Something that pisses me off about XBOX

because we have the best hospitals and schools.

Which you can never afford to go to. Harvard, YALE keep dreaming, as for the best hospitals, you really mean the doctors and there equipment, which again only the rich will ever benefit from, not the majority of Americans, so who cares.

In Canada, allot of that **** is free, well not really are taxes are a real *****.

Free? Again, it\'s egocentric and reductionalist. I live in Canada, Everything I make gets taxed at a rate of about 40-45%. Then whenever I buy anything, I get taxed

A fellow Canuk, Well watchie I\'m from Toronto and I got NIF\'s(north Island Funds) to pay for three years of schooling of what ever I want for free, and that\'s how it is in Canada folks!
If you’re smart and live in CANADA you will get the government to pay for your education. SO Watchdog if you plan to go back to school I can tell you of 4 different ways to get your school paid for

PS. (NIFS) is paying for my school, my rent to live there, my car insurance and my gas and food money. LOL!!

Oh and I have lived in the states for 4 years when I was 15-19, and I could hardly tell the diff from TORONTO, Americans don\'t understand we live just like them in our metropolis area\'s.

"I\'m from the government and we\'re here to help you"

Gives me the chills.

You can have all your state run agencies. Government is not meant to carry you from the craddle to the grave.

I wish everything could be "free" but it doesn\'t work that way.
Somebody has to pay.

CLAP, CLAP.... Bravo ace, Bravo-f*CKING O!!:bounce: (in a sarcastic manner)

Your brilliant, you know that, you are indeed right, somebody does have to pay. That somebody is myself and 30 million other Canadians, it\'s called TAX! We here in Canada pay high taxes, for that is what allows us to have somewhat free health care, and education.

Please tell me that\'s not a hint of jealously I smell(or maybe I\'m getting the wrong impression here, if so I apologize). I am well aware that the government is not our friend, you guy\'s over in America know all too well about uncle Sam and his BLACK OP\'s money, heck even president eisen hower warned the American people about the military industrial complex(black op\'s money support that)...**** I’m rambling on.

Back to my point, hint of advise my friend "seize the Opportunity"
if you don\'t then your a moron. In other words if there is a window of great opportunity then take it, if you don\'t someone else will. If my gov is willing to pay for my education, then why the hell not take it, I’d be stupid if I didn\'t. With that being taken care of I can now focus all my time and energy on my studies, which will allow me to achieve a higher learing.

CLAP, CLAP.... Bravo ace, Bravo-f*CKING O!! (in a sarcastic manner)

Thanks for pointing out that you were being sarcastic. I was getting ready to pat myself on the back. :rolleyes:

I am not jealous. Apology excepted.

Actually I got that from "FACE OFF" remeber when cage has no face and he compliments the doctor.

CAGE: BRAVO...CLAP.....Bravo-f*CKING O clap.

Doctor:what do you want?

CAGE: Take one Fuc*ing Guess (DUH...)-ME

I didn\'t get the reference. I haven\'t seen the movie.

I didn\'t get the reference. I haven\'t seen the movie.  

Believe me you didn\'t miss much

I\'m too tired to read through the whole thread, but Xbox (or any other console) probably won\'t get you those super high resolutions with AA implemented etc, simply because bandwidth is pretty low on it and not enough. Another thing is, how many people have a HDTV outthere? Worldwide? Certainly not enough for any developer to seriously consider it.

AFAIK, AA eats up fillrate, not bandwidth.

Hmm.. maybe the government wouldn\'t have to pay for yer school if they didn\'t take half your money.

I have a BIG problem with government stealing my money... and that\'s exactly what it is, theft.  The only thing government should have absolute control over is national defense... everything else should be free market (except in extreme situations, where intervention will be put to a vote)

So i take loans out for school, the grants help also... but i have paid way more in taxes this year, then they have paid for my school.  

I know most canadian are pretty gung ho about there government.  But remember everything that your government controls is one less choice you have.  If noone has guesses yet i am a Libertarian... not the militia kind, I just believe in a freedom.  If i want to pay for insurense and go to an HMO .. that is my perogitive.  If not, than no government should force me to pay for things i may or may not ever use.  Social Security is a good example... i had a friend growing up who made $500 a month becuase his father was injured.  His father got $1500 a month... WTF why are they wasting all that money, especially when his mother worked also.

And we have to pay for crap like that.

I believe you should do whay ya want as long as it doesn\'t hurt anyone esle.  I don\'t approve of many things, but i have know right to judge what is acceptable.

So why does the government control Police, Postal Service and the like... these industries qould benifit greatly from compitition...


okay okay, enough fer now
later

the japanese just have higher standards then americans, thats all

its a well established cultural difference

they expect more and will sacrifice less than a typical american gamer, kina like errrrrr me

MM you get games cheaper than japanese people......you get them from the back of a van dont you?!

I think XBox will reach its potential because MS has enough weapons to do it !:)

you mean cash?

unless they give xbox\'s away for free, its not gonna have a hope

i was looking thru the sunday paper ads today and i noticed something strange

best buy
circuit city
toys-R-us
compUSA

NONE of the ads had any reference to xbox or xbox games at all

seemed very odd to me, i\'ll have to check again next week
