you all know the hassle microsoft is in at the courts, having to do with a monopoly. you think they want to compete fair with nintendo and sony? #### no, they want to murder, kill, and maim the competition and rake in all the profits. they are a cutthroat company, and bill gates is just looking to expand his assests. i've heard more than enough reports about microsoft hassling video game retailers, and this is obscene. microsoft is a newcomer in the industry and should play by the rules, not make them. if i had it my way, microsoft would stick to what their good at (pc gaming), and get the #### away from our peaceful, freedom-to-choose-no-monopoly gaming industry.
