I don't know about you but the latest word from a certain news chanell is that the X-Box Scratches the disk when It is loading the disk.

Microsoft are said to be working hard to correct the problem.
Hopefully it should have dissapeared before thursday.

Fact is, Microsoft have received 234,000 complaints from US customers, whose living rooms have appeared 67% smaller since the terrible-purchase of the beast machine.

I seem to remember a similar rumour floating around before the PS2 launch in 200, which also turned out to be rubbish. Fact is, Microsoft haven't received a single complaint from anyone wishing to exchange their machine because of a scratched disc.

Hmm... if this was true, then it would be impossible for Microsoft to correct, because they are already in GAME in the storage warehouse. What Microsoft will do is release (at expense) something which covered it and would make more money.

HA!

In an unprecedented attempt for world domination, Bill Gates CEO of Microsoft today announced that he intends to make the BBC disappear.

In a statement from Gates, he said that ‘The technology is in place now for us to prove our worth as world leaders and every week I will be making major television companies vanish without a trace…starting with the pinnacle of broadcasting, the BBX’

The reasoning behind this move is unsure but inside sources revealed that Gates is said to be ‘whimpering like a girl’ that people have found out that his Xbox is indeed, crap. He figured the only way to stop people finding out about this is to ‘eliminate the media threat’ and fulfil his dream of ‘a giant black box of no worth propping up beds in every household in the world’.

The chairman of the BBC, Mr Mingus Quimlet said ‘Let that four eyed midget try his best’ but in a leaked document it has been revealed that he is in negotiations with Gates to try and get him to make Channel 5 disappear instead. The Labour Party has made a surprise donation to Apple Computers in order to hasten the negotiations.

On the Add.

Like Wipeout Fusion.

But I'd rather find out about a great bit of kit for myself than be told about a shoddy one.....

Yeah, stoopid! You would have thought that their advertising budget would have been better spent on the development of the machine....
