) . Have played on all theo ther consoles leading up to the 360 but never bothered buying one until now.
8. Would you say you are loyal to any particular brand of video games console?
No
Brand loyalty is utterly stupid. I would allign myself with the best product - whoever makes it. Loyalty to profit making entities is only fruitful for the entities themselves! Why buy a bad product just because you like the brand? If people stopped buying the rubbish that some companies put out, they'd quickly stop making rubbish.
