What is a game console's main function? To play games, duh. However, a console that ONLY plays games is considered inferior. This is exactly why the Gamecube was doomed from the start, and it's why the Revolution looks like it won't have a terrific lead in the next big race. I just want all you to think about that next time you post a rant about why you're not so into computer-like features on your game systems.
Yes, internet costs money, there's no getting around that. Some companies charge money for playing online, some don't. It's really no different from internet access from a PC. Anyone who says otherwise is obviously using their parents's computer.
Quoted for truth. It disgusts me how people say PSP is better but only because of its mods and not what the PSP should really do(plaly games, and to those that actually play it for the games than the mods, this doesnt include you).

And if paying for a game like that is bad, then you upkeep the servers.
