Post Micrsoft is getting into the arcade business

It seems that Microsoft is taking their Xbox to the arcardes.

What makes this news more interesting is the project is named, "Chihiro" after heroine in the anime movie, Spirited Away

This would be nice: Microsoft designed cars with XBOX gaming and MS programmed AI.

The future is MS?

Who cares who's making the hardware as long as we are able to see good quality sega games in the arcade, right?

But IIRC you weren't responsible of the flames toward MS... I used to be that kind of guy but I stopped being biased toward them since 5-6 months...

I wasn't responsible?

Don't you remember the avatar of the year 2002? Don't you know why the latest console war thread was closed?

You were involved in the fight but you weren't the one who started the flames...
As for the avatar I didn't find it flaming I found it to be funny.
In any case your attitude wasn't something that I found unbearable... it isn't what I'd call pure Bias mainly because you are NOT a fanboy...
