Developers eventually move on to the newer systems and stop making games for the old ones. I would bet they probably have to per a deal with the console makers.

Most definitely. I think 360 and PS3 have had the longest life span of any console.

There was a point were it was all about the graphics but now a days the graphics are good enough people are really focused on the game play. Add in the ability to update the consoles with the internet and you see why the 360 and PS3 have lasted so long.

there is though no feeling like getting the newest console out there. Have not felt that in a long time.

Well Comcast called and said it was a "coding error" and they fixed it from their offices, so the guy isn't coming out tomorrow.

A coding error? This was an OLD error too, On Demand service hasn't worked for at least 4 months now. Just been too busy to take care of it. How the hell does a coding error happen?

I'm glad it's fixed, but geez. And I was in touch with customer service and they troubleshooted this TWICE. It wasn't until the 3rd time I talked to them they said they had to send someone out. So you're saying the two times I talked to customer service previously, they didn't check to make sure the codes were legit?

My favorite with them was when CS would say well On Demand is a free service so we don't need to rush to fis it. I would say really so if I cancel Comcast I will still receive On Demand right? The answer was always crickets.

I use to spend a good 4 hours a month on the phone with them; don't miss those days!

Regarding graphics, there still needs to be a marked improvement. There are plenty of graphics whores out there that would be very disappointed if the next system failed to impress in that area.

It actual sounds like a PS3 that he is dreaming of.
