X-BOX make me Chuckle

[Embattle]

BW has posted a story about faulty X-Box units for use in store displays http://www.barrysworld.com/news/default.asp?Item=25062.

What makes this funny is that MS is proving that the X-Box is more of a PC than a console:

Soon after, a screen appeared that said the Xbox needed customer service repair

Microsoft a warning about console machines. They either work or don't when you turn them on and shouldn't have the need for such a message since generally they work.

X-Box will most probably be modified to display this message...'Do you want to report this error to MS?'

Don't be such a load of miserable gits Wait and give the thing a chance. It might be shit, it might be good. You don't know yet.

Every system has bugs, just by the time they're released, they hide them behind random resets and freezes.

[ala timesplitters on the ps2, which rather stupidly freezes if you scroll through all the characters in mp mode]

Problem is, is that is going to have to compete with the GameCube, which totally rocks.

 

[Wij]

u got one ?

 

[old.Jayminator]

The GameCube is absolute shite at the moment. Xbox is looking the better of the two - even with all this anti PR bollocks going around at the moment.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

"looking"

You haven't played on one then so. so please, do shut up.

Wij - no, at the moment I don't have one, but I've played on one extensively and it really is very, very good. Also: I'm thinking of importing a Japanese console soon, if a certain chain of event occurs.

Super Monkey Ball is supposed to 0wn

 

[Wazzerphuk]

It does, it's one of the best games I've ever played. So much fun it's incredible.

 

[shabazz]

Better than playing with your lady friend?

 

[old.Kez]

He doesn't have a lady friend.

 

[Wij]

Wazz ? No, he's not allowed one
