*Some* of the new 360 drives are tolerable. The new Jasper in my house sounds worse than some of the older first gen 360s.
Well the older gens are being phased out and *all* of the new slim models are very quiet.

That is an invailid argument. The newer 360's disc drives are very tolerable... Also, after the 4gb fills up you can just go buy an 8gb flash drive for real cheap, heck 16gb are even pretty cheap now a days.
Love the title. How about on Tuesdays between 7am and 8:45am?
Anyways, at this rate Sony may catch up in total worldwide sales some time in the next generation.
Their entertainment division lost $1.28 billion the first year of the 360 and $1.89 billion the second. http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=8118 While the division has been making money the last 3 years, they haven't overcome their losses. It's still almost $2 billion in the red.
Don't forget they also lost $4 billion on the first Xbox.
My 2 Jaspers at home would disagree with you, My sons and mine are both loud as hell and pretty much any game we're going to keep we install.

Nintendo is awesome... That is that. Maybe not for the hardcore gamer but there are a lot more casual gamers out there then Hardcore gamers and about 10x the amount of people that know what Halo is, Know what Mario is. Well done Nintendo, Well done.
Well, I'm happy with my 360. 250GB HD, built in Wifi, HDMI, awesome online service and plenty of good games to keep me occupied for a long time.
I loved the original Halo, it was by far one of my favorite console FPS' of all time.
Then Halo 2 came out and sucked balls. Halo 3 felt and looked dated (but the music, characters,and plot were fantastic) and imo the only thing ODST had going for it was a fantastic soundtrack. I'm thinking I just like the Halo universe more than the games?
...or you just could have had a duff unit. It does happen.This is unacceptable for a redesigned console which I EXPECTED the past issues of it's predecessors to be resolved.

Fair enough. I've had a Wii, PS3 and a 360 break on me this gen... so I'd be doing a lot of PC gaming if I worked the same way.
Several weeks ago I picked up a 360 S. Three days later I returned it for a full refund. The console seemed to get very hot and locked up. This is unacceptable for a redesigned console which I EXPECTED the past issues of it's predecessors to be resolved.
Still wanting a console, I decided on the PS3 Slim and couldn't be happier. The interface is well designed and intuitive unlike the 360. It's very quiet and doesn't get anywhere near as hot as the 360 did. Not too mention it plays my networked media beautifully unlike the 360. This has also enabled me to remove my laptop which was hooked up to my LCDTV for media purposes. The PS3 has taken on all duties.
I'm also really enjoying the PSN and joined Plus for the free games and discounts. Ultimately in my opinion, the PS3 outweighs the 360 greatly. Furthermore as a casual PC Gamer, I'm surprised I've been spending as much time as I am with the PS3 while my PC gaming has declined. Maybe it's the couch potato aspect.
Games currently for the PS3: Super Street Fighter IV, Fallout 3, MotorStorm, Marvel Vs. Capcom 2, WipeOut HD Fury, and Super Puzzle Fighter HD Remix.

If Plus is a scam then what is Live?
TBH I don't agree with the fee on any system, but I fell less ripped off over Live as it has features I actually want and use.
Yeah, but it's easy enough to live without Plus. If you're a online gamer a 360 is absolutely neutered without Live.
I'm guessing you're not being entirely serious... because that's one of the biggest number of sales for any console in July ever. It's more sales per week than the PS3 managed when the slim was released (98k a week vs 110k a week), and that was a September, which usually sees higher sales than the summer months.I think that may have something to do with the 360 slim release, personally id have thought they would have sold way more 360s last month, kind of disappointing for MS really.
