hahahaha, you mean that 50 reasons to own XBox thing? For such a secretive manual, you would think they would be foolish to give them out to customers! hahahaha.

If you actually looked in that flyer you would realise it is highly untrivial. Basically they tell of the hardware, developers, etc. In a highly joking manner (I actually had a Nintendo fan get MAD by the flyer, LOL!) and they sum it up by saying that the games is all that matters.

Everything isn\'t all black and white, you know.  If MS was paying retailers and everyone else to buy their console, wouldn\'t XBox be selling more systems instead of selling LESS than Nintendo last month?

Is 50 reasons to own a x box the same as this spiral type manual that has written on it:  How to sell the x box.

Are these the same things?  I just want to confirm

If this "black book" does exist it\'s not uncommon for a company to send out info on how to sell their products.

X-Box crashing??? Never heard of it, but real evidence of PS2 refusing to read disc are as common as McDonald. And I have one of them lousy burgers.

As for the games, the PS2 is currently churning out more junk then PS1 in it\'s heyday.

yes, mm, but that was a launch problem, and even then could be attributed to user error (as MS was never able to assess the reason for XBoxs scratching disks. And that was also in a country where none of us live. If there was a problem, MS took the time to fix it. Sony just keeps sending out those shoddy PS2s. Pretty soon they are gonna have to start making "Upside-Down Horizontal Stands" LOL!!

Hell..I seriously doubt I\'ll be buying another SONY console after the all the problems I\'ve faced. There\'s no point in buying a console that refuse to work properly!!

anyway, I think SEGA makes the BEST console in the business(in terms of manufacturing quality). My saturn only has a problem once which I\'ve fixed easily by tuning the machine. The DC never gives problem...(but then, it never get much usage before it died).

Maybe SEGA should stop making software and instead license as a manufacturer for SONY and MS and the whole freaking world will be a much better place with less dodgy consoles.

My system works perfectly. I must admit that sometimes my PS2 just suddenly refuses to work but, after a few love pokes, it works just fine. :)

owned an original PSX, yes, the boxy grey one, never had to send it back.

owned an original PS2, yes, the black one w/ PS2 written on the base of it, never had to send it back.

Sony reliability = good = me supporting them

SR: don\'t get too cocky, pal. You just might be NEXT on SONY\'s list of 35million potential victims...sooner than u think.  Hee-hee.

After all, that\'s how they sell millions of it. LOL.
