Duh, they want you to buy crap. That's why it goes there first instead of being at the 'my xbox' line.ujnhunter wrote:Xbox 360: I really wish I could get rid of half the crap they have on the Dashboard... I don't understand why I have to scroll up to get to my important information (my games) and then another 4 times up to get to my friends... all the other crap should be on one "line" not 13 different lines of Ads!

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.Hobie-wan wrote:Duh, they want you to buy crap.

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?)

DS lite/DSi- shoulder buttons break
N64- analog sticks
Gamecube- most 1st party titles are pricey

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

My JDM PS3 can't run Netflix. Booooo, hisssss. So I just use my Wii or the USDM PS3 downstairs.

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