only need 1 or 2 big ones with big marketing budgets.
Never get disconnected on any of my systems. Sounds like you should check your router settings or your just making stuff up.

The Toyota fiasco is what happens when you have the government involved in business. Uncle Sam had a big interest with GM in making Toyota look bad.

Knowing MS it's just another trick to get people to spend more. In this case a hard drive.
MS knows what they are doing. They know Americans buy marketing not functionality. They are still selling a ton of consoles, draining their customers on Live fees and accessories all while spending next to nothing in development and making a nice profit while they are at it.

Your better off sticking with PC/PS3 gaming. That really gives you the most games and best exclusives.
I use my PC for multiplats like Battlefield 3 and my PS3 for it's awesome exclusives.
PC and 360 share too many games.
I wish I would've known this. It would of saved me $40. Bought a MS controller for my PC.
Microsoft probably doesn't care since they have pretty much stopped supporting 360 for the last two years anyway and they are preparing for 720.
How is it bad?
Microsoft overcharges their customers, they buy developers and let them die on the vine, and overall make very few games themselves.
I really don't see the industry being much different if MS wasn't involved.
Nice they are going to have coop, that's really the only thing I would've liked on the first one. Still really fun game!
I love how they say optimized for Windows. Like that's a selling point. So I'll need 5x the power and memory.
"MS started it, then Sony followed"
I remember when 360 didn't have Blu-ray or even HDMI and all the 360 fans were like, it doesn't matter HD is a gimmick and 360 is laser focused on games. We don't need movies, internet, etc...
That's already been announced.
PS3 has always been a great piece of electronics, but the rear USB ports have been something I've wanted since day one.
@Disccordia
I think you are thinking of 360. PS3 original or slim has never had a external power supply.
Well it doesn't help that sites like Kotaku can be bought.
The week PS3 launched "Kotaku" reported a sale price at one of the stores in Japan as Sony slashing prices on PS3 trying to imply lack of interest.
Then they would go around to stores taking pictures of no lines in the middle of nowhere acting like people in Japan had no interest.
They have been heavily biased against the PS3 even flat out lying
Why wait... Just upgrade your PC :)
@MariaHelFutura I think you are right. Everytime MS releases a new product they drop the old one quickly. Their business model has always been built on pushing people to the newest products there is no reason Xbox will be any different.
@silentnegotiator
Plan on 2013. They will release next year sometime and let Xbox 360 hang on for another year, but only with 3rd party support. They have already cut their first party development to the bones for 360, their strategy is starve their players for games then when new Xbox releases they will have plenty of hungry gamers ready to make the jump.
I think it's smart, everyone is tight on money and as long as it still has room for a real harddrive. Customers can always upgrade later when they need to.
Infact, I'd welcome the lower price since I've upgraded my original harddrive on my two PS3s anyway.
