For as sad as it is Tennessee fouled so much in the second half (though
some were BS) and can't hit their foul shots...my bracket got all four

Why is everybody saying the tournament sucks? Who cares who actually
wins... the games themselves have been GREAT! Don't get caught up in
the media's obsession with Cinderellas. Vanderbilt just showed that it
is every bit as good as Georgetown. Georgetown just got the last shot.
Doesn't take away from the game.... Same with all of the other close
games. --- Currently playing: God of War 2, Fable, Ultimate Spiderman, FFVI Advance |

Nah, the contest has been good so far -- we may not have gotten any
massive upsets...but that's typically what a seeded bracket is supposed
to prevent anyway. Sometimes March Madness is going to be like...well,
the 2k4 bracket. --- This is my main account, but I see all the cool people doing it...... HaRRicH |

Oh sure, I always love to have good games, and there have definitely
been some exciting games, but there's something about chalk outcomes
that makes things slightly less enjoyable. --- "Four of you have tried to kill me in the past. One of you succeeded." |

Apr's poll script has never run automatically to update new polls. He
has to kick it off manually, then it goes and adds the latest results
to that text file. And I'll take competitive, well-played games that go right down to the wire and happen to walk the chalk over sloppy upsets any day of the week. --- thengamer.com/xstats = lol x-stats Still smarting from the beatdown Rufus applied in the Guru Contest! |

Yeah...they would have been nice, ha. As a side-note, I'll win the Board 8 pool on Facebook if Ohio State wins it all. I don't really care for any other team left, so here's to hoping we see Ohio > Florida. --- This is my main account, but I see all the cool people doing it...... HaRRicH |

I'll give you that only 1 of the 4 Elite 8 games was very good. But
let's not forget that a Sweet Sixteen of the "best" teams provided 6 great games! And give UNLV another minute and they'd have turned that into 7/8. --- thengamer.com/xstats = lol x-stats Still smarting from the beatdown Rufus applied in the Guru Contest! |

And you still had a second round packed with great games with teams
that weren't the "best," too. Honestly, an underdog does make things
more exciting. I don't really know how anyone can deny that. --- "I never felt truly alive until I was staring death in the face." "I'll die...after I kill you." |

HM, I just saw this in a Gamespot comment and wanted you to confirm
this: is the PS3 selling faster than the 360 did for its first four
months? And, if so, because I know the 360 only shipped so many units,
how many units did Microsoft ship during that period? --- This is my main account, but I see all the cool people doing it...... HaRRicH |

I like this year's tournament a lot more than last year's. far more
interesting, better games, less sloppy play, and the talent level just
seems higher. I don't understand the idea of it being bad just because
the teams that are better win. yeah, I love watching a team suck so bad
that they lose to an unknown team! I love watching them jump around and
hump the floor! I love listening to the media call them heroes and
inspirational and who knows what else because they won a basketball
game! and then the best part is when they go up against another good
team and get destroyed by 30! woohoo! I likes me some upsets as well, and wish there would have been one lower seed that made a run, but can you remember a more awesome final four than this one? Hibbert vs. Oden? a repeat of last year's final? a possible Florida vs. Ohio State final? that's pretty damn awesome to me. --- xyzzy™ "You try anything funny, and my AMP will explode on you." - Luster Soldier |

how many units did Microsoft ship during that period? Unfortunately, I don't have the sales archived from November 2005 - February 2006 to compare. I know the PS3 has sold ~1 million units in America alone so far (as of February 2006), which is damn good for them. Microsoft probably hit a little under considering they had a shortage until about April 2006 (5 months). The PS3 isn't experiencing any sort of shortage, for the record. --- An infinite world.
