@shiss27 Not sure that the PS3 was better than the xbox360 to be perfectly honest. It also seems that the US made console are truly making a next gen system, this generation is ALL about being online. Unless of course you have no job, live in a trailer park or a cave.
Always online is of absolutely no concern to me at all. My ISP hasn't missed a beat in 6+ years, good online connectivity isn't an issue. I'll definitely be buying the next xbox.
@Draconarius Considering that EB Games in Australia let you purchase any game and return it no questions asked after 7 days, I'd say your argument it pretty weak pal.
In my day we played an Pong in black and white or upgraded to the next gen Atari 2600, I fondly remember playing this game called Adventure where you control a fucking square block around the screen and attack a dragon that looked more like a crude duck, we controlled this square block with a flimsy fucking joystick with ONE button and we never fucking complained, not once.
The generation of gamers we have now (not all of you but most of you) are the single biggest bunch of whiny demanding children I've witnessed in all of my years as a gamer. You bitched and moaned when a game like Skyrim didn't have clear and crisp fucking 'shadows' of all things, you whine like a red headed step child when they try and advance the next generation to being online only, you throw fits of infantile rage when they mention they may look at eliminating second hand games. Put your handbags down, harden the **** up, get a job and for **** sake stop it with your tears.
Next we'll see most of you ladies crying because you paid for a ticket to the movies, watched it and then wanted to sell it to the next whining clown that didn't want to pay. Get off welfare and get a job.
@Ghosthunter54 I want an online console. May as well do it now because that's where its heading, like it or not. Almost everything will require an online connection in the years to come, from your everyday shopping, household appliances, entertainment even when you take a crap on the toilet.
