GameCube Hits the Street

Just like Jap cars, this system is bound to be unreliable and will break often. It will be exactly like every other Nintendo system, too: kiddy and crappy. Nintendo only cares about money these days and not games.
Then again, what should I expect from a company run by stinking Japs? Just imagine if they were Jewish, too.
get GAMECUBE - you'll piss Bill Gates off!
Here's your 511-bit prime, you fucking karma whore:
7 50 1583029487651
37485937568235749131467845679351056835376543984
By the way, it's MSb is padded with a 0. Why didn't you just ask for a 512-bit prime, asshole?
"Informative"? Sheesh!
Slashdot is a geeknews sight and it should righfully stick to topic now that the word of the attack has been more the spred. Now more then ever people need outlets...outlets to normality.
... do you seriously know what it is even like to go through this now as a US citizen? We're talking about going to war with something that can not been seen ot touched.
As lame as it may sound.. it is comforting to read tech news stories like this. Even if they are about stupid video games. I honestly don't know if I can watch the regular news right now. I'm sick and moreover, scared.
Screw you for calling me a "Fucking wanker"
shesss...damn Anonymous Coward

i love that logo...
First we will see the Metriod, Zeldas, Starfox remakes and stuff like that....Then it will all go back to Barbie, Digimon, Olsen Twins, and finally POKEMON!!!!! Ill stick with my "mature" PS2. Plus the XBOX is just a small computer with joystick ports on it, I dont really see an XBOX2 in the future because if they are smart they will make it so you can upgrade the original XBOX. But then again we are talking about Microsoft here...
Who modded this? There is not a hint of troll in this question. It isn't biased, it isn't trying to flame anyone. It's a perfectly descent post. I hope Taco revokes your moderator priveleges...
This sig isn't original enough, it's time to come up with something witty...
It doesn't matter how good GameCube, or PS2 for the matter, is. They will both fail under the X-box. MS is unstoppable. They have infinite amounts of cash to market, bundle games, lean on retailers, and buy up game developers.
If you don't like these bundling agreements you've read about with Xbox, too bad. You're going to buy them anyway, whether you want to or not. You'll just grumble and pay the MS 'tax'.
As much as I dislike the prospects, in the future there will only be one game console, X-box, only one os, XP. Only one OO language, C#. All ecommerce will flow through Redmond. The SSSCA will make Linux, FreeBSD, and other os's illegal. It will also make it illegal to develop anything new, because first you have to make it SSSCA compliant.
CS just isn't going to be any fun any more.
Sorry for getting off topic.
WTF? Who moderated this as a troll? Did you eat a giant bowl of dumbass this morning?
