• Hey, good. Now I will have time to play all the games I have accrued and never finished. The last two years have been brutal for anyone trying to keep up with the latest/greatest. In reply to: "2009 will be a dull year for gaming"

• Let me offer my suggestion that Comcast is throttling back on heavy users, and streaming video day in and day out certainly qualifies as heavy use. In reply to: "Some Xbox owners see poor-quality Netflix streams"

• I disagree. Would Shoddy Oaks Retirement Home had bought a PS3 or a 360 if there were no Wii? In reply to: "Why won't Sony or Microsoft admit Nintendo is a competitor?"

• Honestly, I will bash Wii up and down the street because it totally deserves it for lowballing, or as snikyljt says being merely "the icing on the cake". But that's their niche. If they are making $6 on selling the hardware, I hope it's worth it to them, because the attach rates are just going to drop off the longer these crap third-party games keep rolling out. It's honestly embarrassing to own one now. I have a disk slot that has been flashing for weeks now because I could care less about installing a new update.
  
  I gauge the console wars by the most popular list on Gamefly... and it is always flush with 360 games and the occasional dissenter. In reply to: "Why won't Sony or Microsoft admit Nintendo is a competitor?"

• I'm really getting sick of the comparison between Mii and Avatars. If you really want to make a point, why not call out Nintendo for copying every single forum that has avatars.
  
  I find the Xbox Avatars much more appealing. Mii's were just a face on a playmobile body. I actually go to my avatar every once in a while to change its clothes and facial expression. It's a far better implementation, and that success has nothing to do with Nintendo. If Nintendo was smarter about their version, there wouldn't be so much room to improve so easily. It's what Microsoft does, and they do it pretty well.
  
  If you want to make a point, make it, but don't dance around the issue, drumming up the xbox fanboys with "I'm not saying anything, but isn't it funny..." In reply to: "Why won't Sony or Microsoft admit Nintendo is a competitor?"

• Honestly, between Netflix Instant watch, Xbox Live, and PSN, I'm happy and my wife is happy with the selection. And on top of that, I really don't care for HD unless they can squeeze it down my relatively narrow pipe. With SD content on Xbox Live, I start the download, and a few seconds later, it's ready to play to the end with no additional buffering. Netflix on PC and Xbox is the same.
  
  When it comes to video content, i'm happy enough with SD. I leave the HD emphasis for my games. In reply to: "Vudu's 1,100-plus HD movie library bests Apple TV, Netflix, and Xbox Live--for now"
