My Wii gets used every day, whereas my PS3 only seems to exist in my house to stream media anymore, and my 360 only gets used when my buddy in Tucson wants to play some RE5 online in co-op, which seems to only come together once every three weeks or so these days.</p><br /><p>I guess I should start telling everyone how worthless the PS3 and 360 are, right? The fact that I don't play them as much as I do my Wii obviously means that they're of inferior value to everyone else in the whole world as well, right? Or maybe I'm intelligent enough to understand that my preferences hardly speak to those of the next guy, and try to avoid being presumptuous enough to think that anyone gives a shit about them.</p><br /><p>Look, if you don't like the Wii, then that's great. I couldn't care less about that if I tried. I just dislike it when folks act so presumptuous. Folks like you seem to believe that your preferences have anything at all to say about those of the next guy, as if the fact that you don't like something means that there's no reasonable way anyone else possibly could. Moreover, you tend to foster conditions that support your opinions.</p><br /><p>For example, did you ever consider that being a fan of the hobby like you are, your parents might find value in your suggestions? Ask them what they like and then help them research their options. It would require you to put aside your low opinion of the Wii for a bit, but you might find that there's all sorts of stuff they'd be interested in if you were capable of being objective about it. However I'm sure that possibility didn't even cross your mind, because turning them on to other games would deprive you of the ability you currently have to go online and share worthless anecdotes with the rest of us about how nobody plays the Wii long-term. <br />Well duh. As a gamer, you ought to know first-hand that a single game can only take you so far before you lose interest in it, no matter how good it is, or how much you enjoy the console you're playing it on. Your anecdote about your parents has no more to say about the value of the Wii than mine does about the PS3 and 360.</p><br /><p>To each their own. I just think that people are better off doing the research themselves and making decisions that are informed by their own preferences. If they end up disappointed, at least they bought what they thought they wanted at the time. <br /><br />Just sayin'...:P</p></p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(14894529, 'Cyberxion101')\">Reply</a></div>		 	    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>                <!-- Display comment (reply comment, which may be a parent of more replies) -->            <div class=\"inner-reply-container\" >                 <!-- For each reply comment, recursively display any reply comments -->          	    </div>        	</div>     <!-- For each reply comment, recursively display any reply comments -->          	    </div>        	     <!-- Loop through the reply comments -->                    <div class=\"comment\" id=\"comment-14866167\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">        <a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;amp;blog_id=1&amp;amp;id=838924\"><img        src=\"/mt-static/support/assets_c/userpics/userpic-838924-100x100.png\"        width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>    </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;blog_id=1&amp;id=838924\">_UsUrPeR_</a>        </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2009/08/slimmer-cheaper-ps3-coming-in-september.html#comment-14866167\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2009-08-19T17:55:29-05:00\">August 19, 2009  5:55 PM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(14866167);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=14866167');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p>@<a href=\"#c14862648\" rel=\"nofollow\">Doctor Rockso!</a>: I just did almost the same thing.

Low demand. This was based on extrapolation from a survey they took [ two of the choices for primary reason for buying the console were backwards compatibility and bluray; I chose the bluray :( ]<br />2. Money ( on two sides ). First, they wanted to increase PS2 sales ( for people who hadn't bought them already ) or increase sales of the more expensive PS3 models with BC ( back when they had them ).<br />3. Difficulty in development. The PS1 is easy to program ( with a good emulator, it'll work on any PC ); therefore, they left it in. However, removing the EE chip and replacing it with software-simulation of it dropped compatibility from 99 to 85 percent. Apparently, they haven't figured out how to simulate the GS ( or won't due to cost ).<br />4. Games. PS3 games are 10 to 20 dollars more than their PS2 counterparts ( plus come with the bluray license bonus to SONY ). So, it encourages PS3 owners to purchase the PS3 version.<br />5. Cost. They wanted to appease the people and drop the price ( and with it, BC, SACD support, media card readers, 2 of the 4 USB ports, and now linux support ).</p></p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(14860999, 'Nascar24Dude')\">Reply</a></div>		 	    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>                <!-- Display comment (reply comment, which may be a parent of more replies) -->            <div class=\"inner-reply-container\" >                 <!-- Loop through the reply comments -->        <div class=\"reply-container\" >            <div class=\"comment\" id=\"comment-14864192\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">        <a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;amp;blog_id=1&amp;amp;id=545239\"><img        src=\"/mt-static/support/assets_c/userpics/userpic-545239-100x100.png\"        width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>    </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;blog_id=1&amp;id=545239\">squinko</a>        </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2009/08/slimmer-cheaper-ps3-coming-in-september.html#comment-14864192\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2009-08-19T16:45:41-05:00\">August 19, 2009  4:45 PM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(14864192);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=14864192');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p>@<a href=\"#c14860999\" rel=\"nofollow\">Nascar24Dude</a>: \"4.

