Got another Xbox newsletter today. Scrolling through it, I was surprised to find this tucked away at the bottom:

"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!"

A lot better than "that other console"? Sounds like a dig at Sony to me.

(stop stating the obvious, Tom!)

Shut it. Anyway, so it seems Microsoft are into that stage again, picking fights at Sony. Seems strange that sony never fight back.

They forgot to give the email a subject title aswell, which was annoying.

That is all.

You may go.

But do you see sony making newsletters saying 'Oh, and our console has sold a lot more than those other two consoles' or Ninendo saying 'And out console is a lot smaller than that other monstrosity'?

The Xbox DVD player is actually quite superior to the PS2's attempt.

I thought the PS2 online kit was quite amusing aswell.

I have to admit that it was uncalled for, but isn't the newsletter for xbox owners and not ps2 only owners??

Is this another attempt at being funny by Microsoft?

It doesn't work.

They've been making jokes about Linux for years, then they employed a research team and found out it was massivley losing them popularity!

Arrogant idiots, they found out that the majority of people actually prefer open source coding, rather than crappy windows. Now they're praising it and saying how wonderful open source coding is, and that they're going to make their own..

Quite true. Especially in Japan. Where Microsoft are already six feet under. They try and perform a Buffy series six episode one and two....
