It'd be funnier if their first console wasn't named "XBox"

They're moving through the symbols.
X-Box.
X-Box 360.
X-Box 540. ;)

I get the joke, but don't see why it's funny.  I mean, it's like what the Pastafarians do, relating the loss of pirates to global warming (albeit they're doing it to make fun of the people who are serious about these things).

If you have no clue what I am trying to say, that's perfectly alright.  I only half understood those sentences.

It's taking the piss out of Sony fanboys. Notably the "emotion engine is the bestest thing ever!!!!oneeleven" ones I suspect.
Bit old now really, although there's still the same ones out there who claim the same for the Cell chip.
Please note, I'm not saying the cell chip is bad, just that you choose different components for different tasks and claiming the cell chip is the be-all and end-all of CPUs is the same as saying the x86 chip is, when in reality the x86 chip actually has pretty naff underlying architecture in many ways. (think I covered myself from any raving SonyBoys there? ;))

Hey, the link between loss of pirates and global warming is awesome. Although I do agree this pic isn't all that awesome.

There are so many things wrong with this
My username is supposed to be Trooth, but for some crazy reason I'm not allowed a name with "root" in it.
