There's a banner with an Xbox on it.

There's also a controller on this banner.

What's the green thing in the middle of the controller?

Does it serve a purpose, or does it just sit there being green?

chronic arthritis?

When i find a game i like, i usually play it non-stop. I dont like the sound of this. I already get occasional strains from the PS2 pad. Have u experienced any strains with the PS2 pad misterhappy?

Does the green bit have little figures in it? If you shake the controller, does snow start falling on the characters? Is it a snow globe?

Or does it just hide the memory card slot? :D

Crashing is a feature not a problem, its just to make sure you reboot it regular like.

It does sod all. I played on one in America. THe controller is an absolute beatch to use and it will give you chronic arthritis in your hands if you use it on a regular basis. My hands hurt for hours after playing on it.

But the greenbit does nothing discernable, although the x-box did crash when I was prodding it. Making me think that it might be a mind-control device as it had already crashed once and I was thinking "why do Microsoft products always crash?"

The Xbox's colour scheme is black and green, so its there for decoration. However I think the Bill Gates 3rd eye idea is probably right too. :-)

or maybe it's a dribble collector for when you see wreckless?
