Oh, snapping turtles, that’s what I call a bonafide jab from the Microsoft team.

Even so, their email dig at Sony is still liable to make and your buddies go:

 

At the end of the day, it’s good to know that the competitive nature between Microsoft and Sony is still good for a decent laugh.

    How does this make any sense? Ultimately you end up spending $900 for an Xbox One with $100 credit in the store?

    I have a TI 99/4a and a C64 i *might* be willing to part with. Even trades? Not that I would ever get an xbox, I’ve been with PS since they were grey.

    So, a TI and a C64 for an xbox, even up. Ball’s in your court Microsoft.
