Xbox 360 crime wave hits home

Nov 29th 2006 3:05AM (Joystiq Xbox)
Let me help you ALL who are missing the point as to why his comment is being deemed racist. I don't care if the article said "3 black men" did whatever. If the news article feels the need to specify the race, I don't care.

But for Ken Weeks to say that it buys a lot of similac or crack is feeding off of a stereotype. Now before you throw the tired "most crimes are drug-related" argument, let me give you a rebuttal.

What about the handful of stories we were hearing about last week overseas where truckloads of Xbox 360s were being stolen? The perps are ASSUMED to be non-black due to the location. The race wasn't specified (which is usually the case if it is a non-ethnic race) and no bloggers felt the need to bring up crack and similac at that time.

On an unrelated sidenote, I'm black....

Def Jam pimped out for next gen, 1st images

When they say interactive environments, they aren't talking about the way you referred to in your article. Look at the screens. In the background, the buildings you see will bob, sway, and move back and forth to the beat of the music playing in the background. It also will move in sync to music you play in the customizable soundtrack on the 360.

At that gas station, if you slam your opponent into the pump, it will break and flames will shoot out in rhythm to the music playing in the background. You can also use it to your advantage.

And when you're playing as Ludacris, for example, vs another opponent, if a Ludacris song comes on while playing, Ludacris will get a power increase. To balance that out, the opponent has the opportunity to change the music playing in order to block the boost.

I hope that paints a clearer picture
