I have an XBox anecdote. I was at the mall today, and saw an XBox "in the flesh" for the first time. It was in a game shop that had a sign on the window saying "Xbox In Stock Now" +/-. I thought I'd give the demo a try. It was apparently at the end of a game, with a virtual button saying "Continue" prominent on the screen, but I couldn't find anything on the control that would allow me to "click" on Continue, so instead I hit a big physical button in the middle of the display labeled "Reset." After a few moments, something came on the screen, but seemed to freeze. I waited a while, then hit "Reset" again. The next thing to appear was a screen, in about half a dozen languages, saying something like "Your XBox requires service." I left. True story. Charles Tutt (TM)
