It came out of IGN's mailbag, so don't expect it to really happen...

Thats what i was reading, so yeah, its just a rumour, but what can you do, i just think that would be the ultimate "alliance" so to speak, and would imo deter people from buying ps3.

not gonna happen, and even if it did, i dont think it would be very cool, for one thing wed have to start paying alot more money for our systems, nintendo has come too far to stop now for a quick little deal, especially if theyre still making money. As for microsoft, im not even entirely sure they'd stay in the video game sector after losing all that money, besides, theyre being ignored out of the USA sales-wise.

not quite. The xBox is doing rather well in Europe. Getting close to sales of the PS2 (compared to GC). It's still unlikely to happen though.

the xbox isn't doing half bad, in face its going to be doing a lot better, games taht are coming out for it exclusively are gonna blow GC outta the water (Halo 2 for example).

lol, Xbox is getting destroyed in Japan, but it's winning by a small Margin in the US and Euro...

Stupid Japanese won't buy US made consoles even if it's BETTER than the one made by Nintendo

I mean really, sometimes I forget that people actually are this stupid.

Here's a good way to mention them in the same sentence.

I own both an xbox and a gamecube.

Drift Away

Day after day I'm more confused
But I look for the light through the pourin' rain
You know, that's a game, that I hate to loose
I'm feelin' the strain, ain't it a shame

Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

Beginin' to think, that I'm wastin' time
And I don't understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
I'm countin' on you to carry me through

And when my mind is free
You know your melody can move me
And when I'm feelin' blue
The guitars come through to soothe me

Thanks for the joy you've given me
I want you to know I believe in your song
And rhythm, and rhyme, and harmony
You helped me along, you're makin' me strong


Now, by all means continue the flames.
