you made it about the merits by claiming it's nothing more than a paperweight and ignoring any of its strengths.. denying what it is. And you aren't the only one.. most do. You're a true fool to think the PS3 and Xbox 360 are exactly alike.. they aren't. Graphically they might look about the same (or exact same) but the PS3 can run more calculations per second than any other system. I don't think it's the best system ever, I just recognize it can perform more at once than the others. On top of that, if Blu-Ray is used a game can be large and rich with detail. The fact no one even cares to look at ANYTHING good about the PS3 around here is just retarded. And launch titles? WHO THE FUCK CARES!? did you go buy a PS3? no? ok then, stfu? do you REALLY need to buy the new system RIGHT at launch? You don't have the patience to wait for a few months to see the games coming out on each system? see the way developers are taking things? hmm... guess that's to be expected in our society of rush rush rush.
As for congress.. I wouldn't put much worry on that.. If there truly are so many gamers in the world.. as long as they vote and make sure to take notice of the stance of who they are voting for and if it is ok to them well.. there won't be a problem for gamers most likely. And you can always fight congress on things.. raise support and whatnot.. you just need to put in the work and effort.. but I guess you'd be too lazy for that eh? I know I would be.. mostly cause I don't care that much.. They wanna limit some game titles? whatever, I won't care. I can still have fun otherways, games aren't the most important thing to me.
