I actually bought a console

The X-Box 360 and it's fucking worthless hardware that can be relied on to malfunction is an idiots choice. I don't care if the games are great, I don't buy worthless machines.

Wow, married and you can still insult other things? Damn, that wasn't expected. So, with your logic, those who buy an Xbox 360 are idiots? That's pretty rude, but you're forgiven. (What I mean is what I expected was that when you grew up, things like insulting things or saying things just as bad disappeared. Don't take it too personally, I'm just stating my reaction.)[/quote]


No, young man, we adults are still able to sling around the harsh critiques, we just refrain from telling people we don't like, that they're gay, fags, homos and other rather grade school sounding put downs.

Usually the best way to realize you're being slagged off by an adult, is you are required to read a minimum of 5000 words accompanied by charts tables and other supportive dialogue accompanied with links that will send you to supportive evidence. But I understand the attention span of most young people is fairly brief, which is likely why 'you're gay' is normally preferred

Now as for 'idiots' choice, I meant it. Spending a few hundred bucks on a machine, that EVERYONE knows has a 54% break down rate (likely when you are at a critical moment in your game), and is so unreliable that even Microsoft is willing to accept it's worthless by extending a supposedly great warrantee all so they can say 'no problem we'll fix it for you'. That doesn't cut it in the world of proper merchandise. I wouldn't buy a TV under those conditions, nor a stove, or a power tool. I find it alarming that X-Box fans so willingly let MS get away with this all for the love of a few titles made to play on it.

If the PS3 had this reputation, I wouldn't have bought it either.

If you want to see how we adults normally converse though, check out any popular wargaming forums out there, and start talking about Obama or Global Warming
Make sure you have on your thickest hide though. We don't settle for 'you're gay' and leave it at that.

You know, I'm 14 years old. Just saying that some people are stupid because of the choice of a console is far too much. Really, you'd like it to be mocked like that? Some people have stronger reactions than others, remember that. And adults don't technically have to be speaking "Obama or Global Warming". You can speak of whatever you want to, but just placing the slightest insult is, to me, useless (and I never said I'd call someone else gay or homo, as that would be saying those persons are actually bad). Just a single argument doesn't have to finish itself on the hard way though; if you were insulted from what I said, I'm apologizing immediately. We could still be friends, you know, there's always a place for friendly chats.

X=Box 360 = machine with a dreadful reliability issue but games good enough that fan boys seem unwilling to crucify Microsoft over it.
Nintendo = haha we own your children now give us money dad. The Wii likely was a fluke of good timing.[/quote]

Actually, the PS3 isn't pirate proof at all. But when you consider the cost of a blueray burner drive and blank blueray discs, you need to want that free game fairly intensely currently

And while a PS3 isn't indestructible (nothing is), it still hasn't gotten to the 54% rate yet

Keeping recipes is not a problem for the wise though. If I paid more than 20 bucks for it, chances are I kept the receipt.
Buying good brand named items with decent warranties is pointless if you don't have proof of purchase normally.

Irony though is what it is. I once bought the son a PS1 and a brand new one too. Died on us right at the start. It was warranted though. Funny thing is he later got a modded one that is still running several years later.
