More Bad Buzz for the 360

As though Microsoft wasn't unpopular enough. Makes you wonder whether Bill Gates is on some sort of weird crusade to make everyone on earth hate him.

It's pretty simple - when you own a business and promise to have a product out at a certain (celebrated and advertised) date, you have the product available. This is bad business and could backfire if these customers decide to go with another gaming console instead of waiting for Microsoft.

You no doubt know more about the xbox than I, But I do have a stock that I own that went nuts to the upside on the basis that there is a shortage of the $400 360 xbox and that the $300 xbox is not very well liked. On Ebay, they auctioned off some of the first ones sold and due to the shortage got $660 for it. I hope you're wrong about this game machine because if you're right, my stock will sink like a rock.

According to Tim Buckly, the artist/author of a popular gaming webcomic (Popular enough that it generates enough income that he doesn't have to have a real job. In essence, his job is playing video games.) it's a thing of beauty. Jerry Holkins and Mike Krhulik, more author/artists are in agreement. While it's still too early to tell, as the hype hasn't yet subsided, it looks good. The system itself is solid, but the lineup will determine how well it does. Coming out with a pair of sequals to two of the most popular shooters of all time is a good start, but time will tell if we'll end up with a system worth buying, or a waste of time.
