Do any of you own an Xbox?

Do you own a PS2?

Which do you prefer? And why?

And what is the Xbox scene like in Japan?

I might even spring for a PS3.

If I can negotiate with management on a fair proposition, hopefully she'll say yes to labor's request.

Sony: Playstation 3 will be released this year
Techfocus Mar 12 2003 0:28AM via Bloomberg
Sony Corp., the world's second- largest consumer-electronics maker, will introduce the PlayStation 3 video-game console this year, two years ahead of schedule, to widen its lead over rivals, the Commercial Times said, citing unidentified people at Taiwanese parts suppliers.

SONY denies PS3 early release rumor

:P and I was really hoping for this one.

Dang, you're right---I just called Sony R&D and they laughed at me that I must be slacking in my Slashdot reading. :oops:

Yeah,
Whoever leaked that was an arse.. got the hopes up then dashed away by the truth..

PS3 will be out next year... ATI will make the graphics core, ASUS will make the main board and the rest including final assembly will be done by Hon Hai!!!

I KNOW :wink:

The Xbox hasn't done well in Japan, and my friend has a theory as to why this is.....

The PS2 has all the grade sybols all over the device. O X triangle, and square

the Xbox just has a big BATSU on it..... which says a lot about marketing to Japanese sensibilities.

Maybe if they called it a Circlebox, it may have done better.

How about calling it 'SmillieBox' or 'High School Girl Soiled Panty Box' Hmmm too long maybe :lol:

By the way, on a serious note, do any of you guys know where I can get hold of an English Windows XP SP1 CD in Japan?
