PSN is down..
futz:
Pretty sure BrownMasterV is a PC player, at least it sounds this way to me, and not a MS fanboy like you make it sound like. Just a rough guess though.
Btw, I find it funny when people refer to their PS3 as a superior console because it has a blu ray, when you know that 90% of their movies / video, are just downloaded from the interwebs and not actual blu ray :D (and 9% still DVDs)
Maybe it ain't your case, but I had to point out the useless argument.

Maybe, but that's kinda pointless to not even make a sentence and post it in a thread that's not even relevant... but it's whatever.
And I'm not talking about movies or videos... some games on the 360 (even PC) have to come in multiple discs while the PS3 only needs one.... it's less hassle in general.

you have to admit though (well, you probably won't - but that's really more a problem with you) that it is kinda stupid to come with a xbox360 counter if the poster was sweet-taunting criticizing being bound to one specific (bottleneck) system as used in every console. with console being the word of interest (thus includes the xbox).
i believe it's pretty much relevant - after all you are whining about the shitty PSN being down. i really enjoy imagining the "funny pictures" of PC players happily playing while the PS3 players are sitting in the dark :D
in that regard the multiple dvds argument is lol-worthy too. on a pc you install a game once, and after that you put one dvd in the drive at most - for most new games you do that once to register your game, and after that the game does not require a cd/dvd anymore - on the not the legal way you never require a hard medium at all.

Bottleneck systems? True, we have one hardware for 5+ years... We have to deal with... oh wait, we DON'T have to deal with upgrading drivers, worrying about viruses, upgrading hardware, worrying about harddrive space, running defrags, installing games, updating games, etc etc. All I have to do for 5 years is pay for a $400 system... and buy any game I want... pop it into console and I'm ready to play a game. Inferior? I don't think so or at least not at my standards... streamlined? Definitely more than a PC.

Oh, you have to install games still? I just pop in a disc and my console eats it like "nom-nom-nom" and plays my game. That's the thing with consoles, I can own the entire library of a console and never have to worry about harddrive space. True, some games require an install, but that's to improve load times or cache files on the internal harddrive. I wouldn't have to worry about filling 180 GBs of space with save files and the one and every third game that requires an install of no more than 1 Gig.
Micharus:
You can't really compare PC's and Consoles.
A Console is made to do a handful of things well, while a PC is made to do many many things as well as it's configuration will allow it to.
Back on topic, it's a bugger that the PSN is still down, but I don't blame them for wanting to find out HOW it was exploited in the first place so that it can't be done again.
What is the good of getting it all back on-line if some annoying sod is just going to crash it again?
Just for the record, no, I don't own a console.
