Microsoft and Xbox have reached a new LOW!

[boomerfoxtrot]

ok, so what's wrong with that??!?!?!?

[MantisMag]

yeah people are making too big of a deal out of this. it's just a body pillow with a picture. true some people do abuse their body pillows but that says more about the people than the object itself. the doa fighting game and volleyball are the only popular games for the xbox in japan. some of those people are obsessive. why wouldn't microsoft cater to them? there's even real bikinis based off of the bikinis in the game. i think they sell for several hundred dollars if i remember correctly.

I want a Blue Xbox... Its about time they started making them in colors. So how long is it going to take to sell colored xboxs in the U.S.? 3 years? lol, But that kind of stuff only happens in Japan. If it happened here, It would be on the news, the newspapers, Then ther would be like Prop 155 to ban them lol

After seeing some of the stuff you do... Dont want to risk it I'll probably just buy a Skin for it, its like a sticker thing but covers the whole thing. And maybe a light up kit thing

The reason I like the xbox is because the controller fits my hands better than any PS2 or Gamecube controller. Sorry for you guys out there with tiny little hands. The button lay out of the Gamecube is completely attrocious.

I tend to think that the Japanese society(this is not meant to be slanderous at all) is more "metrosexual" than American's. This would lead them to perfer more "kiddy" games like Mario Kart, Zelda(not the sweet one for N64, the new one with the little kid as Link), Star Fox(the RPG-ish game), ect. They aren't as violent, bloody, and realistic which is what most xbox games are like; which caters toward American society. The Gamecube is designed to appeal to kids from as young as you can think to the early/mid teens. Xbox is designed to appeal to 18 to 25 year olds and up.

Yes because all Chinese and Japanese people are the same, and Japs is the prefered term to use.

Now granted, this is offtopic and I'm sure dinger isn't a racist, but crap like this just gets to me. He may not have intended harm, but sometimes is about changing the way people think. The term Japs is similar to using the term Nigger for black people. And saying Chinese and Japanese people are the same is like calling an Irishman English.

With that being said, I don't care too much for discussion, just providing some food for thought.

I agree, except I think dinger is racist.

Oh, I read the article. I'm more interested in the controllers than the bonus gift. I have girl, what would I need with one of those pillows?

Well japanese people where to begin. hate to be mean to any of our Asian friends (I love asians to be honest) After that nuclear bomb hit them, they havent been quite rite. I mean after all they still own american in tech. But i want a blue xbox too. or maybe a cut case with those case lites in them

::IDEA:: Cut out the X emblem and hten just put lites inside!

The Xbox controllers do suck.

It's pretty easy to paint your xbox even if you have never done anything similar, voids the warranty though.

Are you talking about the original one that were huge? Or are you talking about the S Controller?

Hate to be the n00b, but i think the old controllers rock. the new japanese ones suck, the triggers are less pully, they just are on a swing and when they reach a certain point they fire, same with the buttons kinda. IDK i thin kthe old one had fantastic configuration and precision
