Just wondering what people hate most about there own console. For Example: On My PS3 I hate the fact that it doesn't come with a headset so games sound very empty. So SW any complaints about yours?

Yeah I've gotten it twice...

Anyway, I only have minor gripes. For instance, when I'm playing a game and somebody signs on, there's just a dull looking gray box in the upper right corner with a generic smiley face on the left with the person's name that signed on. It's always something that I felt was going to be changed but here we are 4 years down the line and it still looks like a feature out of a Beta for PSN. Sony needs to make that a little more appealing

PS3

It won't play my MP3s from my flashdrive and Installs.

360

Pay for online, Rip offs (Wi-Fi adapter, hardrives)

Wii

No real online service such as XBL and PSN.

A lot of people don't have mics. In my opinion, its well worth the money. And I don't even have the official one :P I got the madcatz one at gamestop for $20 and it works fine.

360: It's overall crappyness.

PS3: Crap games other than one, mgs4. And every other game looks better on the s**ty xbox.

PSP: No second thumbstick

PC: Stuck with an AGP motherboard from 5 years ago.

PS3:

  • Dust (i've got the old ps3)... or, the sixaxis (my dog chewed up my dualshock 3, so i've gone back to using sixaxis :x )

360:

  • MS Points... get rid of this crap please

Wii:

  • no 1st party rechargeable battery solution means using overpriced 3rd party rechargeable battery stations that don't last nearly as long as my 360/PS3 controllers and require taking the wiimote out of the motion+ thing everytime i need to recharge the stupid thing

PC:

  • sometimes after spending all day doing work the last thing i wanna do is sit in front of a computer :?

I hate that I didn't put a big enough HDD in my PC. So because of that, I just had to buy a 500GB external HDD.

Wii: The Online Service

It needs to be better. I want Demos, Better Downloadable games like Braid or Super Street Fighter HD Remix and DLC for my Wii games. I also want something less Laggy heck the Wii's Online Service was made specifically for the DS so why not step it up a bit for the Wii I mean it's a Console not a Handheld.

Xbox 360: The Online Service

I have to PAY to play games ONLINE??? REALLY I HAVE TO GIVE YOU MONEY TO PLAY ONLINE?????? THIS ISN'T A MMO!

PS3: The Online Service

PSN Plus Sucks, Sony. Where's the games? You don't have most of the Games that the 360 has on your Online store! Downloads on there take forever! and updates too!

PC: Hardware.

I can't believe I don't have the right specifications to play this game.....:cry:

DSi: The Online Service

DSiWare Games? oh and the Browser sucks too.

PSP: Space

For a Regular PSP I have to go and buy a specific Memory Stick in order to save games. That's horrble Sony...Horrible.

Some of Sony's UI design decisions make me want to punch a baby. For instance: Why do we have to hit Circle after installing something? What other meaningful action are we going to take on that screen? Hell, why do we have to manually install content at all? What else were we going to do with it? Why is streaming media broken up into different types, instead of breaking it up by source and then optionally filtering by type? Why can't you sort your purchase list or batch re-download content (say, "grab all undownloaded content for this game")? Why can't you view DLC on your hard drive on a per-package basis? Why are trophies synced upon viewing instead of in the background? They've cleaned up some of the other stuff (the old Store was particularly grating), but there are still plenty of things that lack polish.

No MKV support on the PS3. Not related to video games, but it'd be nice if it had it.

PS3 has KB support... not for games though.

wii online requires friend codes

ps3 the updates online is not good for making parties

360 when you buy an originalmicrosoft studios xbox game it will get bundled with a better xbox

ds alot of mediocre titles nobody really wants 2 play

psp. battery life great games if they were not rehashed ps2/ps3 games

pc hardware specs pay to play online

MKV is a video codec, not a keyboard (if I'm not mistaken lol).

Even though I have a hard drive with my 360, it's stupid how it's not standard, and devs can't assume there'll be one for each 360 they make a game for, affecting how they program the games.

I don't have a BC Ps3 so that's my biggest gripe about it. My 360 Elite doesn't have wireless internet. My Wii isn't in HD..

PS3: Not all games support custom music. I plug in a Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro 2 Joystick into my PS3 and my ps3 recognizes it but I have no games that can utilize it. The PS3 browser is pathetic, but it works so it is only a partial con.(PS3 browser is only good if you don't have a working comp) It doesn't clean my room and enhance my body when I sleep.(It claims to do everything) 360: I don't have one. Wii: RUN AWAY DON"T GET HIT BY THE WII! PC: Having to research hardware. Having Mcafee attack windows XP like it was a virus and killing my computer.(too bad I can't find the XP install disc!!!!!!!!!!!)

Yeah I've gotten it twice...

Anyway, I only have minor gripes. For instance, when I'm playing a game and somebody signs on, there's just a dull looking gray box in the upper right corner with a generic smiley face on the left with the person's name that signed on. It's always something that I felt was going to be changed but here we are 4 years down the line and it still looks like a feature out of a Beta for PSN. Sony needs to make that a little more appealing

It only happens to those who dont take care of there ps3s IMO.

360: paying online to play p2p hosted games. my premium xbox red ringed on me 4 times, ms repairs it for free, but its still a hassle. no $$$ to buy a newer model. ps3: i have to mute most people because they buy crappy headsets or have volume all the way up. i also hate the controller for fps games. i hate that it cant send voice messages like my 360.

wii - serious lack of quality games, no dvd player

ps3 - cant playmy own music during games. i mean i know its easy enough to just mute the music and just play my own music through my computer or whatever, but i just dont understand why i cant play the 30 or so gigs of music that i have stored on my ps3 while im playing games.

360

  • No Blu-ray player
  • Phat: Bulky HDD, faulty hardware
  • Slim: Finger-print hell, touch buttons

PS3:

  • No trophy support for many early PS3 titles
  • Lacks optional game install
  • XBL > PSN (IMHO)

Wii:

  • No achievement/trophy support
  • No HD
  • No HDD

Trophies - People can look at my profile and judge me ( when I have 5% on Disgaea 3 even though I have played it for more than 300 hours before the trophy patch )