I still play the two PS1 Oddworld games frequently. I don't want my TV area cluttered up with three different consoles (or I guess two, since apparently the PS3 still plays PS1 games), when it's possible to play them all on one box.</p><p>I also never owned a PS2 and there are tons of games I would like to play on it, more games than the PS3 has to offer. Now I'm suddenly unable to play those games unless I get a dated console that's basically engineered to be broken already (every single person I know with PS2s can't play certain games or DVDs because their consoles have broken to the point where repair shops just tell them to get a new console because \"Yeah they weren't made to last this long\".)</p><p>Backwards compatibility was a major selling

First they cry about the price, then it's the price, even though it was a bargain in 2006 because it was the cheapest and one of the best BD players around, not to mention oh yeah it plays games the PRIMARY FUNCTION. Now people are complaining about Linux not being able to be installed on the slim. Really? Did you read the article, the 80gb is now $300, and you can still install Linux on it. No PS2 backwards compatibility? Do you have a PS2? Well leave it hooked up, whats the problem? Are you even going to touch a PS2 game after you get PS3 games? Unlikely, I stopped playing PS1 when I got 2, and I haven't touched 2 since I got 3.</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(14864501, 'Erik_says_this')\">Reply</a></div>		<!-- if it's a top level category ' -->		    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>        <!-- Display comment (top level parent) -->    </div>","","","","","<div class=\"comments-content\">        <div class=\"comment\" id=\"comment-14864751\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">        <a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;amp;blog_id=1&amp;amp;id=1261621\"><img        src=\"/css/images/default.gif\"        width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>    </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;blog_id=1&amp;id=1261621\">alkora</a>        </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2009/08/slimmer-cheaper-ps3-coming-in-september.html#comment-14864751\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2009-08-19T17:05:41-05:00\">August 19, 2009  5:05 PM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(14864751);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=14864751');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p>Unfortunately this comment thread has become a XBOX vs. PS3 flame war.</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(14864751, 'alkora')\">Reply</a></div>		<!-- if it's a top level category ' -->		    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>        <!-- Display comment (top level parent) -->    </div>","","","","","","<div class=\"comments-content\">        <div class=\"comment\" id=\"comment-14865391\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">        <a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;amp;blog_id=1&amp;amp;id=1198045\"><img        src=\"/css/images/default.gif\"        width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>    </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;blog_id=1&amp;id=1198045\">waltja26</a>        </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2009/08/slimmer-cheaper-ps3-coming-in-september.html#comment-14865391\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2009-08-19T17:28:46-05:00\">August 19, 2009  5:28 PM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(14865391);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=14865391');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p>This is great!  I got the 60Gb PS3 when it first came out, and I've been loving it since.  Not only does it play games, and serve as one of the best infinitely up datable Blu-ray and DVD players, but it also serves a great home network media server.  With no extra purchases, it can read and play on my living room TV many video files (depending on the codec) from my computer, and with the Media Mall Playon software, I can play my Netflix queue, Hulu queue, ESPN, and more right from the internet, with great great quality!  I find myself using it more as a media hub, than even as a game console.  I'm thinking of getting the slim for the TV in the bedroom.  And then hitting the gym cause I'm getting fat watching TV.</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(14865391, 'waltja26')\">Reply</a></div>		<!-- if it's a top level category ' -->		    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>        <!-- Display comment (top level parent) -->    </div>","","","","<div class=\"comments-content\">        <div class=\"comment\" id=\"comment-14866129\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">        <a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;amp;blog_id=1&amp;amp;id=8966\"><img        src=\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-8966-100x100.png\"        width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>    </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;blog_id=1&amp;id=8966\">quail</a>        </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2009/08/slimmer-cheaper-ps3-coming-in-september.html#comment-14866129\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2009-08-19T17:54:28-05:00\">August 19, 2009  5:54 PM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(14866129);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=14866129');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p>When I originally heard about Linux capabilities of the PS3, I thought it would be wonderful.

As a geek toy it's good, but don't expect it to be replacing your PC/MAC anytime soon.  In the end my PS3 is for games, and my PC is for messing around with Linux.</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(14866129, 'quail')\">Reply</a></div>		<!-- if it's a top level category ' -->		    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>        <!-- Display comment (top level parent) -->    </div>","","<div class=\"comments-content\">        <div class=\"comment\" id=\"comment-14866560\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">        <a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;amp;blog_id=1&amp;amp;id=116400\"><img        src=\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-116400-100x100.png\"        width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>    </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;blog_id=1&amp;id=116400\">howie_in_az</a>        </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2009/08/slimmer-cheaper-ps3-coming-in-september.html#comment-14866560\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2009-08-19T18:09:02-05:00\">August 19, 2009  6:09 PM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(14866560);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=14866560');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p>\"Cheaper\" or \"<b>less expensive</b>\"?
