The End of the Original Xbox

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the the-xbox-is-dead-long-live-the-xbox dept.

Via eToyChest, a sobering look at the not so distant end of the Xbox. The article at 'Dubious Quality' also discusses the current/next-gen boundary for Sony, Nintendo, and the PC. From the article: "While there are already 40 Xbox 360 titles earmarked for release in 2007, the original Xbox has exactly zero titles currently scheduled with the retail chain. What does this mean exactly? Not much on its own, as company's could have things planned that are simply not in the system yet, but it sure does not paint a very rosy picture for the gigantic console that gave us so many fond memories."

    I like the name MacBook. What's wrong with "MacBook" or "MacBook Pro"?

    released and even (especially?) among

    drop the conjunction.
    either "...released, even among ..." [emphasising that the popularity among those born after its release is extraordinary] or

    "...released, especially among ..." [emphasising its extraordinary popularity among the younger group] would be acceptable.

    always recognizing that your english grammar is still better than that of most high school graduates in the States.
