That was hilarious Chrono. No, really, it was.

Sarcasm is so funny.  Dont we have a tag for that?

Probably because she is. At least she\'s cuter than that one "official Xbox bikini babe".

Cause she is a 14 year-old perhaps...People are that age at some point in their life.(just a shot in the dark here)

Anyways, was anyone EVER expecting Xbox to do well in Japan or even not be considered a failure?:rolleyes: Really, is there a reason besides hatred why some people here continually post and attack Xbox sales in Japan? We know its doing horribly there, we know it\'s not going to significantly improve over one week\'s time. Either you want it to fail or you\'re just a troubled little person. It\'s a gaming console, not the devil. I\'m started to see why AlteredBeast is always so angry...
Who is this anamoly we call Jumpman? How is he able to do what he does and still survive after years of torment? It seems he feeds on the hate, growing with an intense passion to put unassuming members in their place.

It\'s a cult. It\'s cool to hate anything Microsoft. Which is fine, we all need hobbies. :)

My only question is why would anyone want to limit their choices when it\'s all about the games.

It\'s about money and not wanting their money to be wasted.

There are a few on this board that would deny anything MS.

There really is a cult of MS haters out there. I see it all the time. Not just this board but everywhere, and I think that some of them don\'t even know why they hate MS.

If you hate MS for this reason, then you would have to hate Sony as well if you don\'t want it to be a double standard.

Perhaps you missed it when Sony stated they wanted the PS2 to be the center of home entertainment? Where the PS2 would be for gaming, movies, internet, etc?

Or how about when they blackmailed retailers?
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.

Ever since Nintendo made a critical error with the N64, Sony has pratically had a very strong hold on the gaming market and especially third party developers. Buying them out, paying them off, dirty tactics, etc. Sure, with the PSX they didn\'t use any dishonest business tactics but did MS when they started developing computer software?

Right now, Sony is no better than MS.
