Sony has treated me like a customer and I couldn't be more happy about that. I am not a sheep, I'm not a tool, I'm a compensator for their products, I buy their products. They have always made sure that the end consumer gets the best deal, and that outside of it, it is quality. I'm not advocating for them, I've just never had a problem with their products.

Point is, they do something and do it well, and that's all I wanted as a gamer.

Nintendo and Sega were horrible days, I hated how consoles just "ended." And I would have to buy a new system, because no more new games were out for the system. I mean seriously, it couldn't have been selling that bad, I had money for it. I got into the NES, boom, no more new games. Ok... Genesis looks cool... bam.... they cut new game support.

Hmm what about the PS1, with FF8 and FF7.... over 8 years later I'm still a Sony gamer.

(There was the incident where I got a N64... but by that time, no more new games, you can imagine I was pissed that the games were wayyy too expensive and hard to find now. I always give Nintendo a chance, but the N64 was the worst console for a kid. How were you supposed to know what games to get. I had like 2 games for the N64)

I have a DS, and Wii sure, they're great, Nintendo shaped up a bit after awhile, but I can't forget that I was treated like a consumer by Sony and their products, and I'm always a little bit pissed inside on what Nintendo pulled on me.

The Wally's have been owned.

Target will win this console war! 

[QUOTE="thedarkomen"]I'm a poor college student and I was able to afford it easily. /end thread.Firelore29

Just because you were able to afford one doen't make it a good value. Heck I can go buy a Porche tomorrow if I wanted to but that wouldn't make it a smart decision.

Well it isn't a good value when your driving a 1000$ used car that breaks often.

Hmm... reminds me of a certain other console.

/owned 

[QUOTE="ff7isnumbaone"]Um how the company that has lasted the longest for the last 11 years. SONY Ps3!ExactlyEv

Nintendo, in the gaming industry, has been around for more than 25 years.

I highly doubt the PS3 will last long. Lack of games, lack of support by the consumer sector, over priced system, and technical problems with backwards compatibility.

I don't care if you say the PS3 is so much more powerful, the XboX was so much more superior to the PS2, what happened there?

[QUOTE="thedarkomen"][QUOTE="snyper1982"][QUOTE="thedarkomen"]

This is really disturbing from the lemming side. They keep saying that most of the 360 defects in many topics is the fault of the user. That they don't ventilate it. I highly extremely doubt that in all the 20+ years of gaming that its the user's entire fault that a hardware fails. I mean honestly, it happens out of the blue for many people, and all you can do is blame your own kind and do some damage control. The first Ps2s weren't such a great quality, but they fixed it real quick. And yet you have these 360s breaking after warranty, and all you do is blame gamers. What are you, Jack Thompson?

Are you telling me that users suddenly decided to throw their 360 down the stairs? Really?

 

This 360 defect is an epidemic, it's not some overblown feature, too many reports from even established bloggers and news sites. This can't be true that its nothing, even the xbox site has a huge topic in its forum about defects.

What's your excuse about this?

It is blown out of proportin. It is a higher than normal number of defects, but not anywhere near as much as people make it out to be. i would guess along the order of 5 percent.

I said it is higher than normal.... 5% is a LOT of xboxes.... Do the math. Some people make it sound like every other xbox is breaking down though.
