That sounds stupid, a new console should be all perfect and in no need for fixing. None of my consoles have ever had any problems like that (NES, SNES, N64, GC, PS2).
The funny thing is that all those consoles you mentioned, only 1 is not an Nintendo product. Nintendo has always been good in making quality systems that dont have problems.

Well its new technology, im not saying every console will be defective, what i am saying is that not everyone will ( by this i mean proly 2 in 10 people) have a perfect system that doesnt cause any trouble in performance. I remember when iPOD came out, some peoples batteries didnt work or worked for a short time.

Blu Ray discs are pretty much useless.
Think right now, most computer games like Half Life 2, FEAR and Doom 3 have 1 regular dvd. All three games have alot of content on those discs.
If they used bluray discs, which require a seperate disc drive, what are they going to put on those discs. It will be all filler on those discs that most people wont even use.
Stay with dvd's because its the medium right now. Blue ray will be available for PS3, thats it. Can you see blu ray outdoing dvd considering dvd is such a popular storage medium?
Sure its nice to have more storage, but whats the point of changing the whole industry standard for space that wont be filled up. Also, can you see a developer spending more money, and time, and lost revenue just to put on some special feature for games? I cant.
This is like when people were introduced to a VCR and a VCR TAPE, then when people started seeing CD/DVDs they jumped on. Ya i can see that for a game it would be pointless because 40Gb would take a gamer a long to beat the game.
If the next-gen consoles are said to improve graphics as much as they are, blu-ray's gonna be necessary. If some PS2 games take dual-layer DVDs, the next gen surely will be larger by the HD nature of the graphics and movies. Length doesn't matter, quality and quantity of graphics and cinematics will lead to the inevitable evolution in game media. The 360 is going to be quite a bit behind when the PS3 comes out and more graphically demanding games come out -- talks are already around for HD-DVD or Blu-ray upgrade drives for the 360. HD content takes up so much more room; I feel Microsoft is really running themselves into a wall, especially with their rushing the 360 out before the rest of their competition.

As of right now, Blu Ray discs would be a waste of time, however when PS3 comes out we will have to see why they chose Blu Ray discs and how their games compare to the standard DVD 9 for games

Definitly.
What would be great, if they got the 360 while people were still outside waiting to get one.
THat would be awesome.
The other great thing is that they didnt actually buy the console, so no harm done.
