Well, the post that our banned friend Fantasywave presented us (the one about PS2 online vs. Xbox) was not thought up by him.

It turns out it's actually from the official XBox web-site right here.

To say I'm extremely disappointed to see M$ do something like this would be an understatement. M$ are insulting the choices I have made as a gamer, and insulting my intelligence. This is just yet another example of the advertising practice M$ adopts.

The XBox appears to be a decent machine - but advertising like this does nothing other than to put me off giving M$ any of my money.

It saddens me to see this - I don't recall Nintendo ever bashing their competitors, or potential customers, like Microsoft have.
