With the rushed console you got:

Positives (+)

Lots more early exclusivesthan ps3.

A good headstart out of the gate.

More sales than Wii/ps3

Negatives (-)

Crap Hardware/ MASSIVE FAILURES / LONG shipment times/

bogus 3 year warranty to cover up the problem

X07 nowhere to be found?

No Wifi

Core system? tHey should've thought this out.

ANd some points to mention.

Wii is going to pass 360 any minute now

Ps3 will INEVETABLEY pass 360 in sales. (quote me on this, take a picture, write a report). But its true. Dont live in deniial.

so was the headstart really worth it?

So would you rather microsoft just waited until 2006 to launch 360 to saccrafice sales and more games, to have better hardware??

or are you happy now?

Launch console works great and played all the greatest games from 2005 to date - Yeah I'm very happy I'm not waiting & waiting & more waiting thank you very much.

The waiting game seems like what the other console fans love best about their system of choice - but not me !

all you lemmings are living in denial.

you know you would have rather waited.

because first of all microsoft shafted you with only a 4 year life of the xbox, just to release the CRAP 360 early. basically you guys LOST.

How is X07 related to the launch date?

How is the 3 year warranty "bogus". Do you even know what "bogus means"?

For that matter, do you even know the RROD problem in detail?

Theres no evidence the PS3 will pass the X360. Not that I would care either way. The 360 is the most rounded console this generation.

Deal with it.

Why are you so angry? Waiting for those PS3 games?

I have all the consoles this gen, and I am glad the 360 released when it did.

i personally loved this post. Yes, i have a PS3, and yes, i have been playing the waiting game for this fall (awesome games!), but while i've been waiting i've been playing my 360. And answering your questions, yes, i do wish they waited to release the 360 later. It would have pwned lauch, with insane release titles, and it wouldn't have these hardware problems

I'm glad I bought mine when I did, it has given me no problems whatsoever and I've had basically an extra year of enjoyment out of my 360 for the same price as someone who bought one today. Besides, if it ever does crap out on me I know a guy high up at EB, so freebie replacements FTW.

I have never had a problem with my launch 360. But I know it lacks hardware reliability. My friend had two fail on him.

To be fair though, I went through two PS2's and Sony didnt have an extended warranty on the CD Laser crapping out (then my DVD laser a couple of months later) and the DVD/CD tray refusing to come out (on the 2nd one).

Both PS3 and 360 will have good games. I really dont care who wins the console wars as I think fanboys lose out on all both systems have to offer.

Igot mine 9/23/06 before gears came out. Its worked fine but its not a launch console and Ive had plenty of gametime. I thinks its a great console and this holiday is going to be huge for MS, I think XBL is a great service but its a rip off.

Kudos for a great counter point; do PS3 owners wish they had waited for the price cut and saved a $100.00 since the 360 is the same price from Nov. 2005 to date - LMAO - great point on you're part !

If the hardware probs and disk scratching issues would've been fixed b/c of waiting, then thousand times yes.
