I have decided. No X-box for me. Why have I decided that? Well I don't like the look of it. Not the whole console, just the annoying little tacky green in the middle. It just looks vile.

Here's what Microsft have to say about it, "Sleek and powerful in its look, in a rich shade of black, the Xbox console is emblazoned with a large "X" and a signature green Xbox "jewel" positioned in its center."

Oh, I see clearly now. Its rich black, and its not a tacky sticker but a jewel ooooooooh classy. Man I hate hype.

Well, to hopefully change this into a thread worth reading (maybe), I noticed Microsoft have a lot of hype littered around the X-Box site. They often compare their console to the others and say it is better.

So is this because they are running scared or that they are truthfully trying to tell us that they will wipe the floor with the opposition. I reckon hyping a console and saying it is better than the others is not really the best way of going about getting me to buy the X-Box.

Better than the others eh? I think we will be the judges of that.
