Mike from Tacoma: cell phones on a passenger?
As always, when people start talking about the consoles they usually start and end by comparing HD space.
Before my stance is undermined let me state some things. I do not own a PS3. I do own a Xbox 360 and a Wii.
The PS3 has 2.5 features over the Xbox 360.
The first being this magical thing called wireless networking. Now that I think about it the Xbox 360 is the ONLY platform that does not have wireless.
PSP? check
DS? yup
Wii? Indeed
iPhone? OMG yes
Zune? Seriously Microsoft….
And due to microsoft wanting to rake you over the coals, the wireless adapter costs $100
The second thing they are missing is something that THEY ALREADY MAKE! A browser. I will not run down the same list again, but you get the idea.
And the .5 is hdmi. only one of the models of Xbox 360 has the beloved hdmi port.
And do not get me started about the messed up proprietary HDs and…*sigh*
I am sure this rant is late but I had only 1 BoL on my ipod Shuffle during a 2 hour road trip so I heard you talk about over and over.

PS the PS3 also cures cancer :p (FaH ftw)
PPS I know the fragmentation is horrible, but it is late. I apologize in advance if I offended Molly’s Grammar Sense. (Hmm super power?)
