I was too until I realized that I'm tired of paying extra for EVERYTHING.

I bought a charger too eventually. That wasn't my point.

After the third or fourth time I had it repaired I sold it and bought a PS3. I was actually praying to get the RROD just so I would get the three year warranty, never got it though. :cuss:

I had my launch 360 until the slim came out. Only had it repaired once (video card failed).

Eh, I don't mind it.

I only pay additional $$$ for XBL (which isn't terribly bad) and new games if I want them.

That's about it.

As I mentioned before, the PS3 didn't exist when I bought my 360.

Plus the players that use Ps3's are just better people overall.

It was a few year ahead of its time and priced way high.....took a few years to finally catch on, but the PS3 is an excellent piece of hardware.

Actually both the XBOX and PS3 are going to be around for a long time, even when the next gen stuff comes around. Amazing to think they have both lasted 6 or 7 years now with no replacement. How much better can gaming get?

I really only play it when some of my old buds are wanting to jump on COD and 360 is all they have -- or when a killer XBLA game hits the stores (not too often, last one I bought was Fez). This will be my last year to pay for Gold membership.

:eek: No shit. I WIN MOTHER****ER!!! :p

Surprised no one mentioned that the PS3 has a remote controller for playing Blu Rays. IIRC, ****er may be universal and programmable to your TV and Cable box.

Not at all. We just went back and forth on it in the fanboi days. I was shocked as **** to read that post. Glad to have you on the right side though. :D

Ah yeah.. I was hardcore..
Well i'm actually a part of the master race now (but my PS3 is my main console).

The joystick is the remote.

It's hard for non-gamers to adapt to but if you're use to a controller it's no big deal...

Now that I know the controller is rechargeable, I'm fine with using it.

If you read back, my beef was that the factory XBox 360 controller uses batteries so using it as a remote can either be very inconvenient or very expensive, depending on whether or not you leave it on all the time.
