Get a spine. Even the likes of you know better than to trust someone like "monkey-boy".
Otherwise you're on the wrong site. Go to teamxbox.com or something.

It's not even a Geforce 3. Not only that, but the intel processor has the power of a celeron, and in the two time's i've played a kiosk, it's crashed. Both times on Halo.
Well.. Personally I think that it's a bit of a snowball effect. Once M$ and Redhat pulled out, everyone else started to pull out. Cisco, intel, AMD. Everyone wants to go where M$ is, and M$ want's to go where the most geeks are. So last year it was E3, I think. It's kind of like the Wallmart issue we have here in US. Wallmart comes in to small town and builds HUGE store. Small shops all close up. People leave, property sits empty, Wallmart does less and less buisness, leaves, then the town colapses.
Same with COMDEX. M$ sees a geek gathering, comes in and sponsers the gathering, builds the biggest, most shiney booth there. Then sees that another show is "better". Realizes that they now have a console too, and decides that if they can use the console to get into that show, then they can push XP, and all of the next versions: sedcut and lester(or whatever). M$'s money leaves, other vendors leave. Show colapses. Show tells you to enter naked. I've seen it a million times.
dude, ease up. that was a joke. I thought it was pretty funny. Come on! Xbox? In the paint shakey thing? And it's all shaking and stuff? Then it rattles?
With the top-loading design, I really don't see anyone trying to stack a DVD player, or 24lb Sony 5.1 receiver on top of the 4" by 4" gamecube.
Ha ha ha!

Will someone please point me to a home entertainment cabinet, sold at Best Buy, that has climate control. This is rediculous. If it truely is heat, MS is screwed. There's no way to candy-coat it. This doesn't even cover what's going to happen when when you get a years worth of dust in that sucker.
bah. Don't worry about it. Most "fans" of the Xbox are little snot-nosed punks that haven't been around long enough to know any better. They see the Xbox as a revolutionary console. Meanwhile the older, smarter, gaming fans know that MS is unoriginal and unwise. My money's on the Gamecube.
I totally agree. Mariokart is my crack... IMO there's nothing more fun, than four 25-year-old males, sitting around drinking beer on a tuesday night. Scratching our behinds, beltching and cursing, while we try to control mariokart.
It's really easy to sit behind a screen and type messages like, "Let's rally to save Loki." "Someone set up an account and I for one will donate." Then no one does. If you want to help Loki, go buy a game NOW. Not tomorrow. Not next week. Now. Don't sit around talking about how people should have done this and that, and ho-hum where can I get Max Payne for free... Just go to Loki's site and buy a game.
I think that maybe we ought to look at who is on the front line? Would you work in a customer support situation for $6.95 an hour? How about $7.95? All too often people complain about the lack of support, but fail to realize that there are tons of factors that drive human-beings out of customer support jobs. I hated taking calls from people who never thought of me as a human and started screaming at me for something that wasn't even my personal fault. Consumers need to realize that people work these desks, so that at the end of the day, the last thought that a customer support rep doesn't have is, "I don't need this..."
You're right, but keep in mind the fact that if HE can copy cds and cassettes, so can everyone. Sorry if there's a lot of people in the world. 1.4 million or only 5; it doesn't matter. If he can do it, we all can.
I had 4 albums (FOUR!!!) on cassette that were either old and distorted, or broken all together. I downloaded only the songs that I had already paid to listen to. As it turns out, some company all the way across the country sees this and submits my name to Metallica, who inturn, submits it to Napster. Now I find myself kicked off of Napster for downloading Metallica songs legally. Also, I'm sorry if Metallica is losing it's bread money, but I don't agree that Lars can sit there and say that he copies things illegally, but he's just one man . Give me a break Lars. There are how many people in the U.S.? In the world? What's good for you is good for everyone. That's the way the world works. If YOU can copy songs without permission, so can 1.4 million people in 48 hours. Sucks when it happens to you huh? ------------------------------- Trim the fat!!
It's very easy to bring up data like this, now that the RIAA has someone to point the finger at. Funny how noone really complained about anything when it was just Oth.net etc... ----------------- Trim the fat!!!

Just wait till M$ decides to crash Defcon.
