Why to Hate Xbox 360
PROs/CONs 
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. |
