I have no specific issue with the 360, I simply consider it superfluous. For platformers and quirky games I have a Wii and DS (well actually two of them now that I have a dsi but whatever), and for everything else (including what are so arrogantly referred to as "hardcore" games - is there something more "hardcore" about, say, Half-Life than there is about, say, Yoshi's Island? Like seriously, guys, a game is a game, it's for fun) I'd have much more fun playing on a PC than on a console.
EDIT: Actually I do have a problem with the 360, I almost forgot about it.
Subscription-based internet services. We're already paying for our internet AND in some cases for online games via the internet, why levy an ADDITIONAL charge for services we can get for free on a PC?

I don't know what it's like in context but Peep Show had, from what I can tell, a similar thing in series five and it was genius.
I don't remember what you're talking about in Peep Show, but in The Office US, there's a running gag about how much Michael hates Toby, the P.R. guy in the office. So Toby's gone for a really long time, like almost a full season, and when he comes back Michael doesn't believe anyone when they tell him. So he goes to his cubicle and doesn't see him there, so he thinks they were just playing a trick on him, and then Toby pops out. Steve Carrell's reaction there is some of his best stuff, which is basically just him screaming "NO" a lot. Steve Carrell's like the only reason I watch The Office anymore. He's REALLY underrated nowadays. I know he had his fame before, but he's still hilarious in The Office. Here's the clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHh0rf0ojEc
