Everyone has their favorite system they prefer gaming on. Even if you're manticore you still might have a preference toward one system or another. So in the complete opposite of what System War's is usually all about, I decided it might be fun to say something you DON'T like about your favorite system (current gen). I'll start it off:

I wish the 360 would have had mandatory hard drives so developers could take advantage of being able to offload data to the HDD. Out of all the mistakes Microsoft made that could have been avoided, they should have never removed mandatory hard drives.

So, go ahead. What don't you like about your favorite system?

lol, well my Sega Genesis feels really cheap, it feels like 2 pounds, and my Xbox is too loud, and my computer has Vista and it sucks. Nothing wrong with my PS2 or GCN though. Oh yeah and the Wii has hardly any good games. Those are all my favorite so, ya.

I can't say anything about the PC, no matter how hard I try, so I'll go to favorite console, the PS3: I wish considering it has Blu-Ray which is like the ultimate HD format or whatever, it could at least play some HD video formats, (or containers in most cases). I wish the R2/L2 triggers had the edge facing up like the add-on you can purchase.

I wish there were better sports games on PC, and none of the last-gen port crap that the system has been getting for the past few years. I also have a huge gripe with Steam due to the fact that my DD copy of Raven Shield doesn't work on my main computer (error code 51, something that Valve hasn't even bothered to try and look into).

The Wii has pretty bad third party offerings from big named developers - unlike the smaller indie devs. The Wii's online system is more annoying than it is 'simple' as Nintendo says.

PC. At rare occasions it gets frustrating. Every year there is 1 game i cant get it to work without problems. In 2007 was bioshock ( i still get microshuttering and massive fps drops half way through the game). In 2008 there was mass effect ( had to go to at least 5-6 driver changes until i found the right one since ME was really picky at nvidia drivers). This year is cryostasis massive fps dropdown at high settings towards the end of the game even though it was running ok until that point with high settings ( now i have to use medium settings and i still get dropdowns)

360 - Microsoft's horribly overpriced hard drives. 120GB for $150? I bought a notebook 320GB drive for $50 months back. I also wish they supported USB drives as memory storage devices, for backing up saves without having to buy their (surprise!) overpriced memory cards. And their overpriced wireless adapter. PS3 - I wish the interface was better. You can tell it's an OS built by a hardware company - it's clunky, has too many menus and has bizarre hiccups and load times when you do things like view your friend list (seriously, you have to refresh it every time?) and your trophy list (seriously, you have to refresh it every time?). Also, no movie store in Canada, just a bunch of crappy trailers. Also, the controller is garbage, and despite the amazing processing power of TEH CELL the PS3 is completely incapable of playing my camcorder's 1080p videos at a viewable speed (they're just mp4s, for god's sake). Oh yeah, and slot loading drives suck. And NO powered USB ports when the console is in stand-by, even though the controller needs one to charge. WTF. Wii - Terrible graphics. Terrible audio. Terrible controller. Wii-Connect-24 (or whatever) is a useless feature as it results in a space heater instead of a console. Sensor bar is annoying. Friend codes...yeah. World's flimsiest panel over controller ports. Really weird disc drive noises.

When I play games, it sounds like a 747 is flying past me, but instead of flying past... It just sits there and makes noise. (360) [QUOTE="Richymisiak"]the xbox 360 is just too awesome grrr! /jk I wish you could use any hard-drive you want with it like the ps3

I agree with this as well... A 1TB Sata HD cost less than a 360 120gb, maybe even the 60gb last time I checked...

Fav console is the PS3.

Cons

- 360 generally wins with exclusive content like GTA DLC and getting PS3 exclusives multi plat.

- XBLA has more games and more exclusives.

- 360 Controller is better.

That's pretty much it.

The fact that I have to install some games on my PS3 annoys me. Even more so when the 360 can install everything but doesn't have to. I want that feature on PS3.

It would be nice if the online was free.

The HD and Wifi pricing is obscene.

The hardware is total trash.

Friend codes. I hate them. It's not just that you have a friend code...it's that every game has its own friend code. Ugh, too many friend code. Why can't we just use one friend code?

Also, I wish that when you're playing a VC game off of an SD card, hitting the 'home' button had an option to return to the SD menu, instead of sending you all the way back out to the Wii menu.

3rd parties need to take the Wii alot more seriously, as its support in that area is lacking.

Friend codes are annoying.

8 or 9 different systems are now represented in the Virtual Console; what's with the (extremely) questionable choices in weekly releases? Also, why isn't the Amiga on the VC yet!?

I like Mario, Zelda and Metroid just as much as the next sheep, but it wouldn't kill Nintendo to start working on some new IPs or at least resurrecting some forgotten ones (you know you want Wii Ice Climbers...)

Wish they had a better controller (somethign a bit more comfortable (like GC and 360s).

Wish it had the jak and daxter series sooner on it.

The fact that the PS3 doesn't break as often as the 360, so I don't get any breaks from it to get my head straight.

On a serious, nonfanboyish note though, probably the lack of certain online features like cross chat.

Wish it came out with a bigger HDD. 20GB filled with just a couple of XBLA games 1 game install and 2 tv episodes. WTF. That means I cant buy anything anymroe from XBL marketplace.

Outrageous wireless adapter price. Unforgivable. Srsly.

Extra HDD must be made by MS.

Have to pay to play your games with friends. Makes Silver guys feel like this:
