Buy a PS3 and instead of just sacrificing most consumer freedom, sacrifice it all? Instead of supporting a bad company, support a worse one? Instead of not being able to use the alternatives without significant effort, have no alternatives at all? Instead of having to put some effort in to play 20-year old games, not at all being able to play anything older then 5? Instead of struggling to retain some power over the corporations (and your own computer, for that matter), hand all power over to them? Instead of suffering corporatism, actively encourage it?
Yeah, consoles are a good choice
