Micrsoft is getting into the arcade business

RZetlin · March 5th, 2003

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

If it's profitable... we are talking about MS in here

Syed Fawad · March 6th, 2003

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?

Kaiser Sigma · March 7th, 2003

That's the point, surprisingly we don't see much hatred toward MS on the boards lately...

**OK-OK** · March 7th, 2003

Here's something.. M...S... SUCKS!

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...

Syed Fawad · March 7th, 2003

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?

Kaiser Sigma · March 7th, 2003

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...

Syed Fawad · March 7th, 2003

I still can't find my single reason to like XBOX
