• A Letter to My Playstation 3

  Dear Playstation 3,

  I regret that I have to say this in writing, but I can no longer love you as I have in the past. I have found another. We had lots of great times together, but it's time for us to move on.

  The console I'm with now is the Xbox 360. I'll admit that she is somewhat high-maintenance. She asks for money if I want to play multiplayer, and most of her menu content is catered to squeeze money from gamers, but despite this she treats me better than you. Her interface is much smoother and the menus are more responsive and open quickly. She also doesn't require me to sit and wait for ten minutes after purchasing a new game while it installs to the hard drive.

  Let me just get it out in the open. The two of you have pretty much the same games. When a third-party developer releases a game, it's usually for both of you. That's not to say you don't have a solid selection of console specific games. I will always be there to help raise our LittleBigPlanets. But from now on, you will be nothing more than a mistress.

  I am sorry. Farewell my love,

  Jimbo
