  1. Is this or is there not something to see? by nsasch · · Score: 2, Funny

    First you say there's something to see, the details of the XBox 360, now you say "Nothing for you to see here." Make up your mind!

    It's all very well taking it apart and all, but have you installed Linux on it yet? Get your priorities right!

      I would've bought one of those but my Master System never died on me so I just couldn't justify the purchase.

    Very appropriate for the, "hey here's a hot toy, lets take it apart!" With all the power that the next gen systems are reported to have I was expecting to see a glowing corona of pure energy (maybe like some blue and orangey colors) not a aluminum heatsink. When will manufacturers and designers make it look powerful as well as "be" powerful. *sniff* this is ruining a fantasy! :P --Reed

  6. CPU, GPU by Janek+Kozicki · · Score: 1, Funny

    for those who are too lazy:

    CPU: 3 PowerPC CPUs, each with 2 threads. that gives maximum 6 threads.
    GPU: some special dial core ATI card (one core smaller one bigger)

    there are a bunch of black plastic rectangles, a couple of fans, some ribbon cable, a hard drive and a few stray capacitors all soldered to a green circuit board.

    Good troll attempt, but unfortunately the console market is definitely not monopolized by MS. Try a different industry, like soft drinks, which is an dualopoly, complete with price fixing!
