Why to Hate Xbox 360
PROs/CONs Wiki List

Tags: xbox 360, Microsoft, video games, hate, entertainment, features, negative

The Xbox 360 is a video game console produced by Microsoft. The Xbox 360 is the successor to the Xbox, and it competes with Sony's PlayStation 3 and Nintendo's Wii as part of the seventh generation of gaming systems.

Accessories cost a small fortune: if you opt for a second wireless controller and a rechargeable battery kit, you'll be out $70. $19.95 for a faceplate.

The hard drive isn't big enough: Microsoft went with a laptop drive instead of a standard desktop hard drive to keep the Xbox 360 trim giving us 20GB.

Limited keyboard/mouse support at launch: with the USB ports, it seems logical that the Xbox 360 would accept PC accessories such as a mouse and a keyboard.

No built-in Wi-Fi

Not enough USB ports, especially on the back: there's only one USB port on the back and that's going to be tied up with the USB Wi-Fi accessory. That leaves two USB ports on the front available to plug in such accessories as the video camera. Toss in another wired controller, and your 360 is full up.

No HDMI or DVI connectivity: Microsoft didn't include a next-generation DVD player (HD-DVD or Blu-ray), but it also didn't throw in an upconverting DVD player that did faux HD via an HDMI or a DVI connection.

No built-in card reader: Instead of just being able to save games or serve up content from a standard flash-memory card, you've got to buy a proprietary 64MB memory card for $40.
