The State of the Game Console Wars
An anonymous reader writes "Two years after the next-gen game consoles hit the market, the verdict is in. What does the future hold for each of the Big Three? Here is a thoughtful but crude summary of the X-Box vs. GC vs. PS2 ordeal."
Check out Microsoft's boobs! I had always heard Bill Gates was a giant boob, but I didn't believe it until now.
Written by trolls, for trolls ? Just RTFA [=
could the author be any more of a eunich?
My X-Box wins as it's running X-Box linux. :)
And, the article *does* read like a 11-year-old wrote it thinking he was an "3lit3 dewd."
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Dictator/cannibal Idi Amin Dada was found dead in his Saudi Arabian home this morning at the age of 80. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his banquets, there's no denying his contributions to cannibal culture. Truly a Ugandan icon.
Is there a way to mark this entire thread as -1 Troll, just before all of the PC and console zealots arrive? I can smell them coming.
It would be a kind of flashing warning sign to others entering into the thread. Ya know, safety purposes.
The biggest black out in US history just happened 2 days ago and you people are sitting around talking about "game console wars"?

Personally I own an Xbox(and the controller is the perfect size). It hardly seems up to the standard for a "war", mac vs pc(war), linux vs everybody(war), cube vs xbox vs ps2(chick fight). It's just not that big a deal. Why not just create REALLY good PC games instead of spending all your time working on perty lil boxes(though this is basically what MS did)? I must say I liked the way the article was written, It was readable and seemed to fit with the discussion.
vampirical

I wonder if this is an article where the majority of Slashdotters won't mind if you don't RTFA!
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Reichsfuhrer Adolf Hitler was found dead in his Berlin bunker this morning at the age of 56. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his blitzkrieg, there's no denying his contributions to Jewish culture. Truly a Nazi icon.
Do Idi Amin ones dude! He just died and he was brutal as a mofo! And if you're into jewish culture idi came to power with the backing of Israel! Snazy right?
A pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel on his crotch and the bartender looks to him and says "Buddy, what's with the steering wheel on your crotch?" The pirate looks back at him and says "Yarrr, it's driving me nuts!"
First the stupid Scout Walker Kama Sutra yesterday and now this? For shame Slashdot...for shame. I used to enjoy this site, now it appears you are trying to become more like fark.com.
They didn't take any controllers, or the dvd remote, or the leads. If the fucktards ever got it to work, they would have found Bloodduster's Fisting the Dead album on the hard drive, among other music only a mother could love their son playing (damn that's a mixed metaphor). Sorry. I suppose I am still upset.

I guess I just got lucky. :)

I just don't like seeing that stuff without any kind of warning about what I'm getting into, and then getting the kind of reaction I did to just raising the protest that there wasn't much of a warning kind of threw me off. I have the option turned on that warns me where links go, so I don't click on things that go to dubious domains. That's all.
Oh, and by the way, I use OS X and love it.
No hard feelings, I hope.
