Argh why does everyone say "Gates is trying to slam Sony", I don't think very much that Bill Gates creates eveything Microsoft related by himself!

But thats just my daily complaint, so anyways...

Theres a famous Football Rivalry in scotland known as the Old Firm, which is Glasgow Celtic (yey) Vs. Glasgow Rangers (boo), now these teams are always at the top of the league, they dominate every other team, but the teams themselves will never say anything bad about the other, in fact most of the players are friends, but it's the fans. The fans are always fighting, If your a celtic fan and you run into a a group of rangers supporters and they know who you are, you can expect, at the least, heavy iunsults, just because of your team. It goes into a whole lot of Religous reasons and a lot of other crap but I can't be bothered trying to explain.

But what I'm saying is that there is a lot of bad blood between Rangers and Celtic, and it's all the fans doings (the clubs will ban you from games if you show bad reactions to the other supporters).

It reminds me of all this, but Xbox is not acting like the clubs. If Xbox were dissing Sony on wide spread advertising constantly, It would annoy me, but that one site, I don't really care, Infact I think Live is better than the PS2's online service (Even though I cant get LIVE coz the crappy phone companies wont run Broadband in my street

)

But if you were a mega company, you'd want to flex your muscles of a little bit, so I can't blame them.
