Breaking News:

Reports from the Microsoft X-Box assembley factory indicate that a number of workers are suffering from back pains and eyesore-itis.

One anonymous (middle-aged, 'ex-programmer') worker (wearing a PIKMIN T-Shirt) said:

'I was trying to carry the whole X-Box in one go with out disassembling it and I hurt my back'

Other victims of the X-Box were:

O-how-mi I Hertz, R. Thuritis and F. Meister

After being questioned about the incidents Bill Gates gave the following statement:

"We will be supplying our employees with new contracts that clearly state that we accept no responsibily for the their stupidity in looking at, or lifting the X-Box..."

One reporter asked about the possibility of shoulder straps to combat the fact that the Gamecube has a handle. Mr Gates gave no reply.

More as it becomes available.

The new X-box should be great.

Apparently its a machine that can surf the net, download and play mp3s, do your homework and publish magazines.

The problem is that with all this power, Microsoft have decided to take away one small element, the ability to play games.

-------

The gamecube will rule...

...a small town in Outer Mongolia apparently.

-------

Sony unviel more news on peripherals for the Playstation 2. A radiator add-on and a holgraphic projector.

The projector comes with a free nucular powerstation to run it.

More news when the pigeon recovers....

In a shocking new development we have uncovered the 'facts' about the GameCube assembly line:

1. It's located in Purley.
2. They use the same mould for the GameCube casing as for biscuit tins.
3. The handle was added as a last minute design feature to make it easier to throw your GC out of the window.
4. They've replaced the graphics hardware in the original design specs to counteract complaints of muddy graphics. A new software fix has been implemented, called MS Paint.
5. Rumours of a last minute colour change for the casing abound to counteract the 'kiddy console' image. Latest suggestions are 'Adult Azure', 'X-Rated Red', 'Mature Mauve', 'Grown-up Green', and 'Old-age Orange'.
6. They are having trouble getting the new colours, because they contracted to Dulux, who advise that these particular mixes of the spectrum just come out as muddy.
7. Nintendo are thinking of pulling out of the games market at the last minute, because of the extra cost involved of producing the special disc holders that are required to hold their 'special' game discs, they can't use the standard ones.
8. GameCube spelt backwards is EbucEmaG, which in Japanese translates as 'I am the Devil, bow down to me'. Lobbyist groups are already campaigning for Nintendo to cease all production.
9. Beta testers for the games went on strike last week because Nintendo wouldn't provide free sweeties in their creche.
10. The QA department were astonished to find that the first GC's off the production line contained not hi-tech hardware, but a collection of light and dark milk chocolate digestive biscuits. They are reviewing having their production facility set up in the same factory as the local confectionary manufacturer.

More news, as it doesn't happen, from your Ninty Correspondent.
