Be glad I've edited the following from it's original version:

1. It's my right to stand by my decision, even if I admit that it's stupid.
2. The straps are perfectly fine, if you have the proper self-control all the time. Not everyone does. All it takes is forgetting to put it on once to smash something.
3. For a second, assume that you can only own one gaming console. Further assume that you have limited space in your entertainment center. Every extra function counts. Besides, I don't hear anyone complaining about the DVD capabilities of the PS3 or X-Box 360, do you? No one's saying "I don't want Blu-Ray in my PS3," are they? Even if it's technically "unnecessary," DVD players are available in the competition, so they should've been in Revolution just to keep up.
4. The existence of third-party accessories was never the point. The point is that if Nintendo doesn't care about basic things like charging their ubercontroller, why should I care about how nifty it is? And it is nifty, but not "spend five bucks on batteries a day" nifty.
5. Again, it wasn't only the TV size, it was the size of my available floorspace. Revolutions require MOVEMENT, right? The ability to make a full sword-swinging motion without knocking over a lamp or something?
6. Don't I have the right to have a preference or be comitted to a seemingly pointless opinion?
7. Apparently someone's Babel Fish is on the fritz. I said that VC is "too big of a temptation." That's it, no more.
