I bought the Playstation in 1997 and its successor console in 2001. I loved both of them and their respective libraries. When the Playstation 3 was announced I was excited and had planned on purchasing it, until I saw the cost and the tiny library that was available at time the time of launch and for almost a full year or more later… So, I picked up an Xbox 360. Not only was it cheaper than the PS3 but the library for the console had everything I wanted, except MGS4 and after seeing that game I decided I didn’t really want it anyway…
Overall, I’ve been very happy with my purchase. The 360 has been workhorse of my entertainment system, delivering not only the vidja games but movies as well! There have been a few hic-ups, like two red-rings of death, both of which were covered by the warranty. Now though the disc reader has stopped working and the warranty has expired. So now I’ve got this very expensive, technologically advanced brick in my entertainment system just sitting there mocking me. I can still use it for Netflix or XBLA games but I’ve got at least five 360 games that I’ve yet to play yet and are sitting on the shelf mocking me.
So, that’s my discontent. It will only last for about a month until I pick up a new one and transfer everything over from the old one, which will of course be my new discontent.
