[QUOTE="swamprat_basic"]Public word of mouth is that iPods are pieces of garbage that don't last more than 2 years, but everybody stills seems to be buying them.elementz28

Yes lets compare IPODs to a gaming system!! and i have my ipod for 3 years and still workin..The rate of 360s dying in a few weeks, months or even to one year is crazy..lol.. The fact remains u have a 360 it will die on you soon..haha..

Yes, let us compare iPods to video game systems. They cost the same amount of money, and they both are extremely popular. iPods were the de facto standard of mp3 players after being out for just a couple years, despite reports of the machines reaching a point where they seemed to time out. People accused Apple of building the iPods to stop working after the warranties ran out, therefore making them buy new iPods. People also complained about the irreplaceable batteries. I don't see how this is as bad a comparison as you want to make it seem.

I really liked what she did with the character, but I wish it had had a better reveal.

Except Blizzard doesn't make you pay extra money to buy their games before they come out.

Why not wait to buy the PS3 when it actually has some worthwhile games, and when it's not at its most expensive?
