41. My take
Been a PC gamer for nearly 20 years (I go back to some of the wonderfully elegant Dos games of the 80's and 90's) I never understood the attraction of game consoles. My beautiful Daughter had Nintendo 64, PS1 and PS2 (I think she still has it but it is in a closet) and another system so she could (at the time) play Crazy Taxi. Correct me if I' wrong, but console games are expensive (the razor/blade analogy) have poor replay value, and don't have the capabilities of on-line gaming like World of Warcraft, Guild Wars, Everquest II, Warhammer 40,000, etc. Even the Sims 2 games for consoles are very weak compared to the PC versions (which by the way have sold over 20,000,00 combined). Regarding Blu-Ray, I just don't think the difference in quality (I am blind in one eye) justifies the investment. I really can't "see" a difference.

I guess it doesn't matter to me.
