Remember when Sony blackmailed retailers to display all PS2 products at the front of the store and relegate all competitors to some corner, or else they would not receive any PS2\'s?

Stop bashing MS while turning a deaf ear to Sony\'s tactics.

How about,
MS gives more systems to retailers that bundle systems with games and accessories

In mid-March, the world\'s biggest IT show takes place in Hannover, Germany, and every year the biggest companies are present on the show floor. This year Sony Germany booked a booth that had a section devoted to the PlayStation 2, with 27 units demonstrating games. Microsoft got in touch with the organizers of CeBIT and complained about the PS2 units at the booth. "We have asked the CeBIT organizers why we aren\'t allowed to present Xbox while at the same time Sony has 27 demo racks of the PlayStation 2 at its booth," Microsoft Germany\'s PR manager Boris Schneider-Johne told industry publication MCV."In the beginning Sony announced it would only be a technology demo. But we think it\'s not quite fair anymore if they have a presentation of this size though."
At the CeBIT show there are some pretty strict rules on what companies can exhibit. For example, video games consoles still aren\'t allowed, and game publishers and distributors aren\'t welcome. Of course, this might be changing over the next few years, but that remains to be seen. As a result of Microsoft\'s complaint, and the resulting warning from the show organizers, Sony removed all of its PS2 units from the show floor.

I think SonyFan stole it from you and is using it on another website. Sue him for plagiarism.

July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.
