You are really starting to chafe my ass with the million variations of the same friggin console. Why must you complicate things so much? It's getting to the point that we nearly need a Ph.D. in order to decipher what version one has compared to versions two, three, and four. When you need a friggin chart, things are getting out of hand.
Boy oh boy do I miss the days you could walk into a store and come out with a purchase, knowing full well that every console made by that particular company had the same exact set of features. Now you have to either pay through the nose, or downgrade to a crippled version of what's being offered. Are we buying custom computers here? Man, do I ever feel sorry for the millions of clueless parents out there who take on the monumental task of trying to figure this out -- in order to buy something nice for their kids.
They don't stand a chance.
Whoever decided that the multitude of "choices" was great for the consumer needs to get kicked in the nuts repeatedly.This whole subject gives me (and a whole lot of other people) the shits. [/end of rant]
This needs to stop.

And that's just not cool, man.
Wii is simple, but with a PC I can change the specs whenever I want without having to look at eye burning stat sheets you posted up there. Ouch.
jp.. I fully agree my bionic homie.
Note: clamshell console design may equal fail.
And the the HDMI thing or looking the manufacture date because you read on the internet that if the thing was manufactured post xxx-date is not going to have the cooling problems or its going to have the new 65nm chip...
is crazy.
I don't know where I'm going with that analogy, just know that it's really unpleasant and hard. Like a puzzle.
