Well Microsoft is really trying to keep it under wraps that their Xbox 360 has an awful case of cancer. some of the more simple facts that prove this are as follows. one soon every disc you will be able to buy will be blu ray, no one is simply going to make anything else and if Microsoft wanted to do it themselves keeping the same amount of content we’re talking 30 discs. Which by the way breaches a Microsoft legal agreement that would cost millions. Two they have now lost every game production studio that was loyal to them so hello Halo3 on PS3, while Sony still has a very loyal game development list. And 3 the most obvious, when Microsoft is trying to “corner all Internet markets” Sony’s we’ll just give it to you for free theory will win every time. so they claim less lag better online games. but I’ll deal with a little lag on a free online world and think everything about it is still better. R.I.P Xbox

Today will be summer’s best holiday, with lots of families gathering for picnics or trips to the beach. We plan to hang out close to home and grill some steaks just before dark, then we’ll drive over to the lake and watch the free fireworks from the park. Too bad we can’t make this holiday a two day event - we should have the 4th and the 5th off. Lots of us need the 5th to get over the late night partying and hangovers from the night before!
