Jeez, Microsoft can't do anything right    How about that? Their console is brought out at a bad time, with half-assed games, made by Americans, and now people are fighting over it?

They. Are. Doomed.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. - Three men were convicted of murder Tuesday in the slayings of six people who authorities said beat the shit out of them with baseball bats in a dispute over an Xbox video game system.

I had to do that.

Bill Gates promotes violence.

And on the news when the Xbox 360 came out ther were people sleeping out side of the stores for those game boxes. That's rediculious!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, the console HAS the potential to be good, but most of the games suck, and if you own a PC, you don't need an Xbox! I mean, for gawd's sake, my dad kept telling me to get an Xbox because 'you can put a chip in it and get all of the Nintendo games in the world on the one console'. I can already do that for free with emulators!

Your dad rocks.

Not when he's telling me to sell my other consoles and keep JUST AN XBOX.  I'm a dedicated Nintendo fan, so I'd never get rid of my precious SNES, Game Boys, Gamecybe, N64, etc.

Didn't a son kill his mother over American Idol a few months ago?

Probably. And they believe that violence comes from violent shows/films.

Haha! Topsy-turvy world.

That's crazy over American Idol. During huricane katrena a man killed a women over the last bag of ice in Windixie.

Damn. I hope you noticed I changed around a couple of words in the article

We know Matt...

A son I believe severly injured his mother on who would win American Idol. I don't think she died.

Around my area of upstate New York, two men fought over a piece of cake. One man killed the other with a butcher knife out of the kitchen.

This is the stuff I am talking about. Thank you for posting and sharing your stories.
