Question:

Why hasn't "Xbox360" gotten any criticism? I'm pretty sure that Xbox itself is a pretty lame name; the NEW Xbox doesn't even have an X on it anywhere -- at least the old one reflected its name. Even then, that system was huge, bulky, and overheated.

But honestly - let's throw a three-digit number onto the end of an already unoriginal name!!

Ex-BAHcks-three-six-tee: five syllables.
Play-stay-shun-three: four syllables, unless referred to as PS3... then three syllables.
Wii: one syllable.

Thank you!

It's interesting, because - well, I remember first hearing the price for the PS3 and thinking "Hm, that is a lot of money." And, I can't help but agree that the PS3 comes with a lot of good stuff. The problem, I think, is that - what the majority of the gaming community wants... is nothing more than a gaming system. That's just what I (and, mind you, the majority of my friends) think right about now. I realize that it's "cool" that it's like a supercomputer with BluRay (very few people know what that IS yet!) -- but... I don't want to have to pay for all THAT just so I can play a creative, innovative, good-looking video game! I for one would love for Sony to release a PS3 without BluRay, without Linux, without all that other BULLSHIT, and give me something I can just play a good-old-fashioned VIDEO GAME with.

In all honesty, if I had $600, sure, I'd get one. I think the problem that most of us are facing (whether or not we WANT a PS3) is that... well, call me poor if you so please, but I simply can't afford it!**

**Mind you, I think I could just barely purchase one... but then, I would have no games to play with. And if I were fortunate enough to buy ONE game with it, I couldn't play it with anyone else.

Phew.

Three games + 1 additional controller + PS3 itself = close to $1000.

No thanks.
