The problem you Xbox fanboys are having is that nobody is taking these reviews seriously, just like pretty much nobody took what Amiga and the Dreamcast fanboys had to say all that seriously either.
It's one of the reasons the PS2 sales haven't been affected one wit by the Xbox and it's "supposed superior" technology.
So what? Modding isn't of much interest to people who own a PS2. Maybe that's one of the reasons the PC gamering world can't seem to deal with the fact that most Linux users aren't all that interested in PC games because most of us own a PS2.

It's pretty clear that these "Reviewers" are nothing more than MicroSoft Astroturfers. Think about it. Who else would actually sit down and create such absurd conditions for "reviewing" something like this? I don't care for the idea of Lindows,but these "Reviews" read just like the BULLSHIT the Xbox churned out about how the PS2 was Soooo lacking in comparsion to the Xbox before the PS2 blew away the Xbox in the real world.

That the Xbox crowd is pretty much trying to sell the Xbox as *EVERYTHING* but a GAME CONSOLE these days. Is this the same machine that was going to *BURY* the PS2 and it's "inferior" games and technology less than a year ago?

Totally and utterly wrong. The reason the "Gaming" market under Linux "flopped" is because there never was one. Most Linux users abandoned the PC Gaming Market *YEARS* ago in favor of the Console Market. Some of us were DOS gamers who never made the jump to buying and playing games under Windows mostly because of the bloated system requirements of the Windows Games and not wanting to deal with people (cheaters) like you anymore.
