That's the first rule of business, not the first rule of oversized corporate mentality.

In a similar thing, I went to Halfords today and got a really annoying salesman bug the crap out of me, so I walked out after throwing my basket of crap on the floor and went to a car audio specialist who was polite, friendly and slightly cheaper.

Last console I bought was a Mega Drive and that was about 3 years ago.

Gates marketing off course

Looks like Bill Gates is again exceeding himself in putting corporate greed over the needs of his customers.

There has been no new X Box 360 titles released for the last 3 months , apart from a few that were due to be released earlier but overshot the release date. NBA2 K7

Looks like Gates is planning to release all new titles around Xmas when the Sony PS3 is being released. As the PS3 is going to be very expensive (circa 100 US$ plus per game) and about 600 US$ for the console dont see too many people rushing to get this anyway. But Gates is hoping that people will instead buy more X Box 360 games and not have enough left to buy the PS3.

Twat! Leaves me with a X Box 360 and no new games , the fact that its virtually not backward compatable with old X Box as well makes this product the most useless games console since the Gameboy Advance.
