My Sony Mp3 player has served me faithfully for 3 years now. In my opinion, it's time to change a new one. (If I tell my mum, she will surely say no.)

PS: I think I'm down with sore throat again.

However, while there are pros to this situation in that more people will be able to play these games, is there a downside to all of this? I certainly think so, and it lies with one simple notion: That by continuing to persuade these third party companies to make the franchises that made the Playstation 2 the clear winner multiplatform and giving MS exclusive perks, Microsoft is instead hurting their own credibility and admitting that without these franchises, they can't compete as well as they would if they didn't have them.

Now, before you flame me for being a PS3 fanboy (I'm not) and dismiss this as "flame bait", hear...
