XBOX launch party tommorrow - I need help.
« on: March 05, 2002, 05:34:08 AM »
I have an XBOX launch party as part of my work tommorrow, and I am dreading it.

Microsoft execs telling a room full of 30 people why the XBOX is better then the PS2 or Gamecube, and how Microsoft are so much better then them.

Now, don\'t get me wrong, I don\'t have a problem with being able to testdrive all 22 launch titles, I mean, hey, I get paid to go, so thats all I care about, but what am I supposed to say when the ask me what console I own?

"So, you gonna buy an XBOX"

Probably not

"Why not"?

Cause I already have a PS2 and 2 DVD players, I think anything else is glutiny.

"But this is so much better then a PS2"

Really???

See, this is my problem...

Just be honest and tell them that your all for the PS2 but you\'ll keep your eyes open for any good titles that may soon come out for the X-Box.:p

Then spit on their shoes!:evil:

ask them where\'s the A+ titles?

and why the PS2 [a two year old console] is selling twice as much as the xbox?

ask them why they are biting the hand that feeds them and cutting nvidia out of the xbox2?

oh and tell them that mm from psx2central.com is mocking them for a mediochre japan launch and an emminent europe failure

Maybe you could slap a pie in your bosses face and ask him/her to give this one to Billy!

Walk up to them and look at the Console and say in a loud voice.

"It\'s a Bit F\'ing Large isn\'t it ! "


"My God ...look everone at the slow down on CO-OP HALO"


"Will this thing let me play that old MS classic Minesweeper ? .. i loved that old Windows 95 game"


"So are you guys worryed about the Japanese sales figures then ? "


" over 30 million PS2 in the world ... Worried ? "


"what happens if the fixed internal drive goes wrong ? "

"hey Buddy .. i bet you cant lift it with one hand ! "

"oh My Dear lord.. who hit the Staff and the console with the UGLY STICK ?"

" Aright ...anyone back to mine to play some PS2  ?

"i have i great idea do you guys want to stea.. sorry i mean buy it from me ? "

Although I\'m pro-Xbox I\'d get pissed if a bunch of M$ suits told me why their system is better than the PS2.  Ask them if it\'s ok to own more than 1 console or are they grumpy old fanboys.  If you see one of your co-workers sucked in by the hype tell them about the PS2 or just another console in general.

But if they don\'t imply how much better system X is over system Y then I say No Worries & enjoy the free gaming!

Can I ask you something? Why is it that you hate the xbox so? Let me guess, "Because it sucks" right?

Well... it\'s a launch party alright. It\'s just that the Xbox isn\'t the thing getting launched.

Nah, have fun there Racer.

PS. Try and see if you can get it to show a blue screen. :D

just tell them "i would buy one, but I\'m not sure if my penis will fit in the disc tray", they\'ll never mention the X-box around you, ever again.
