I would have thought having to pay for online play would have been the number 2 thing to hate about the 360--can't believe it didn't even make the list.

Oh, and trophies have been mandatory since January 1, 2009 for the PS3.

"dang, im a pc snob..."

who says playing on the PC can't be the equivalent of a doctorate in Physics, it sure as hell feels just as accomplishing. And I still love MGS and Halo (1) despite my PC loyalties.

The PC had always been the best gaming platform for the intellectually superior. Muhahahahah!

You all are fags! I agreed with pretty much everything they said and I own everything they criticized. Comparing the PS3 to the GCN was brilliant because it is true! Only thing I didn't like was them bashing the new play control thing. I cant wait to play Prime 1&2 with the Wii remote(and is hoping for a Wind Waker one!) I also think they should repackage RE4 Wii edition as one. Same with Okami.

Wii Online Play:
"Christ, playing Doom on a dialup PC modem was easier than this."

LMAO it's true

PC snobs:
"That said, you’re right: multi-platform releases are still frequently dumbed down for the benefit of console players. That shit needs to stop."

Amen

Zero Quality Control:
I'm sick of people thinking everyone needs to be their mommy and think of things for them. Lets graduate from 3rd grade and become an adult and realize you need to research anything in life before hand to make an intelligent decision, because thats what adults do and thats why they're smarter than children. They don't live on impulse and say, "OH Shiny I want that". Buying a bad game is your own fault, you should do research, play a demo, rent, or wait on reviews before you buy a game. It's not the publishers job to wipe your butt, it's their job to make money.

There was an iphone/ ipod touch in the main pic why wasn't it included here. I think it's the best handheld out there and I wanted to see what you had to say about it

My xbox 360 elite "E74"ed on friday and Microsoft is making me pay 100$ if I want to get it fixed. I really hate that.

@ ohmypizzapie

That's why you do what I did, buy an arcade and get an elite HDD from ebay for 75 bucks. Same thing only it isn't all black and I'm up hundreds of dollars.

Like jcgrech said before me, all games released now have to implement trophies, so that really isn't a problem anymore. Though I totally agree the PS3 should get a price cut like, NOW.

To say that the majority of the PS3's greatest games are published by sony is a negative is weird because the same rings pretty true of both Nintendo(SSBB, Twilight Princess, SM galaxy) and Microsoft(Halo 3, Gears of War 1 & 2, Fable II, Viva Pinata, Banjo Kazooie) as well. Third party exclusives are pretty few and far between for the 360 and PS3 so it's hard to say that sony depends solely on their self-published games if microsoft doesn't.

The jerks on live on psn have an easy fix, don't wear a mic unless you're just with your friends(or join a live party).

It's been a great week of hate, lots of laughs, and always interesting, can't wait until next year.

If only crappy 3rd party games would die out, so the good games actually get bought, which means more revenue for the good developers, which means better games for us..

Win. Especially the comparison of the PS3 to the Gamecube.
Defguru7777  - 8 months 1 day ago 
I hate the Red Ring with a passion. I've got it right now.

PS3s are still too got dang expensive.

Wii is slowly losing itself to casual gamers.

PCs are also too got dang expensive to upgrade.

PSP sucks donkey.

DS: see above for Wii

Week of Hate: Thank you GamesRadar!!!

motorstorm:pr was not disappointing its a brilliant game so shut up i hate you.
recaptcha: society off (it is the week of hate so i suppose society does turn off)

so many good points on all of the systems. the one that pisses me off the most is the wiimote battery life. nintendo could be making so much money off of a rechargeable battery kit, instead we are reduced to buying crappy aftermarket versions. i bought the nyko one pictured; first one was defective out of the box, the second one has been problematic charging and holding a charge ever since i got it. i'm especially pissed off right now because i just bought madworld and i have to wait for those fucking things to charge so i can play it. this wouldn't have happened it it was on the ps3 or 360.

Holy crap! Has the gaming world completely turned into a bunch of raging complaining little girls?

"Wireless is too expensive", "The code is too long to type", "The games are too expensive", "Installation takes too long"

Listen up. When your life has time for this type of whining, you have nothing to complain about! Seriously. Get off your ass, call the local community center and find an old timer or a kid that needs a hand and volunteer for an hour/week. You will build a whole new relationship with your console.

i think x-box is better because unlike a ps3 it dosn't need to download the games to play them
