Nonetheless, this article kicked ass, but also has frightened me because I thought my third Xbox would last longer than the first 2. PS3 blows, and our "Microphobic" friend knows it.

Then, yesterday, my Xbox of only a year and half got it...about five minutes into COD:MW2..and now I come across this. Although I'm still under warranty, I've been pretty tempted to just buy a new Arcade and just sell my old one once it's been fixed..I've been looking forward to MW2 for farrr too long to have to wait another month.

I love my xbox and I've tried to like PS3 but there's just something a bit... off about it. There's something about the too clean asian graphics that just don't strike me as visually entertaining. Mind you, with the games they've come out with recently (uncharted 2, demons souls, GOW 3) I am sonsidering buying one... Plus a blu ray player would be nice... This was brilliant.

While you're going with the metaphor thing, you should mention that a great part of this abusive relationship is due to her hooking you on drugs-that-are-gamer-points. I have a Wii, and I like it fine for some games, but I am always thinking, how much time I "wasted" playing Mario Galaxy when I didn't even get gamer points! It was a fantastic game, but....NO......POINTS. And I'm not even truly a gamer-point junkie. There is just something strangely satisfying -- calming, almost -- about that little bloop you hear when you make an achievement that keeps you hooked.

Ain't no fling, though. Metaphorically speaking, it's been like watching my wife slip in and out of a coma... I'll always wait for her to wake up. I’m on xbox #4.

That being said I have had 3 RRoD and will have no problem sending in one of my consoles to be fixed. The games and live are just that good.
