You go tell them Grix!
Lets clear a few things up here.
*Steps to the front, and stands on a chair*
Firstly, the X-Box is delayed. You should know that by now.
Secondly, the rumours of the Gamecube delay are false. The Gamecube is still easy to program for ACCORDING to the developers who have already recieved the dev kits. I.E. EA sports, Lucasarts, and so on.
So the Gamecube is still on track to be released next Christmas.
I'm a bit happy, and a bit sad that the X-Box has been delayed. Happy for Nintendo having a bit happier launch, and sad that we won't be seeing what the X-Box is capable of for a bit longer in the UK.
It seems Microsoft are trying to make sure that they don't "pull a Sony" by making sure that there are enough X-Boxs on release... : )

And the launch slip is official - it's now on many game and DVD sites.
Okay, well how about this one... from http://www.dvdtimes.org.uk/

In an interesting move, Microsoft have officially confirmed that their forthcoming games console, the X-Box, will not be able to play DVDs straight from the box. This is despite the machine featuring a DVD-ROM drive as standard.
In a stunning act of what can only be described as sheer money grabbing, the X-Box will only playback DVDs once you've shelled out for an additional pack including CineMaster playback software and a remote control.
In their press release, Microsoft claim that this is because the PS2's DVD functionality, "...received poor marks [because] of its awkward controls..." and that the route the X-Box has adopted will mean that Microsoft will, "...make it work for people who want that functionality...".
So there you have it, the X-Box will be crippled from the word go, a move that will surely upset a large number of people, and give Sony something to have a good old grin about.
