Yeah the online play portion of xbox requiring a sub is annoying, but to be honest I don't EVER do online gaming on my 360. I can still pay for downloads and get free downloads and send messages to friends without it. And, well, to be honest you are giving money to M$ even if you buy a PS3 or a Wii. Do you really think they do all their development in Linux/Unix/Mac environments? :-p
And I'll buy a blu-ray player after I have a TV that it would be worth it to use it on. That's not going to be for a few more years now. Heh. My first DVD player was my original PS2...
Besides, for me "Need" is about what games are out for a system. Xbox360 has games that I want. Some exclusively. Others are cross-platform. I "Need" a wii cuz I can't get Mario Party or Smash Bros without it. I "Need"ed a PS3 for Final Fantasy XIII and Gran Turismo. Everything else really was cross platform.
