I have owned a 3D TV for about 6 months now and still do not own the glasses. They are ~$150 each and there is such limited content I do not see a reason to drop that kind of cash. I am happy to own a 3D TV if the technology does take off for home entertainment. Worst case is that I have a really good 2D TV with 3D capability that never gets utilized.
Windows Mobile killed itself. They had a horrible lack of innovation with their newest versions and poor/tardy implementation of an "App Store." Add to that HTC's focus on Android and it hurts because IMO HTC was by far the biggest innovator on WiMo.
I would hope they don't switch to tiered pricing. I listen to broadband radio for about 4 hours every day and usually have over 2 gigs in usage every month. If they switched it I don't know what I would do.
As someone who worked for a game retailer since the launch of the PS2 the system was hardly reliable when it launched, some only had a lifespan of 6 months. In fact I would say that the 360 fails about half as much as the early ps2's did. That said it's still a very horrible rate of failure. The expected rate in the industry it 1%. 360's are closer to 10%. MS has been very proactive about extending their warranty to 3 years. With the PS2 if it was beyond the 3 month warranty you were out of luck. I haven't seen many PS3's fail, which is great considering Sony's iron fist stance with warranties.
To the poster that compared the PS3 online service to XBL. You get what you pay for. Maybe when Home releases it will be worth comparing but for now XBL is a far better online service. $50 per year is hardly expensive when you think about the $15/month that millions of gamers pay for MMO's.
The 360 has so far followed the success of the PS2 as far as coming out early, having the better releases and a good install rate, even with the reliability issues. It remains to be seen if it could have the life of the PS2 considering how much more competitive the market is now compared to when the PS2 launched. The PS3 has some big launches in the future as well with Gran Turismo 5 and FF13/MGS4 if they stay exclusive. I would imagine at least one of them will be, probably FF13. With that said I still don't get the feeling from my customers that the PS3 holds up when it comes to online play, which has become a big part of console gaming with games like Halo, Gears of War, and sports games.

I am sure the fact that every carrier other than AT&T has multiple Android phones available has nothing to do with the increase.

I definitely agree, there are some great games on XBLA. Wii Virtual Console as well. XBLA is nice because it has more of a broad variety of games.

Ghosts are just proof that women are more gullible than men.
i pitty the day the computer industry gives up on quality processors and goes with cheaper less reliable chips and chipsets like AMD makes.
