Hi, I am a lemming. I own only a 360 as a current gen system and these are some things about my 360 that suck.

Power brick, lame and prolly should have been built in the console itself.

Loud noise while on, seriously...when i'm trying to watch a movie or when the music dies down in a game, i can hear the damn 360 from across the room.

3 red lights, hasn't happened to me yet but it's my worse fear.

180 dollar 120 gb HD, ...........20g isn't enough for me and 180 bones is to much.

and to a lesser extent, XBL bill. Just annoying going to the store once a year and dropping 50 bucks on a year-long xbl card.

thats what sucks about the 360 IMO

You arent annoyed to go to the store tro pick up agame and get $60 though? And how isnt 20 enough unless if you use it for tv shows and movies? The powerbrick I place nicely behind my entertainment system and the 3 rings is overexaggerated. check youtube, they show you have you can make it show the 3 rings with a perfectly normal 360.

Sure it would be amazing if live was free but how do you think sony is doing it? They are going to have ads all over the home service to outside companies. Every ad on live has to do with a download or the 360 in general such as a new rental, game or tournament.

The ridiculously priced accessories are what I hate the most, that and they don't reimburse your for Live when you send in your 360 to get replaced.

you are going to have to do it sometime or another...unless you plan on being homeless, or never owning a car, or a house....or even a really crappy studio apartment.

either way, you listed some things you dont like about your 360 when you could fix those problems. So really, it's kind of your fault buddy.

how is it my fault? i guess having any kind of social life is grounds for flamming. Microsoft could have easily built it into their consol such as sony did.

what does moving it around have to do with having a social life? I have 2 360's, one in my den one in my living room.

The ps3 is like 12 pounds, and then the 360 wouldn't have the same shape. It's not that easy to just, "build it in".

And if the 360 has heating problems now, if the power brick was in there it would seriously melt the hardware.

You could easily fix your problems, but you chose to just complain.

Your choice, I'm going to go enjoy my 360 now.

The thing that I despise about the 360 is the fact that it doesn't cater to my tastes.
