Yeah, Sony is infecting the world, but the PS3 isn’t that bad. It’s just more expensive, have less games, and it’s kinda worst. I bought the 360 and I ain’t disapointed, and it’s still feet-to-feet with the PS3… Also, I heard that M$ is buying rights to build a Blu-Ray Drive for the 360

Well I thought the PS3 was overpriced for what it offered. The 360 was a good deal but I dont buy anything made by Microsoft if I can avoid it so I bout a Wii 8)

I am suspicious of any format competition among companies. Whichever win “the game”, both sides won’t “win” my respect. I like companies which try to offer better services.

However, I find my needs are more complicated than that. I like some ideas from Nintendo but I don’t play games. If they make many more apps which help me to learn new things, I may buy them, though. I once thought of buying but I cannot give up my habit of customizing PC. At the moment, I use Microsoft, Google, open source products and some “free” apps such as Avast! simply because they fit my needs.

I have a wii too. I bought it at launch, and I wasn’t disapointed at it. I mean, medal of honor on the wii rocks.

We have an Xbox, but it collects dust, don’t want a PS3, I like Sony products, personally have never had an issue with them, but I couldn’t justify spending that much on a game console, so I too bought a Wii.

Bought it on Black Friday of 2006, I was first in line and the store only had three ;D

Love Zelda, RedSteel was OK, Sonic was OK, and Super Mario Galaxy is my favorite game so far that I have. Bought Wii Play for the extra remote, but I like Wii Sports better.

Anyways back on topic, I think it’s better that Blu-Ray won, it is the superior format, and in my opinion, it is the format that will have the longer shelf life, so over time I believe the average consumer will save money because with Blu-Ray’s longer shelf life they won’t have to purchase the next major movie format as soon.

Snap, I hate Sony and haven’t bought a single Sony product since the rootkit, they want to treat us like thieves I will treat them in the same way. That is why I hate the blu-ray format winning as it doesn’t leave a route to avoid Sony.

Yes, I can understand how you feel, I too was upset with Sony, but it looks like we will have to live with it, Blu-Ray will be the next major media disc format and most people will adopt it eventually.

Very good point. Blu-Ray does hold more Data so I think its better for large Backups, but I would have been happy with either format as both hold a great deal more than a DVD
