Unless you're from Europe.. then it's like day 100+

But that is exactly what Microsoft did. When they promised you the world all you got was empty promises, a broken console and missing features.Just because you decided to kiss their a$$es for it isn't something to boast about. Microsoft is always standing in someone else's shadow and have never been in the front of any company. So if I were you I wouldn't defend your purchase of a next Xbox with words that define them

please elaborate since sony has provided probably the strongest gaming experiences this generation.

i'd like to know how paying $60 a year to access half of (pretty much) every game on the market is a good thing. i'd like to know how a subscription service (which is optional, and doesn't affect the level of access to any games you purchase) that provides hundreds of dollars of free/discounted content every month is "mediocre".

i'd also like to know how cycling through the same 4 exclusive IP titles (forza, gears, fable, halo) MS puts out vs the half a dozen or so new or existing exclusive IP titles sony puts out every year is anything more than mediocre.

Shame I almost feel sorry for the blind deluded xbox fanboys. Me myself own both the 360 & PS3 and even a wii because each console has something different to offer.

Keep in mind that the PS3 launch prices of $499-$599 was mainly due to blu-ray($250+) and The Cell.

Agree. Who approved this? This should never have made it through.
