umm, you can sign a two year you know and the price is only $50 extra for the phone. It's because people up here have been overly conditioned to sign that three year and don't know any better. But don't mistake yourself, the option is there and is very fair, $50 isn't that much more.

"How is it crap?"

Let's go down the list shall we, and no I don't even own an Xbox360.

- Over priced, I got my Wii back in January 07 for $200 and I still had to wait 2 hrs in line at 8pm on a saturday because 3 months after launch date it was still extremely popular. PS3s were very much in stock on shelfs that day if I remember right, not one left the store. Hmm...
- As far as a console, the consumer has choses the Xbox and Wii as the next gen front runners. More GAMES will be developed for those consoles, wiki "supply vs. demand" and that should explain both this point and the previous.
- Sony marketed the PS3 originally as a game console that played Bluray titles, now its a Bluray player that just so happens to play games as well (come on!).

And just so you know, the PS3 will go down as the biggest disaster of Sony Computer Entertainment's history, Bluray saved it's butt a little though.

If you want me to continue, just let me know.
