Review: Zune phone? Roflmao. Would Microsoft lke to copy anything ELSE from Apple? I mean come on at what point does MS say to itself "Self, maybe we should start coming up with our own ideas. Before people start looking at us as copy cats." I mean come on man. Come on. I predict the end of MS as we all know it within 5 years. Macs will regain their original place at the head of the class as most used computer and OS and people will remember when MS took half a decade before it upgraded Windows XP. So predictable.

Review: I used to own all three game platforms from the previous generation and I am also an active PC gamer. I got to say that Xbox is on the bottom of the list. Not because I hate Microsoft or anything but I found that Xbox games were not making the cut. I think Halo is an "ok" game if compare with the gold titles from PS2 such as Final Fantasy or Devil MayCry. Moreover, I found that playing first-person shooting game on game console is very troblesome. The bottom line is, I dont see why Halo 3 would boost Xbox 360 sales and I think Playstation games are much better compare with Xbox.

Review: Microsoft claims that the software pirates of XP and Office are thieves. The real thief here that causes normal people to "steal" software, is Microsoft! I looked at an Internet site: Windows XP NL: 288 euro!! Office 2003: 200 euro!! So I have to work half a month, 5 days a week 40 hours, because someone likes the XBOX! Kids, go play with your toy cars, mom and dad need a PC with XP and Office without paying 400 euros to Microsoft.

Review: PatHoHo, are you kidding me? Sony backed by better games! Do you remember the PS2 launch? Let me refresh your memory: Silpheed, Orphen, Fantavision, Summoner, etc. All crap. I talked to my Sony rep yesterday who told me that she wished they would delay the PS3 even further as they have no good games lined up for launch. What are you hoping for there, Killzone 2, SOCOM 134? I'd rather play Halo 2 on the regular Xbox. Sony has nothing new, and the only thing the PS3 has going for it is the Blue-ray drive, which has been annoounced as the new technology of choice for the porn industry. Other than that, they have a hypothetical system that looks like a George Foreman grill with Spiderman 3 written on the top, and a boomerang controller. I can't wait for the new graphics on the "Disc Read Error" screen. Keep holding your breath fan boys.

Review: Dear reality, get a clue. Look at the past year's stock prices for Nvidia and atyt before saying something else as stupid as your last comment.

Review: This article really has piqued my interest as to how Microsoft plans on making a profit with the Xbox 360. If these numbers are correct and Microsoft is hypothetically looking at an initial hole of $126 per unit shipped, what is the margin of profit made on each individual game sold by Microsoft? Or do developers instead have to directly purchase rights from Microsoft to develop games for that particular platform? Regardless, I would love to see a follow up article on the software side done by BW. If it does already exist, could someone please post the URL for it?

Review: Who cares about this stuff? It's a game. Go max out your 401K and Roth IRA instead of spending money on this nonsense. Games are for kids, adults should be paying attention to more important things, as should the media that hypes this crap.

Review: Here's a thought: what if Microsoft doesn't recoup its losses by the time people figure out how to pirate and distribute the software? Although I'm sure the've got some pretty good anti- pirating technology in there, this could be a significant risk. My money is on the PS3, people trust them and they are backed by way better games.

Review: Too little, too late microsoft! I have a PS2, PSP and an original Xbox. I rarely, if ever, play the Xbox. PS2 has better games and more of them! Why should I pop down $50 for a new box that I am certain I will not use. It makes no sense. Microsoft has had three years to get game manufacturers to join up, and like their new system, they failed again. This company had one success and rode it into the ground-- Wait till PS3 comes out and then we will see who is top dog!
