You'd think those XBoxes were the last food rations on earth or something...

People can get so crazy over stupid things sometimes. ;(

Wait till the GW Expansion if they decide to go retail.. just change "Xbox" to "GW Expansion" :P

Then Anet would use the turmoil as a great advertising gimick (j/k no offense Anet )

Looks like they needed an earth ele with Ward Against Melee. Sorry.

The only reason why I don't buy consoles is because I spend so much time as it is on my PC. Also I can't get my head around FPS on those controllers.

OK, someone explain to me why the Xbox360 is so great it's worth starting a riot over. The GW expansion NOW that's something to start a riot over.

The rioting is probably instigated from parents whose children will love them forever for getting them an xbox360 for Christmas and frantic folks who know they can sell them for a profit on eBay.

Because Microsoft's greatest asset is their sychophantic roster of people who want to be entertained, educated, and kept in the NOW, without knowing anything about how things work. You see, when it works, they don't have to think. When it does NOT work, someone else will think for them, via windows catalog...

Sorry if this was unclear, just substitute "Xbox 360" for "Ecto" and "$" for "g," and it should make WAY more sense.

Indeed.

I always thought it was funny that Microsoft thought of using the number 360.

Okay everyone knows that doing a 360 is a complete circle. Finish where you started off..
So that means it's not new... or different. It's the EXACT SAME POSITION.

Okie Dokie... Now let's look at the Xbox 1 and now the "360" Very different I must say... I would say they did a 180!

180 degrees means a complete backwards/turn around. An OPPOSITE of the original position one would be in..

Xbox 180 vs. Xbox 360. Well eveyone would go for the 360 because it's a bigger number even though the mass wouldn't know what the hell is in it.

I just laugh everytime I look at a "360" because of dumbness of the advertising, plus the fact it came from Microsoft even though the system looks like... Hmn.. an Apple/Mac Computer.
