They probably parked those in the back to balance the weight...

I totally agree...democrats are silly.

Not quite....I have always felt that Sunny Delight was the farthest.

Do we have to pay extra for that?

I could not care less whether or not they support even a single exclusive game...I mean really, what difference does that make to me as the customer whether or not they also make exclusive games in addition to consoles?

Not to mention taking a $1 billion hit to extend the warranty to 3 years when they did not have to...jerks.

Meh...PC gaming is boring, requires too much work and money.

What I am pointing out is your use of fanboy statistics, not backed up by anything close to fact. And you just pointed that out yourself that your 22 million number is straight out of your ass...Even IF your 33% of all pre-slim 360 failure rate number was correct, you decided to toss out 33% of ALL consoles sold.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...Some people like to watch Jersey Shore, others like to watch National Geographic channel, and others *gasp* enjoy watching sporting events.

Have owned about 4-5 in the last 6 years or so....2 that are actively being used today.

So, your saying there are more 360's out there RR-inged than there are actual PS3;s being actually used for game playing? Yeah, that sounds about right...I might put the PS3's actually being used at more like 15 million...worldwide

I have heard that their "take"/revenue from ALL Live services...membership dues + their cut of DLC sales and such...that number is in the Billions.

Curious...Steam / PC online supporting voice / party chat yet? I mean, in game, not some third party hookup like talking on Skype with certain friends?

Well then, there you go, so dont pay for it...your experience sounds a lot like my interest in PC online gaming and content.

Well, I pay to have and use the better service, but I can see your point...but in the end, it is all so intertwined in Live....the basic service vs. the additional, it just could not be done to seperate the two at this point to accomodate customers like yourself, I dont think.

Having played online multiplayer on both systems, I can tell you for a fact my "experience" was nowhere near the same. My "experience" from trying to play online via PSN compared to Live was, in short, frustrating and dissapointing ..for all of the reasons that L337fool mentioned.

While I agree it the number of "dead" consoles out there from RROD is not an insignificant numbers...not sure how it is anyone outside of Microsoft could even hazard a guess at what the actual number is.

Been trolling long or is this a new thing for you?

Could be...like many others, I will evaluate in 9 months time what it is I got and what it was that I valued and then decide whether to renew or cancel. As long as it is somewhat close to "break even" I probably will keep it, assuming I keep with "the franchise" year in and year out...

Ask the owners of any company, whether that company takes in $10,000 in annual revenue or $10,000,000,000, ask them if they would like more revenue / more return on their investment or not....They are going tosay, yes, please, I would like more.
