Don't get to disturbed by the title because, thankfully it's only a rumour, but if it turns out to be true, well it's pretty bad news *cries*

Oh no, people like newbies, it's just if you've got a red name, you've automatically got a bad reputation on these forums. Shame, really.
People didnt like me?
Stop kidding man.
I know your joking.
Maverick you sure no one likes me.
You kidder you.
No really didnt they like me.

Lol, for some reason you always gain a bad name as a newbie. That's why I changed my name as soon as I became a regular. People are probably treating you that way because of you undeserved newbie reputation, but it won't happen so much now that you've changed your name.
Recently, there's been a lot of console wars and it's been getting me a bit worked up. I've been forgetting to flower up my responses so no-one gets offended, and just giving my opinion - hard and cold. Usually when I'm not in the middle of a verbal battle with someone like ~Resurrection~ I'm a bit more tactful.

Yeah i get you, and i suppose i wrote it wrong.
What i meant was that you didnt used to be so... straight.
You used to say your opnion and then cover up so noone could say you were unfair to Xbox and ps2.
I wish i was a bit more like it but when i do something someone always goes...fanboy.

A biased person would slate the X-Box at every possible oppurtunity, which I do not do. I accept that other people's opinions differ from mine - it's life. I'll still praise the X-Box and knock the GameCube, but when the time comes, I won't be afraid to tell someone that GameCube's my favourite console and why.
You get my meaning? I hope so.

It's not that I'm biased, this is just my opinion, and over the past few weeks I've realised I'm entitled to say that. In my honest opinion, I think the best two consoles to own are the PS2 and GameCube as there's very few titles on X-Box that aren't on both of them. I'm happy with my PS2 and GameCube and I don't like enough games on the X-Box to make me purchase one. That's why the GameCube's the best choice.

MICROSOFT RARE "RUMOUR" SOLIDIFIES
We don't know about you lot, but we just love the smell of gossip in the morning: head in for the latest round of scuttlebutt
14:41 Glorious. Just as you think things are getting dull, the entire British games industry suddenly reckons that Microsoft is on the verge of buying British super-developer Rare, the company behind such classics as Banjo-Kazooie and GoldenEye. If you listen carefully, you can actually hear us stiffening. Perfect Dark on Xbox? Read on for fun.
As we reported earlier this week, rumours of Microsoft in talks with the company is nothing new. What is fresh is that first- and third-party sources alike are now claiming a deal is close to completion.
"From what we know the talk of the deal actually being signed isn't true, but first-party sources have told us that both parties are currently in the process of finalising," said a senior publishing source this morning.
"From people we know within Rare, we know that various different companies have turned up and had a good look at the place, the most serious one being Microsoft," added a senior third-party source close to the Twycross-based developer. "We have no idea whether or not this is going ahead, but on a personal level it wouldn't surprise me in the least."
"I've been told it's MS, and I've been told there's a very good chance this is going to happen," added another high-level British developer.
Current talk is that the Stamper brothers, the guys behind the entire Rare saga, simply want to take the money and run. They currently own a controlling 51% of the company.
"They always said they were in it for the long term, but that's what you would say," said the first source, a major British gaming figure. "It's your company: you'd never, ever admit to wanting to leave it.
"On the one hand they've made an enormous amount of money over the past few years. They don't need any more money. On the other hand you'd be stupid to build a company up to that sort of size, as they have done, and then not try and collect the money on it. If you've got a company that's got a successful record, then there's obviously an optimum time for selling.
"I personally think Rare's past that, but there's still an awful lot of value in the Rare name. I'm sure Microsoft can be very persuasive."
Rumour of the deal being confirmed at X02 has been snubbed this morning, but there's no smoke without fire. Well, there is sometimes, but then who cares? We're taking bets now: who'll have a punt on Microsoft buying Rare at evens? Roll up...

See? Nothing to worry about. Just rumours.

Firstly, a GameCube is the right way to go. That way, you'll get the innovation of Nintendo and the most powerful console for £130.00, and secondly, Rare will go multi-format if anything. Developing exclusively for X-Box would be a poor business decision and not what they've been looking to do.
