My favourite is 2 lol its so true :D

10. Kameo is a kid's game:
Not true. It's got a T rating. You can impale baddies with the spikes on your own back. Impale!
9. Xbox 360 is being recalled:
There is no recall. Period. Return rates are actually lower than consumer electronics (CE) industry averages.
8. Microsoft is intentionally withholding product so as to build artificially high demand:
Seriously. Think of the revenue hit we'd take if we actually did that.
7. Halo 3 is finished, and just sitting in a warehouse somewhere (in Poughkeepsie):
See #8. Actually, come to think of it: we haven't announced anything about anything of which you claim we've announced or finished, as it were.
6. ____(insert name)___ is an alien/getting fired/fighting with _______ (Robbie Bach, Brian Lee, Peter Moore, J Allard, etc.):
Nope. Peter's my boss' boss' boss, and I just want to say, in case you're reading this: "you're great!"
5. Everyone at Xbox is evil (or a robot, or is money grubbing, etc.):
Dude - we're gamers. We're just trying to make a better games and entertainment than the other guy.
4. We stopped working on backwards compatibility:
Still going.
3. We chose Barbie’s Horse Adventure first, because we didn’t want PGR2 to be BackCompat:
Nope, some titles are just bonus because other titles work.
2. Sony will launch a broadband service better than Xbox Live:
A big, bold claim. Two words: Emotion Engine.
1. Bungie has no plans to take over the world:
Not true. Just look at their seven step plan.
 
Jokes like that are for after Sony lauunch their version - you never know they COULD pull it off


There are seriously bad things abotu Xbox live also, ( even though I am the first to admit its very good ) - most stupid thing is in PGR3 what the **** is the pooint of being able to go to XBox Live MID race - that is seriously annoying ( surely they should disable the key or something when race starts) ok now I admit thats just one game, not sure if it happens with any other but you get my drift

Thats without ever actually using LIve yet ( jsut about to move so couldnt be bothered to set it all up before packing it away)

Just my 2p worth

I am no Sony fanboy ( even though I am VERY interested in the PS3 - I just want them to step up to the mark adn hopefully surpass M$ in a few areas to make the market more interesting
 
What happens if you wish to see what your friends are doing or you have received an invite or a message and the button was disabled.. then you'd have to go the long way of quiting the race just to see if it's important.

Disabling the Guide button would just be stupid... pretty hard to press the button in mid race anyway when the buttons you need aren't near the Guide button
 
Well maybe my controller is set up wrong then ( i thought it was on standard set up) but its one of the SMALL buttons that seems to acitivate the left hand side (on the screen) "live" bar for me - cant remember what colour, but the left hand side small button of the four?

But if yur not on live - why would you want live messages? Just a thought - or at least have an option to disable it if you want to?
 
Lol, I could understand you changing view (hitting the left bar) but I really can't see how it's possible to hit the big XBox button by accident. The only times I've hit it by accident are when I've thrown the controller playing DOA4.
