Bill Gates clearly said earlier today that the XBox will be shipped with a free drinks dispenser fitted into the machine, this is one of the many extra features that Europe are getting over their Japanese counter parts, these include:

The Drinks holder
'Made in Hungary' sticker
A bigger controller
Regional lock-out

These four features are the main reasons people all over the world should buy a European XBox and not a Japanese one.....

Bill Gates then released more information on the extra features:

The Drinks Holder - Te drinks holder is meant to magically pop out of the XBox when a certain button Bill Gates calls 'Open' is pressed.

'Made in Hungary' sticker - Bill Gates said that this is becuase the consoles are made in Hungary.However we believe this is most probably because Bill Gates does not have the guts to put a 'Made in Taiwan' Sticker on it.

A bigger controller - Bill Gates stated that he thinks Europeans have smaller hands. We would also like to point out that Europeans officially have smaller hands than the rest of the world according to a survey done by the 'HSA', the newest branch of the UN.

Regionl Lockout - Mr. Gates claims that he has implemented thsi VILE thing upon the users of the XBox because he has said that he would feel sorry of a person bought a game from Japan or America and then didn't understand the Japanese or American.

After he stated the information on the Regional Lockout we pointed out that English is the same thing as American. Bill Gates looked at us in a very confused way.

Lol - that's pretty good! What's great is that some people really do use CD drives as drink holders. I will proceed to laugh about that all day.

Heh. Heh.

With a drinks holder it'd definitley be more like an American machine! Definitley something for the average-joe who sits on his backside all day!

I wondered why the X-box was so big, but know I know. Cuz it can produce drinks, like a vending machine!!
