grub's Journal: Microsoft to sell 10M xbox360s in first year...

Or at least that's what the story that just went live and disappeared said. Heck, I even got a mod'd first post! (the link even works, but pardon the terrible formatting)

So the story went live then was killed? Who is zonk and what's his problem? Did he drink the same Kool-Aid as Michael "Ahab" Sims?

EDIT: I see the story is back in the pool I wonder if comments will be maintained. I keep saying to myself "it's only slashdot, it's only slashdot" but the frustration of this place... It's like watching a short bus full of 'special kids' wearing helmets running into each other for 2 hours after which you see the soccer ball is untouched in the middle of the field.

EDIT #2:My apologies if I'm starting to sound like the_mad_poster His disdain must be rubbing off on me through his journal entries. ;)

Story as a whole exists

http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/06/21/ 1812225&tid=211 [slashdot.org] works for me. Just not mentioned anywhere on the homepage. Kinda like trolltalk.

Update to myself

The story is linked, in the games section, it's just not front page. Seems to be a genuine article, just pulled from the front page? Or has it been hurriedly edited? Anyway, your FP is safe (assuming noone above you gets modded up to take it, of course)
