So because of some occasionally bad updates you are going to completely dismiss the PS3? You know the PS3 has had a few issues over the years, but it never had a 54.2% hardware failure rate. Everybody who owns an xbox 360, like myself, has had it red ring at least once. So sure, a firmware update that bricks consoles…

"storyline has a plot twist that robs Superman of his insane, nothing-can-stop-him power levels" That's kind of the whole reason I'd want to play as Superman. If I wanted a normal dude that just happened to be badass, I'd play Batman. You don't watch Dragonball Z to see a depowered Goku doing normal martial arts.
