XBox Defects Draw Ire
jeffy124 writes: "An article at CNN indicates that the XBox is having problems with defects. But the defects aren't the problem, the issue is lousy customer support from Microsoft's repair contractors, which is really what's more annoying to those who got defective units. Customer support has been giving out conflicting advice and some customers are having their support records lost."
actually the gamecube _WILL HAVE_ Mario Sunshine, Metroid and Zelda, and not for a while it sounds (summer hopefully).
your right about Smash though, and the gamecube too. it's a great system, and I'm a happy owner. slick hardware, nice small system,and great games like pikmin leave me very happy.
The only one that makes me need a PS2 there, is GT 3. MGS2 and FFX will eventually come out for PC. MSG1 and FF 7 and 8 did. 9 will, I hear. I don't like ICO or frequency that much. And as for GT3 that's 1 game. And it's not worth the 300$ system.
The GeekNights podcast is going strong. Listen!
This has got to be a troll or just another GCN fanboy. Try the following unique games that are really great (and these are just the ones I've got):
Now how about the ones that are apparently will eventually be ported, but I already have them:
This of course doesn't include some of the lesser titles, the upcoming titles, and the ones I don't have and didn't include (like SSX Tricky and THPS3, the latter of which I know is available on the GCN already).
Now, maybe you think some of these aren't worth it. Maybe. But for most of us, these are all great reasons to get a PS2.
I'm no Sony fanboy. I've already got a GBA, and as soon as some of the scheduled GCN titles arrive (Mario, Zelda, and some of the RPGs), I'm getting a GCN too.
But there's no way you're going to get my PS2.
Don't think of it as a flame---it's more like an argument that does 3d6 fire damage
Actually, the Japanese are more capitalist than Americans at least in one respect. When the U.S. Government places environmental restrictions on vehicles, it prohibits, say, GM from selling it's device's designs to any other company. Each company has to develop the devices seperately. Free market, or capitalism, would allow the sale of such designs between companies, but no, not in America. However, in Japan, this isn't the case. Not only does the Japanese government allow the sale of such designs between companies, it often assists companys making deals with foreign corporations. America is behind because it is less capitalistic, not more. BTW, there are other reasons why America is behind, not just the capitalism thing. We Americans have become lazy, not just physically, but also mentally.

Big deal.
What a petty, pointless story. I think my slashdot reading days are over.
Can anybody recommend any other sites that cover similar tech and science stories without the childish stories and comments here? and without the boring Linux/open source stuff too. I've always thought they sat uneasily together: Stories on cutting edge science, followed by story about an open source team managing to release a basic spreadsheet or something. I'm interested in software if it is new and interesting, not because of it's development philosophy.
