It has been reported that Bill Gates, CEO of Microsoft Corporation Worldwide has purchased a brand new Sony PlayStation 3 60GB. Despite him owning the company that fronts the PS3's main opposition, the xBox 360, He has purchased one in favour of his Xbox unit.

Gates stated: "The PS3 has real potential in games console market, and has home media centre capabilites which excel those of my company's Xbox 360. Internet browser functionality, a 60GB HDD Blu-Ray DVD CD Drive and flash card slots all in one package make it a lot more practical and aestetically pleasing than the 360.

"I have also purchased a copy of Motorstorm, Resistance: Fall of Man and Black Hawk Down on Blu-Ray movie disc (holds up case of Black Hawk Down BD Movie).

"To sum up I would like to say that PS3 will be the technology to aspire to in this generation of home entertainment. Sadly enough, the PS3 is not my company's machine, but Microsoft will be doing its best to reach the kind of power that the PS3 displays."

This sudden change of heart has shocked the gaming community to the very core. Most people are asking the question 'why?'. Obviously, the PS3 fanboys out there are thinking to themselves, "it's about time".

What is Bill Gates on? Or is this another one of his master plans? Kill it with kindness. :P

Wait, someone by the name of "Hilton" wrote this article? Pass! ;)

You cite this crap from "The Spoof?"

Please...

In their science and technology section they have an article reading:

FDA Approves Pill to Give Men Monthly Periods

so don't try to pass this thread off as fact or news.

Guys ignore the stuff on the bottom of the article. My dad works at Microsoft and is friends with Bill Gates and he said that Bill enjoys his PS3 very much.

His 360 is probably in for repairs and he wants to play a system that won't break or scratch his disks.

Fake story, obviously.

But he probably does have one and I think it would be somewhat stupid for him not to.

Did you just use the spoof as a resource, the website responsible for the story about Microsoft buying evil from Satan? Actually nevermind, that one gave them some credibility. ;)

this is pure BS and a very bad joke. am i really suppose to believe news that comes from a joke site? hey TC, how about next time you use the Daily Show or The Colbert Report as your source.
