So many Sony fans here...I just have to ask. Why? (Long Read)

dont tell me to shut the fuck up.

As much as I take pride as a gamer in my consoles and games I take great offense when people make ignorant assumptions that just because they personally didn't have any issues with said console that the person is either lying or they mistreated the consoles. Hell I love my 360 but I'm not blind to the fact that there are people out there that have already had them breakdown, some people have already had many and it wasn't their fault. Just like Sony did (though much sooner than Sony) MS has acknowledged the problem with 360s, came up with a solution for all future machines, extended warranties for that specific problem (3 Red Lights of Doom) and offers free repairs for it. Sony did a similar thing for the DRE Disease issue. PS2 breakdown % was quite high, around 5-10% of all PS2s made within the first year of release.

I support none of the new consoles. My X Box turned to crap real shortly after I bought it. The CD drawer quit working. Sometimes I have to fumble with it for a while before I can get it open. I heard they didn't fix that on the 360 either. I don't even want to know how long the average PS3 lasts before one of the 8 processors fries itself. And $600 for a game console? Fuck that. Better come with a blow job a day for a year. I still like the old skool systems: Atari, Super Nintendo (the original NES was cool too but broke too easily. you remember having to blow out the cartridges?), N64, Sega. Those were the good consoles. Why did we ever stray from the cartridges to CD and DVD based consoles. Cartridges operated so much faster and were so much tougher than these damn CDs. We figured out how to fit gigs and gigs of solid state memory into really small flash drives, something CDs can't touch. The newer game consoles are all overengineered pieces of crap. I might upgrade to one of today's systems when tomorrow's are released and the price drops dramatically. But I'll still always be a die hard Atari fan.

that same thing happened to my buddies 360 now he just plays his snes and psx all day long he said fuck microsoft.

i got my ps2 like the year after they came out and never had any problems eventually its stopped playing all cd-roms and audio cd's and would only play dvd discs which really pissed me off but i dealt with it since most of the games are on dvd format anyway. but eventually that one just died stopped working one day and i got one of the new slim ones havnt had any problems with it so far.
