Xbox Price Drops For Australia And Europe
wallitron writes: "Due to slow sales in Australia, Microsoft is looking to drop the price of it's XBox to $399 (around $200US). With a fast CPU, wizzy graphics card, ethernet, DVD and TV out, it would be a handy thing in the living room if it ran a real OS. At that price it seems good value. Check out the article on the price drop." There are price drops in Europe, too.

If you are so f**king concerned with running Linux on your TV set in the living room, build a computer with a graphics card, ethernet, DVD, and TV out and hook it the fuck up to your TV set. Quit bitching about a what is in all reality A VIDEO GAME CONSOLE. It's not meant to be a PC.
I'll bet the EULA for an X-box strictly forbids that you purchase them somewhere other than within a 50 mile radius from your house or some other draconian rule. This is so Microsoft can control their prices and legally bust people who don't want to pay $300 for an X-box and just go to to buy one for $200. It wouldn't surprise me a bit.
Job? I don't have time to get a job! Who will sit around and bitch about being broke and unemployed then?
Reading the two links from slashdot, I couldn't help but notice the poor journalism and grammatical errors committed by the authors of the aformentioned articles. Identically, this has occurred multiple times on cnn.com's international correspondence pages, especially when reporting the violence in the Middle East. Is this where all of our beloved undergraduate English majors surface?
I have 50 karma, so I could give two shits and a fuck if you moderate me down. I'm just noticing poor grammar everywhere, so screw you.
