$500!!!??????? i think this guy has been misinformed. haha nd plus, every xbox game he mentioned will redefine its own genre. and saying the "hype-machine" will disappoint is just plain ludacris.

I've heard of people do that before. They register a domain hoping people will do a typo. There is a site out there which has a .com extension instead of a .gov extension of a famous US political site of the same name (not wanting to give the actual address of a porn/adult site).

Other companies register the typos themselves so they still get the visitors (I think Yahoo has yahooo.com or something like that).

As for that site, Gamecube only has heaps of exclusives due to them being Nintendo titles that have been around for ages... Xbox needs time to develop and gain more exclusives, just like when Sony was the new boy on the block.

Notice that all the exclusive Xbox titles the guy mentions are either launch or near launch titles? Whilst the PS2 and Gamecube lists of exclusives are games that came out/will come out waaay after the system. This guy didn't really do his research, 'cause just by looking at any Xbox fansite you can find heaps of good Xbox exclusives, like Fuzion Frenzy, Wiggles, and Munch's Exoddus, and Squeek's Oddysee, and Hand of Odd, and the rest of the Quintology...

i sent the guy an email and he told me that it was a flawed system. he told me that the processor was slower than dreamcasts. dan you believe that? i dont think that this dude knows his stuff. plus the games for xbox are all great. and a lot of the games he mentioned for ps2 and gamecube are coming to xbox anyway. like devil may cry for example. (thanks to steel shark for letting us know this.)

If he hates xbxo (doh! ) so much how come he chose it as his mispelled domain name? Why not GameQube?

Heh...I like this even if I don't agree with it:

:
Overuse of ":" exudes pretentiousness.
Of course, he then lists a bunch of PS2 games spattered with colons.

By the way, did anybody here start playing Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver and just get sick of not knowing where the hell the next mission objective was? I hope Blood Omen 2 isn't as pointless.

Bless, someone's actually paid to register a tupoed domain name to have a bang at Micro$oft...

Is it because of my warped sense of humour that I find that in a strange way hilarious? Or is it just bacause I have flu?

I think that that is hilarious as well! It's a very cunning way of taking the piss.
I sent the guy an e-mail saying 'nice one!' to show my support. He thanked me.
