Wrestling boards have been that way for years, computer boards are horrible (check out any Linux vs Windows thread) heck even general current event boards are pretty bad. It is cool to be different and complain, being negative is hip. Nothing new here, it's always been cool to be against the status quo. The internet is just such a wonderful tool for communication that it's easier for everybody to get their 2 cents in. As far as quality issues go that isn't just a gaming issue, every industry has quality control problems, some cars are just lemons, some appliances break as soon as you get them and sometimes you open a box and get the wrong thing. I don't think it's time to report the gaming industry to consumer reports but I do believe people should push to have defective items replaced. As far as Errata goes, well they don't have to do that, it is a service they are providing in order to keep people happy with their products, I am thrilled they care enough to go back and fix stuff. Gaming is a luxury item, people buy these products because they want to have them, like any purchase a little research before purchase never hurts, If you hear alot of negative feedback about a company or a product then it is probably better to get a first hand look at it before you buy or to just not buy it. There is a difference between critisizing a product that wasn't what it was supposed to be and just griping about it because you didn't like it.I really enjoy the post here because most people try to argue a topic rather than just gripe and moan. It reminds me more of the High School debate team than just a bunch of people spouting off crap. Heated discussions on topics are wonderful, and when threads devolve into finger pointing and personal attacks they are normally shut down pretty quick.</blockquote>
