I've never had this problem. All PS3 games have either run in 1080p, 720p or 720 upscaled to 1080p for me on my HDTV using HDMI.

Then you got the X-Box 360 without a wireless adapter. A console known for it's own play in the previous generation doesn't come with a wireless adapter.
Yeah, not including WiFi on the 360 was a bad move considering the fact that both Wii and PS3 are both wireless. Lucky for me, there's a ethernet port in the wall right outside my door and I have the 360 plugged in there... the port in my room is being used by my PC and is too far eway anyway.

My only problem with the Wii is the controller, but this problem belongs to 360 controller. I can easily buy recharge batteries, but why don't this come with the system itself. Both companies ended up releasing a "recharging" item that can be bought separately.
Actually, Nintendo hasn't released any official recharge pack for the Wiimote, they're all third party ones. But yeah, if you're an avid Wii gamer, you can go through quite a few packs of batteries which can be really bad.

Oh, I forgot to mention paying for certain download content. Yeah, I like putting money into a dungeon that could have been on the game before it's release, but let's wait, release a download patch and charge you for it. B.S., but that's all companies. Still, finding methods to take money from their customers. They wonder why people don't feel bad about stealing from them?
I hate paying for DLC too. Thankfully there are SOME games which offer them for free, and other games where the DLC is so good and indepth that it's worth the extra few bucks.

But the truth is people spend money to get such things thats all they care about you will continue to pay for the content as long as people buy it.

Well I found Microsoft is still ripping people off, In the UK most retailers have dropped the prices in reflect of the new VAT rate. However Microsoft is charging £39.99 still for 12 months gold membership. It better to go to one of the retailers and buy it from them for it a little bit cheaper. Heck I got it cheaper with my staff discount from Argos

I had no problem with HDMI cable.

I just find odd I have to buy a cable I felt should have came with the system when I purchase the system.

It's not the money that bothers me too much since isn't that much, but it does add up if you keep spending on DLC.

I'm not lucky myself. I would have to move my X-Box 360 to my 36 inch HDTV in my room, instead of the 42 inch in my living room , then buy a long cable that connected to my modem and a have a long cable in hallway to my room just to connect to internet with the 360.

Random: Go to the dashboard and go to My Xbox and then your profile box and then use the right analog stick and make your avatar shake its head side to side repeatedly and he/she will make an angry face while doing it................................. no, really.

Arrr..... I was in Zavvi (UK Store Sells Games, DVD, Music & Books) who have gone in Administation because of their supply was run by Woolworths. Anyway today they had 20% of Games and I briought one, anyway I got into a queue to pay and this guy two places in front holds up the Queue because he wanted to by some Microsoft Xbox points. However he hasn't read the small print that say Hardware or vouchers arn't included in the Sale. Friging holding up... just because he can't read the signs

WTF... I just looked on Wiki it says that Oz pay less for the Points then they do in America or the UK. Damn you Lynk for living in a counrty with a better exchange rate *Shakes Fist*
