I had a couple problems with the NY Times review. First he states 12 minutes after opening the box for the 360 he was up and running and playing quake online. Great. Then he states with the PS3 after 12 minutes... he realized the cables would not do HD? Come on! If you're going to compare something... COMPARE IT! How long did it take to get up and running to go online with the PS3? Was it difficult? You plug it in, press the button to Signup for the Network, enter the info and then boot a game.
His comment about playing his custom soundtrack in game... is that not a game design choice? Not necessarily a system hardware issue?
*shrug* I have issues when regular press people try to review or talk about games as they generally have a lot of assumptions (look at the hot coffee or bully issues and any other stupid'ish knock on games). All i know is that I'm digging the PS3 more at the moment than I am my 360.
