(ZDNet.com, Quoted) "Less than a week after Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer told visitors to the massive CeBIT exhibition in Germany that he wanted to see a warmer, friendlier Microsoft, his company has become embroiled in a row with Sony over gaming consoles."
"Microsoft complained to the show organizers, Hannover Messe AG, that Sony was breaching show rules by letting people play on Sony PlayStation 2 game consoles. Technically, this was right and the Messe was forced to act on the complaint."
"Microsoft officials denied that the company had complained to the Messe. But the show organizers confirmed that Richard Roy, vice president, corporate strategy, had complained. ...
Microsoft has been busy showing the Xbox on its stand with employees demonstrating its console.

Short Comment- Wired.com on "Bang The Machine", Additional footage at Shoryuken.com |

"Bang the machine" - the documentary film about Capcom Fighter game players in the States, is apparently gaining a lot of popularity. I didn't notice that Wired.com had an article up since the same day Shoryuken.com posted up their first two footages. Here's an excerpt from their article.
"For some, video games are more than entertainment. They are sport.
Every few weeks, the country's best players gather in California, Chicago and New York hoping to capture tournament championships and the respect of their peers.
Good players can make as much as $1,000 per tournament, clearly not a living wage but evidence that these players aren't in it for the money. Alex Valle, the best Street Fighter player in the United States and maybe the world, is a janitor in Orange County.
But if the money is lacking, celebrity and respect in this sub-culture are very much a part of the experience. And the lure of competition is transforming the very social structure that kids have traditionally had.
More and more, kids are turning to video games -- and not traditional sports such as football and basketball -- as their primary source of interactions.
The emerging phenomenon was captured in Bang the Machine, a documentary film that follows the creation of the U.S. Street Fighter II team, which traveled to Japan to battle for international respect in 2000." |
The article gets more interesting as it follows on to the second page. For Wired.com's full article, check

[ Link ] has just added two more additional clips in their site yesterday, so check it out if you're interested. I wish I was at the festival to see the full presentation, looks interesting. -H. Moriarty
