if i could buy a stripped down version of the console that literally played games (PS1/2 anyone?) i would. online content for me is only good because i can download some new game when i beat the last one i was playing.
playing the game online competitively, or with other people, can be completely erased as an option and i wouldn't even care.
playstation has a lot more RPG style titles and exclusives that i like. they always have, even when competing with nintendo instead of xbox.
