Breaking news on the Sony Playstation 4. A Sony Rep says it will actually be used to play games. While the main focus of the next generation of consoles has been on selling people more and more content and locking out features, an expert on the new platform says there is still room for gamers. "We're listening to our customers and hearing that they mainly just want to play games. We're seriously considering it for the Playstation 4."

...but they've done the bait and switch before. I'm sure Microsoft will say something similar before the launch of their console.

I already know what they are going to say: 't was a misunderstanding. We wanted to say we'll still support a second controller for another hand to join in the game"

I just checked the Wine AppDB. Perhaps it would be more appropriate in your future trolls to complain that Ubuntu actually can run Colonial Marines.

As if millions of gamers let out a collective sigh of relief.

I like the way this troll is slowly building in detail post by post. In a few months, it will be a proper mad rant. Try to remember not to use line/paragraph breaks.
