The Xbox 360 Unveiled
You may or may not have caught the Xbox 360 unveiling on MTV Thursday night, but the internet will provide. A plethora of sites have photos, videos, commentary, specifications, and interviews about the new system. Your fellow readers have pulled together to provide links to: 1up.com, Joystiq, Gamespot, The BBC, CNN, NYT, Gamespy, Team Xbox, Voodoo Extreme, Anandtech, and eToyChest. The official Xbox 360 site opened last night as well for word straight from the source. For more official images Ourcolony.net has been 'solved', and now features an OurColony specific video preview. Finally, for commentary on the event, the Video Game Ombudsman provides an alternative to the press releases. From the post: "Kyle Orland (9:28:42 PM): The future of gaming is a girl in a blue dress?
Dan Dormer (9:28:47 PM): The future of gaming is a girl with a bag?
Kyle Orland (9:28:57 PM): She's the Xbox! OMG!"
Bear is Driving!

This is just as well, I would really love to see those old COBOL apps scream on this thing!
(Note, this is a joke)

..and if you follow these simple steps, your spelling is guaranteed to improve. ;)
Isn't that a redundant question? Shouldn't it be more like "Are you from Boston or from some other place that has retards?"

"6. When referring to the Xbox, try to scew the name a bit. Xblox, eggs bocks, the stupider the name, the more favorable of a response you will get."

Dude, you cream your pants when any cute girl older than 12 goes across your TV or monitor...your point? :D
Q:Why don't the British make Game Consoles?
A:They haven't figured out how to make them leak oil yet.
My apologies in advance for dry humor.
I think that could be said for food and.. well anything brittish.
Not really interesting until it runs Linux.
When it does, will there be a reason to upgrade my old one? Can it capture video? Can it take USB drives?
LoL M$ sux0rs!
Faggot.
Does she come with the xbox?
12. Preemptive strike. Make a list of funny troll to-do list and hope to shut up all anti-Xbox gamers out there. That way you get an 'in your face' attitude not to mention a high probablility of getting good mod points and/or karma.
I am not a PS3 fan boy by any stretch of the imagination. Hell, I've owned every console BUT the N64 and Gamecube (I'm a little tired of Nintendo's kid centric approach to their systems).
That being said, I was, to say the least, very underwhelmed. Ghost Recon 3 looked interesting, and the Sports games looked good (even though I hate sports games). Nothing else looked particularly impressive and some of the games looked worse than existing current generation games.
Microsoft is pulling the trigger way to early. The current systems have at least another good solid year in them, and a year of additional development can make a helluva difference in quality for the new systems.
As it is, it looked more like the transition from Sega Genesis to Sega 32x than from Sega Genesis to the PlayStation/2, and that's not a good thing.
Here's to hoping they can pull off a miracle in 6 months, but I'm skeptical.

Personally, I always preferred:
Xbox = Suckscocks
Playstation = Gaystation
Gamecube = Lamecube
Thats what is wrong with thes people. no humor.
