    Sooooo....
    what did you think this year?
    We got some great games, IMO.
    Limbo, Monday Night Combat, Lara Croft: GOL were all awesome.
    Castlevania and Hydro Thunder were just OK, but way better than TMNT:Turtles in Time from last year.
    SO, what did you think?
    Answer in the poll above?

    They ruined the console they created? After a single generation? Even though the first wasn't at all impressive? What are you saying?

    Limbo was fantastic, MNC was pretty good, everything else is just meh.

    My thoughts exactly. I don't understand how they ruined the console when they have improved the console with every update. Just because you either have vendetta against Microsoft or prefer the PS3 doesn't mean anyone ruined anything.

    Its just a very unstable console IMO, the RROD "pandemic" was and is a huge deterance for me, Its the reason I waited so long to buy an XBOX 360. Then when I heard they had fixed the problem I bought one, turns out they didnt fix the problem and I got the RROD as well as a optical drive error (68) and a few other f*ck ups. PS3 is a very stable machine, hell all the playstaitions were. My PS1 still works perfectly, same with my fatboy PS2 my skinny PS2 and my fat PS3. Microsoft just fudged up with the XBOX 360

    Aside from what iPhoneProgrammer said (he basically hit all the right spots) The console refuses to play most if not all of my xbox 360 games. Live is terrible (especially with those 5yr olds). Plus you gotta pay $50 just for Multiplayer, while the Nintendo Wii and PS3 Offer it for free.

    Alright, so the console has stability issues.
    True.
    What do you mean it doesn't run games? That certainly isn't a common issue, and the PS3 can have that issue too.
    If some 12 kids can ruin live, well, you are taking things waaay to seriously. Last time I checked there is a mute button.
    I guess you don't, but personally I find live to run and look much nicer. And if you can do any sort of deal shopping, you can find live for $30-40. For $3 a month, I will pay to have better multiplayer.
    If want to find holes in the system feel free, but I don't see how Microsoft every ruined anything. They made a perfectly fine console that many people are perfectly happy with.

    What? Anyways, Live isn't terrible by any means. The service is great, and you get what you pay for (cross-game chat anyone?). Yeah, the PS3 has good multiplayer for free, but Live still has more features. The pip-squeaks on the mics are always the go-to argument, if you don't like them, don't talk to them. Play with your friends, I'm sure you don't have in-depth conversation with random people playing COD. Nintendo multiplayer? Are you serious? What your friend code? 2893438902, oh mine is 9048953401. If you don't like it, fine, just shut up and let us play on the console.

    And what made the PS3 be immune to mic spammers?

    Limbo is the best downloadable game of the year. That means a win.

    The lack of mics for kiddies who can't afford to go out and buy more hardware.

    Even so, wouldn't one kiddie want to play with another?
    I don't own a PS3, so I gotta ask is the problem really that much better on PS3?

    No. The only reason people think it's better is that in most games, voice chat is disabled automatically unless you turn it on. Just listen to the 5-year-olds there... or the ones on Home.... -cringes-
