Those are some of the worst reasons I've ever heard... Some of them aren't even accurate!

link doesn't work... correct link here (http://www.gameplayer.com.au/Home/FEATURES/FEATURE/tabid/1488/Default.aspx?CID=f4d9b4e5-ecf3-48cf-bf20-a8eadba014f7).
It does have some good points, the 360 isn't that reliable, but even though it isn't, microsoft have seen the problem and have came up with a solution without ripping off their customers like sony did (anyone remember the Disc Read Error? SONY wanted ?60/repair everytime that happened... which was about once a year.. i fixed it myself for 50p)
To say that the 10x compressed games on DVD isn't enough i think is a bit stupid, and disc swapping, is it really a big problem? i'd prefer to swap discs once or twice than wait twice the length loading it up as do i really want to load the first part of my game onto my harddrive? not really. Hard-drive sizes are improving and prices dropping but the ps3's hdd i believe is harder to get to and you lose the warranty if you open it...ooo ouch.

Yeah but you can also plug in ANY External hard drive into the PS3 and it will run. thats what they mean, they arent talking about swapping the internal hard drive.

haha also they sound rather biased when speaking on the PS3

reason 2: The Xbox 360 has a three-year warranty.

lol wtf. what does that have to do with predicting the next launch of the console

reason 8: The Xbox 360 is ugly and loud.

haha!!!

reason 9: The Xbox 360 is failing in Japan.

now thats a valid reason to make another console, competition and turn the japanese around
