I got $250 in cold, hard cash. If i get this Xbox, that money will go right to the games and a year subscription to Xbox Live.

When Halo:Reach came out, me and my friends who were Xbox 360-less decided to dig up our old Xboxes and play Halo 2 on LAN. The best matches of Halo I've played so far were on that day.

I was able to sneak in couple of hours of Reach going over to the more fortunate people owning a 360, but it wasn't the same as playing 2.

Not very happy with finals underway.

Pretty sure an Incredible will cheer me up.

I care much about Engadget as long as they give me a free Motorola Droid.

"slightly better saling rate in the same time period"

And I am saying a console like the PS3 should've had more sales rather than just "slightly better".

Playstation 2 reached the 100 million sold milestone in just 5 years, the PS3 is not even halfway there in 3 years. Like anyone else, you would expect the PS3 to sell better, but it is even 6 million short of catching the 360. Blame the recession and call Playstation 2's sales a fluke, but you'd have to accept Sony squandered everything it had built up with the PS3.

It should've been able to crush 360 sales with its namebrand and recognition alone. The red-rings of death were just a freebie on top of it all, and Sony still couldn't pull it off.

Also, if you say PS3 sales were edging out 360 until it dropped the price-point, then I would say that price drop was a smart move for Microsoft. I mean, is it not what Sony is doing right now?

"And if you think about it, isn't that amazing? For a console to catch up to its competition that was released a year BEFORE it debuted."

No, that isn't so amazing. What is amazing is Sony's inability to sell a console that was not plagued with hardware troubles. Their inability to sell a console that had free multiplayer, better specs/hardware, and a brand name that was synonymous as the best selling console of all time.

Seriously, it got beat by the console that practically has 50% or higher failure rate. It better catch up or otherwise Sony better step out of the game.

And that isn't taking in the account of the console that is only as powerful as two Gamecubes.

Someone sounds bitter...

..justifiably so too, might I add.

I will show it to my old DS which has its top screen smashed.

I find it somewhat unsettling that this article is right above the Midway's possible sale of Mortal Kombat franchise.

Or maybe that is good, can't really say.

Whatever a "rock-it" is.
