Duh, they want you to buy crap. That's why it goes there first instead of being at the 'my xbox' line.

I miss the old Dashboard. Very well designed with space for non-intrusive advertisement and all your game info and everything you needed to know. Since the NXE, I've very much prefered the XMB on the PS3.
Older. Not wiser.

Xbox360 issues:

why, oh why do I have to pay money to play on-line??

having recently sold off my Xbox360 "standard" (premium, whatever) with hard-drive, I am now left with my "arcade" version of the same, without hard-drive, hence I cannot play Xbox1 games??? wtf?

N-Gage:

battery life sucks....

PSX/PS2:

when all my other consoles support 60hz. (i.e DreamCast, GameCube, Xbox1, etc.) neither my PS2, nor my PSX will support it on my TV

it's weird and it's funky and I don't like it.

:edit

(I've tried 4 different cables, to no avail)

NDS-Lite:

'em touch-screens sure are sensitive to touching and mine doesn't function 100% as I want it to...

*generic random rant*

how about making cords that won't force me to sit 1 meter in front of my TV?
(I know there's extension-cords, but come on... do I really have to pay extra dough in order to be able to sit at a more pleasing distance?)

What a necro bump! I also dislike SNES's discoloration and dying batteries, but really what I dislike most is this:

I just hate how loud the Dreamcast is. I feel it's going to break any second.
