I personally own damn near all the consoles made in the last 10 years & a computer that gets boost everytime blizzard or ID release a game as well as spend a good 4 to 6 hours a day gaming (gotta relax after sys admin'n all day)
Console Pros: Fighting games like doa3,smash bros, and tekken just dont work on the PC (I tried MK4 for about 5 minutes before realizing that I couldnt do a roll move on my keyboard), as it has already been posted they are much easier than having to worry about installation and driver issues, 4 players on one tv is alot better than one player on a 17" monitor, more games released, contantly evolving control, mod chips and new hacks are great (specially some of the ones I have seen for the xbox) and less cheating in multiplayer games (although mainly cuz you actually know the people playing next to you) systems
Console cons: internet play is just starting and you have to pay for it, RTS games are generally pretty bad on them, mods are not even close to as common, FPS's are horible with an analog stick (I wont even play halo because the controls annoy me too much), its starting to change but it seems like console games cant get away with as much violence and adult content, and console games seem to be a lot of the action and not as much depth as the PC games

"One real-world example of piracy's devastating impact on the legitimate marketplace is with the 1999 release of the film Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace. Pirate copies of the film (created by using camcorders in US theaters) flooded the Asian marketplace while the film was still in U.S. theatrical distribution. When the film opened legitimately in Asian theaters, attendance was far below expectations. "
I got quit school the beginning of my junior year and managed to get lucky enough to get in the door of a web development firm (through who I know), I started as a web developer although I had orginally wanted to be come in as a sys admin or assistant. After showing a knack for security and working closely with the current sys admin he got a job offer for doing graffix at another company and I took on the his role. There are times that I wish I would have gone to college for areas I am lacking in such as english (as im sure you have noticed) and the life experience, but all and all I am happy with where I am at: 19 and sys admin for 2 years without college, by the time most people would have just got out of college I will have at 5 years experience. Hope this helps:)

But even if it were completely unmitigated good for Blizzard, the bnetd folks have no right to force it upon Blizzard, anymore than doctors or health insurance companies can force people to eat low-fat diets.
Or the law to force us to have car insurance:)
