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.

And they wonder why they're not liked!

Still, it's not really as if Sony need to fight back is it? They just let the sales do the talking.

Still, like a drowning man, MS will never give up, even though the tide shows no signs of turning.

But it does.... even though you need the £20 DVD playback kit the Xbox is £10 less anyway, and if you buy sony's DVD remote it just gves you a load of largely useless features.

Xbox does RGB playback without the need for any mods or discs, and PS" will not.

Yeah, it's an obvious dig at Sony, but who really cares ? I was reading in the US Electronic Gaming mag that for the launch of Xbox Live MS sent all the journalists attending a PS2 online kit, containing a "communicator" (two cans attached by a piece of string), a "online adaptor" (empty card box) and a few other saracastic bits I can't remember.
