    This is what Microsoft should have done from the start - give away the Xbox for free ^_^

    I've just started a diet to watch my girlish figure. No Mountain Dew for me. Our office buys quite a bit of Pepsi though.

    With the hours I put in for programming I have a constant I-V of coke. I will switch that over when the pepsi bottles show up. This is one heck of a marketing gimmick by Microsoft and pepsi. If it does not help blow sony away I would be surprised.

    Wonder how much someone will pay on Ebay for one. And if people get an Xbox 360 before it comes out, what will they do with it? It would suck if it wasn't backwards capable.

    I don't know, but I'd certainly love to be among the first! :)
    I was one of the brave souls (or foolish individuals depending on your point of view) who bought the overpriced Sega Saturn on its "surprise launch" back in Spring of 1995. Damn was it cool to be the first to have the new system, even before half my friends knew that it had been released....but goddamn, I paid the price!

    Yes, in fact if it doesn't have Microsoft written on it, it's bound to fail, judging by your posts ;)

    Not really. I believe through it all nintendo will be the victor. Low cost and family games and if the rumor is true on being able to play old nintendo titles It has me sold. I just believe sony being late and high priced will adversly effect them.

    Heh, it was just something I'd noticed in your posts tonight - a slight "Microsoft will crush Sony" attitude, don't take me too seriously ;)

    We'll have to see who'll win/draw, I doubt Nintendo will honestly regain that much ground over Sony though.
