I don't mind my Xbox. You do pay for Xbox Live but it's about $4.50 a month if you buy 12month subscriptions. The RROD has been a non-issue since they discovered what caused it and I've had my Xbox for 3 years with no issues. I guess PS3 has blu-ray but I have a blu-ray player so that doesn't matter to me. By now it's a matter of what you get a better price on rather than games and content.
