quality, as usual :lol:

I hope everyone realizes that they're joking. It's freakin' hilarious.

he poor saps who defy all logic and buy an Xbox 360 won't be able to play this season's hottest titles such as the Playstation 2 version of 50 Cent: Bulletproof, EyeToy: Operation Spy, and The Official Playstation Magazine Demo Disc.

As of this time, there are only a handful of people using the Xbox 360's Live online multiplayer service, and they are mainly Microsoft employees and members of the gaming press. The console has not actually gone on sale yet, but it's obvious that such a pitifully low number of users means no one is interested and that the Live service will tank horribly.

:rofl:

still, though, jay allard's so gay

[Technique]

hahaha that is some funny stuff.

[worx]

Analysts also warn that the Xbox 360 could potentially carry a mutated strain of the asian bird flu. The consoles are being assembled in China, which is notorious for being asian.

I'm so not getting one now

Is this site similar in context as www.theonion.com? First of all the photo of Jay Allard looks more like Michael Stipe; which I'm sure it is Stipe.

"Microsoft only cares about these select individuals, leaving the rest of us to wonder whether or not the Xbox 360 will even be worth buying if we don't have an HDTV. The answer is a resounding "NO WAY MAN".

In reguards to this comment I fully disagree. I have a normal TV and just got my copy of Kameo and the graphics look fenominal. They might not be HD quality, but there is a significant difference between Xbox and 360 graphics even on Standard TV's.

[Scorch]

Yes, it's Stipe.

And yeah, Stipe is gay (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/showbiz/1329994.stm).

Funny read. Thanks for sharing. :)

Something Awful is hilarious. Particularly Photoshop Phriday... Comedy Goldmine used to be really good too, I liked it more when it was like another version of PP.

Somethingawful is more internet/videogame culture oriented ;-)

dude-- you should've read the next paragraph after that:

According to analysts, the console will detect when a standard non-HDTV is connected and then magically make each game's high polygon counts, lighting effects, normal mapping, motion blur, and other state of the art visual effects disappear completely. After this process games will look considerably worse than the superior titles on the Playstation 2 (which is available in stores now), and will actually be rendered entirely in 2D with crude sub-Pong graphics. Analysts say that in addition to looking slightly worse than Pong when displayed on a normal television set, every single Xbox 360 game will literally be Pong but with completely unresponsive controls. Whether you buy the newest football game, first person murder simulator or racing game the results will be the same: Crappy Pong. You're free to make up your own mind as to whether that's a good thing or not, but I am telling you right now that it's not and as a member of the press I am infallible.

I have no idea why Microsoft chose to launch the system with 18 titles instead of 500, but it's safe to say they definitely hate their audience.

haha... Oh why does Microsoft hate us!

[FaintDeftone]

The HDTV comment was pretty good.

[Zoglog]

oh shit, thnx for the post OP. I'm going to sell my xbox 360 now and go buy 50 Cent Bulletproof

"Analysts also warn that the Xbox 360 could potentially carry a mutated strain of the asian bird flu. The consoles are being assembled in China, which is notorious for being asian. Despite this blatant public health risk, Microsoft has decided not to check any of their units for the bird flu. I guess profit means more to them than human life. "

had to be the best part.
