Well, people have differing opinions on what is better. There are ways to measure success, such as how many units both have sold, but it may be too early to compare that.

I have more interest in Kinect, if only because voice recognition is cool.

I still lol when i see the failure rates for launch models 1st Quarter

360 - 24.7%
PS3 - 6.7%

then 18 months on

360 5%
PS3 3.7%

Sony may not have offered extended warranties as there wasn't enough faults to demand it, MS has no choice or they'd get butt raped in court over it

Sony did offer a extended warranty for about £4.99 a month i inquired & was told it was £3.99 if you registered your PSP or PS2 with them and then they'd only be £1.99 a month each to add

The service.. well it was usually send in console then get a new one for free) but it was axed due to people abusing it with buying a faulty 60gb, get the plan for 3 months, call in then get sent a new 60gb & cancel or by sticking a faulty HDD in & then sending in, its a small replacement but they do mount up. Although when i brought my 320gb slim it did have the slip of paper advertising it

Just checked & nope, still not offered =/

Today marks the first day of Thanksgiving break. I was watching Back to the Future on ABC Family (because that's all they show now, I guess) and a commercial came up for Sonic Drive-In (The fast food chain. What a stupid game that would be.), and exactly right after that was a Sonic Free Riders commercial.

I don't know which one is worse.

Well I dunno about adverts but one slowly kills you and the other serves you food.

@Reknoc I was talking about the actual product/restaurant. Sonic Free Riders commercial is worse hands down.

@BSF Thanksgiving is in about a week (Nov. 25).

Today, besides watching TV and crap, I did something productive: fill out college admissions! Eight of 'em, and they aren't cheap (about $65 each). I haven't submitted them yet, but they are filled out and ready to be payed for. In other news, my laptop battery is dead (AC power still works, though), thus proving how much more crappy this laptop is (and how much more crappy I treat it).

Getting ready for Thanksgiving.

Anyway today i went to a friends house and watched the Walking Dead Series.
Later i went to a little County fair that came in town called Santa's Enchanted Forest with a friend (What you do for a girl...). It was horrible, it was a total redneck fair. Nasty food, sickening rides, weird freak shows,and lots of rednecks running everything. They did not fit in the city at all since more than half of everyone here (including myself) is cuban xD There wasn;t anything related to christmas either they just had christmas lights at the entrance and some guy dressed as Santa. Never going back.

Rednecks make me cringe.

Went to a thrift store (these also make me cringe) and found a Playstation for $6. Bought it. Now I'm eating a loaf of French bread and drinking Jamba Juice while on the computer.
