Everyone always comments on the XBOX's size. Everyone comments on the XBOX's controller size. And im sure there just as sick as hearing "Halo, Halo, Hard Drive, Halo, Power..." But I have something to say to them. Imaging the situation - its late at night, your all alone in bed, and all of a sudden, a stranger smashes through your window with a knife! What to do?

Situation A: You have a game Cube, and its next to you on your desk by your bed - You grab it by its handy dandy handle, swing it around it a bit as if it was a hand bag, then with a gentle "Poof" action you tap it on you enemies head. He is not hurt, or amused by your purple gaming purse, and puts the knife to your neck - you reach out for your controller to try and use the cord to strangle him, but its a "Wavebird"...tough luck mate...The normal corded one cannot be found, but anyways, it would have snapped like a babies toy...

Situation B: You have a PS2 and its next to you on your desk by your bed - You jump up and go to grab it, but a collection of useless addons are in the way and plugged in all over the place (The hard drive, online port, multi tap...) and as you carefully unplug the monstrous and elaborately large controller connectors, you are to late - never mind...Even if you could get it out, its full of hollow holes so its no where near heavy enough to knock your opponent out...

Situation X: You have an XBOX and its next to you on your desk by your bed - You jump up, and pull it from the wall, the very clever controller "Inline releases" let the controllers pop out with no fuss, and you smash your faithful XBOX over the bad guys head - he gets dazed, so you hit him again. He passes out in a pool of blood, and the sturdy XBOX is in tack. You then get the controllers and use the extra long green and strong leads to tie him up on the floor, and shove another controller in his mouth, with an S Controller up his rectum. All is well.

I hope that shut up some purple, handled GC owners and some "We will get an addon soon..." PS2 fan boys...



p.s. This is a fun feature - don't take it seriously, I love all 3 consoles, but I think people shrug of the XBOX purely because of its size, which isn't fair...it has some great games you know!

GAD still exists, but it's only for the best review each day.

I didnotknow that. But it would have been better to post it in the PS2 forum, not only would it be more effective, but watching fanboys try and come up with adaquate(sp?) comebacks would be highly amusing.

If you had looked on the other side of your bed, instead of te side which you keep your console, you would of found a shotgun. Statistically(SP?)a shotgun proves better protection than an xbox or other console.

Oh, you here keeps their console on their bedside table?

Also, what if you had a freebird for your xbox???

And if the xbox is heavy enough to knock someone out, is it heavy enough to pick up?

Oh, and you're contradicting yourself when you say that you say that this will shut up thos PS2 fanboys.

1. You are clearly a fanboy. When you said you loved all consoles, that was complete crap, obviously. If you were trying to shut up GC and PS2 fans, you would not have posted this in the xbox forum because fanboys don't go into "rival" forums.

2. You said that would shut them up, i think you need to shut up. You're moaning about other fanboy comments, this will provoke them, and make them say those things.
