Uhm, read your posts in this thread mrstickball, hate to nudge this but it kinda seems like double standards in this particular case;

This thread is certainly as bad as that (of course, the point being here that the initial thread was not bad at all like me and a few others pointed out).

 

Mrstickball a hypocrite?!

Never!

Would you prefer that next time, I post a negative X360 article? I am not understanding your argument. I merely asked MikeB why the ONLY news he posted was anti-X360 news, and never once bothered posting in the X360 forum on any constructive article, unless it was to defend the PS3 in some sort of way, or bash the X360.

Also, you should note I posted this in the MICROSOFT forum. Not the SONY forum. I didn't post this to jab at Sony - unlike MikeB's post which was in the MS forum. Had I posted in the Sony forum, I would agree. But I didn't.

Not only this, I didn't interject my own view into the article. I was merely posting it as I didn't see it in the MS or Sony forums.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

So Mike B can't post in the MS forum?

Where was he supposed to post MS related news? Sony forum?

Not trying to attack you are anything, I just thought that made no sense. He posts about a kid sueing MS, you post about MS getting money from Sony.

Don't you mean Immersion?

"Microsoft gets $20.75 million From immersion"?

I mean, how did Sony pay MS?

And yes, fairly hypocritical, but whaddya expect?

Nevermind, scratch my last comment.

I like the idea of Sony paying Microsoft, it'll be some awesomely good ways to spin it when Financials for this quarter come out. Look!:

In the case of Microsoft posting a profit, but of less than 20.75 million dollars : "Basically, Sony was the only reason MS made a profit this quarter since they made less than the settlement they had with Immersion".

Or in the case of MS posting a loss: "Even with Sony's help, MS was unable to make a profit this quarter".

FUN!

And I agree. It WILL be interesting to see what happens when the $20m is assessed - regardless of who's side of the coin it lands on (MS not making a profit, or Sony not making a profit).

Euphoria - Look at MikeB's post history in the MS forum. It won't take you long to see why I was  questioning MikeB posting the article.
