BS...

Totally dont belive that, plus what do you define as hardcore? A gamer that plays 24/7 and has no life? A gamer that is pro? Just stupid imo.

I would have thought the more 'pro' gamers, as in tournament gamers would have bought a 360 for quake, halo, unreal and such.

It's because they never have to get up. Even console gamers have to get up to buy new games PC gamers say "but why buy when you can download for free".

I would of thought the Xbox 360 was for hardcore gamers and the Ps3 is for technology lovers and the Wii is for people who want to have fun.

Hardcore gamers play PC games. A lot of XBOX360/PS3 games come out on PC aswell (with even better graphics & controls imo), so why would they bother buying one of those consoles? I know with me & my mates from school who were very much into PC games, the best escape from the usual Counter-Strike or Age of Empires match was a good 'ol Mario Kart 64 race. Maybe it's going to be the same for the Wii?

Well said, I think if you are a hardcore PC Gamer, the only kind of console you want is the least like your pc... something to make the investment worthwhile. Who wants to play a game on the console when it looks much better on the pc?

Well right now i'm really sick of my 360, i sent it away over a week ago to the mainland to be repaired as it would go through the 360 boot up then there'd be a black screen saying sytem error! Got it back last night booted it up and it still doesn't work! So now i have to send it away again and try and get it fixed properly! I would sell it if i didn't want to play gears of war or halo 3 !!!

I have been so lucky with my 360, it has always worked fine. But because of everyone having so many problems, everytime i turn it on i hold me breath, as the 360 takes off. Anyone who has heard a 360 start up will know what i mean by take off.

Was he standing it up, or laying it down??? Cause i know i scratches them wen ya stand them up, cause it bounces around. Whereas wen ya lay it down it sits in the tray fine.

Yep standing up. I know that was the reason, but considering all MS adverts and demos have the thing standing up, it probably should operate properly as such.

Thank god the Wii uses the loading mechanism it does, rather than a tray.

I've had no problems with my 360, and it stands up, its flaw less.

I certainly hope the wii cant do this, or else im gona get shot down hard here..

But.. I can turn on and off my 360 without moving from the couch! booya! Now thats hardcore gaming
