Yet again the MS have been massaging the Sales figures or lack of sales figures to state that they are now the No 2 console in Europe. When infact GC was the 2nd best seller in Europe selling 100,000 more than Xbox.
MS claim is based not on sales figures, but rather ratio's in the month of December when Xbox outsold the GC 2:1, so all the other months of the year don't count then.
Come on MS aren't you just clutching at straws in a bid to dampen the run away success of the Playstation2.

I've got broadband in the area, but it's a bit too expensive to be worthwhile at the moment.
Still, it's the future and I expect that a LOT more people will get it over the coming year or so.

Top Score sucks,
Top Score sucks,
He is like a hockey puck,
Because everyone wants to hit-him-in-the-face,
Or whack of his head with an iron mace.

Oh yay the TOp Score and Update are back from their 2 week love cruise in the Bahamas.
I guess they got tired of all the making love and willy touching and decided to come back to blighty to plague the forums with their biased, fanboy crap.
Here's a tip, when you 2 are making love next time, cover up the PS2 with a sheet maybe, it'll only get jealous otherwise.

He said people with access, not people using it!
It's more than 33% who have access to broadband internet...
I don't know of any cable providers either that haven't upgraded to digital...

I like the idea of cable - no aerial or dish needed, and the option of broadband. But fact remains that Cable networks in the UK are not common enough - not by a long way. The area's they cover are not big enough. I also know that some Cable dealers are very slow at updating their cable network to digital status.

Top Score must have already been smoking a whole load of something if he thinks he's making any sense.
Cripes!

This might "just" be true - but that just indicates where you can get the signal, not how many people are using it. There is a major town not that far away from me, and it now has broadband, but i bet only a handfull of people living there are using it.
