My guess is if the original was still being made & supported it would'nt even come close,it certainly worked for the ps2,shove ya 360 sideways where the sun don't shine,perhaps ya next console won't be under resourced with defective parts & piss poor quality control,then maybe then i might have a bit more confidence in buying one but for now i'll stick with the good ol' pox 1

xbox live is a better service that what playstation is offering, but is it worth 30-40 punds a year, i think so. Would you rather be spammewd with advertisements and get xbox live for free or would you rather pay?

i would certainly rather have the spam.
in my experience, however, the only functional difference
between xbox live and psn is in the speed of the downloads.
it's funny, because they really do have a great price and game selection.
i'm at the same place i was when i first decided not to buy a 360;
it's seems like a great follow-up to the original xbox,
but it's a matter of principle for me not to get one.

Sony did have a great formula in mind with the ps2 unfortunatly they
they did everything the opposite way with the ps3 and sales are showing that as they are in dead last place.

it's great that nintendo took sony's ps2 formula and expanded upon it,
and have went from last back to first in a matter of one generation.
too bad most people don't seem to like the formula this time around.
guess it's the part that got added on that makes them run away.

Not sure what you mean regarding opposite way,it can't be to do with online as that part was an after thought for the PS2,the PS3 i have to say is more than a match for the 360, even online the lag is no where near like it was for the PS2,i was quite suprised about that if i had'nt seen it with my own eyes i would never have believed it when my nephew came up to stay in the holidays,the game he played was Bad Company,considering the amount of players in the room,i saw little if no lag at all not like the PS2 is,even offline it's not hard for the PS2 to lag in game,burn out would be the worst for that...lol...,yeah anyway i suspect the PS3 lags behind only because of price even the games are freak'n expensive or certainly downunder anyway.

Kinda figured they would eventually surpass the original XBOX I mean they did stop production a few years back I beleive. The orginal is still a great system to me because of all the mods they have out for it.

Explains why they banned so many people's consoles (probably to relieve server stress to due to the NXE). Heck I just bought a second 360, so I think Microsoft will reach the 25Mil mark.
