Aw, that's really nice! I know the article is a bit late but I searched for a thread and couldn't find one.

[H11]

Because I'm not competent apparently, should be fixed now.

[QUOTE=milkandcooki;42909375]i'm sorry that microsoft didn't upload a 10000x10000 targa image with alpha transparency between each pixel[/QUOTE]

No before I fixed it it was huge and gross

they were talking about an older compressed image hosted from imgur. that makes sense tho cause compression absolutely kills flat-color designs like that

[ToXiCsoldier]

Reminds me of the firefox and internet explorer dev teams.

[GhostShoes]

something about that image, i know they're being sincere but i can't help but think it gives off a sarcastic tone.

I'm still waiting for a reply from Sony saying :"Good luck on yours!"

[woolio1]

I think this highlights a bit of a shift in the way the execs are looking at our "console wars"... They seem to acknowledge that it's all in good fun, rather than us actually hating the other side or those who use it.

So that makes us, and the execs... I guess the media's the only ones not getting that. Can someone tell them, before they run more "This console is better. QED." stories?

Well the cc'd people have already replied that.

[EmperorScorpious]

Friendly competition, d'aww

[Badunkadunk]

Seems kinda snarky considering all the negative ads Sony put out like the game sharing one back after E3.

They will probably release something when the console actually launches.

Kinda like the IE team and firefox team congratulate each other on launch.

this is literally what they want you to think.

[QUOTE=Sam Za Nemesis;42913080]Reminds me of this somehow when IBM launched the IBM PC, except more subtile

And then the IBM PC completely took the market over. I would be worried Microsoft.

The Firefox one looks nice but I personally dislike what the image and text are made out of (I don't know the name for it). It's just rubbery and doesn't taste good while the IE one looks like it's made out of actual cake and frosting. Just my take on cakes.

'fondant' I believe, it's just a thick basic frosting, sugar/water boiled down to a soft state then cooled

Are you implying that IE is messy? I really find that IE's appearance matches/is cleaner than Mozzilla. But I can't say the same about IE's code.

I bet they were shaking their heads when they put that message out there. "Fuck.....FUCK! Now what are we gonna do?!"
