LOL

Just read the xbox.com news letter, and I noticed a funny little comment at the bottom.

It reads

"Did you know?
A lot of people don't know that Xbox also plays DVDs... and a lot better than that other console. So go tell your friends and they too can have that amazing home cinema experience!"

"that OTHER console" hahaha, dirty tactics MS. You should hang your heads on shame at such a blatent low blow.

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, you know.

Although extreamly effective, only Edmund Blackadder know's how to use it to it's full potential.

was that sarasm as you can twist what you just said towards game cube to get 3 great games and a gamecube PLUS a memory card would set you over the £220 mark!

I know. It's bad enough paying £200 and only getting 3 great games and a reasonable racer without having to pay ANOTHER £20 to play DVD's, especially when you could get a DVD player to do the job for just £100+...

It's a great quality playback though, haven't tried DVDs on my PS2 but Xbox probably is better.
