Before I get started, the boys over at Channel Z have their Dragon*Con video podcast (I still don’t know what the difference between “online video” and “video podcast” is), which includes GGP's very own resident jerk; me.  Check their Sept 20th 2009 update (or be lazy and click this word: Fig Apples) if you want to see me shamelessly promote this website and attempt to choke myself with a PS2 controller (or was it the NES controller?) after a few pages of horrible anime fanfiction.  You’ll probably want to see that later on, if you don’t already.

About a week ago, GGP staffer Chris Deguzman thought it'd be cute to do a small write-up on his experiences with an Xbox 360 he managed to snag.  Not only did I give it the "go ahead", but I had asked him to post it here after posting the same rant almost verbatim elsewhere.  Honestly, I've only heard one complaint, and it was from someone who also owned both a PlayStation 3 and 360 who preferred Microsoft’s console.  And I won't deny that I've been critical of Microsoft and some of their business practices.  I asked Chris to have the piece here (again, it was an opinion piece), not because I agreed with it, but because of where he was coming from.  Before, this was a guy that wasn't playing favorites, and didn't have a strong opinion of the 360.  It wasn't until he got a deal on one that he was absolutely flabbergasted with the lack of quality of the system.  He was more brutal than I could ever bring myself to be.
