I sometimes have it wired when I'm streaming 1080p content. Wired or wireless, the PSN download speeds are slow and unreliable. For me. Granted, it would be great if XBL was free, but it isn't. £35 per year doesn't make or break a console buying decision IMO.
I am surprised that some people are of the opinion that RROD is a non-issue. There's no excusing the fact that it's poor engineering. They fix it. Great but, let's not pretend it isn't a pain in the ass having to have it fixed or replaced.
Personally, I'd be more gutted if my PS3 broke, because I use it far more than the xbox.
Back on topic (sort of). At the end of the day people use these consoles for differnet reasons. In the classic context of a
