Well, tough titty

Doesn't work like that does it? Or shall we create a "Wii is shit", "PS3 is shit" etc. threads too?

..except when it's people who are actually working with both machines telling you what they think, surely?
Old_but_still_a_kid wrote:Yes I want a PS3. Why? ok... think about this for a second...how much is a 360, a budget "PC", and a Blu-Ray/HDDVD video player? Well that's exactly what you will be getting from Sony, all 3.
If that's how you want to justify it

But given that you
could buy a 360, HD-DVD drive and a PC that will certainly be a better "PC" than you're going to get with the PS3/Linux combo... Oh, and you'd actually have some games worth playing, too.
But, you already have a PC, and a 360, so why you don't just buy the HD-DVD player and get everything you need for 1/4 the price...

Strange comment. Did anyone specifically tell you that?
Anyway, I don't think anybody is trying to say "PS3 SUXX0R". It's just the insistance from certain quarters that it's so much better than everything else, which, by all accounts, is a complete load.
Nothing is worth the effort you put into it.
