Welcome to this incredibly SPECIAL EDITION of March?s Newsletter. Why is it special? Because for the first time in months, the Newsletter is being posted in time (so yes, less whining over msn).
Moving on (did I mention the Newsletter is being posted in time?), we have another fantastic Newsletter all ready for you. I know, I know, what a thrill, but please calm down. Since it has became a habit, this month we have with us imaloony8.0 and DeadWing, who started last month. DW, we?re pretty happy with your work, looking forward for the next edition. Once more, our Chief and Editor is inactive, so replacing him we have tbug2007.
On to the Newsletter itself, we have the usual Articles plus a very special and waited article by Daecu: Console Wars. Besides that, we?ll have the MOTM Article and AN EPIC INTERVIEW =D

[b][center] Console Wars [/b]
This generations consoles have exceeded everyone?s expectations in all fields and they have produced staggering profits, some shocking, so expected. Sony?s Playstation 3 has produced unexpectedly small profits, costing the company billions of dollars. Microsoft?s Xbox 360 has produced high profits and is host to many great games. Nintendo?s Wii has popped out huge sales topped only by their hand-held gaming system, the Nintendo DS.
Sony?s Playstation 3?s hardware pushes the limit of what all gamers have come to expect from a console. With amazing games, astounding graphics, and online-capability, the only thing preventing huge sales are staggering prices, ranging from $300 to $600. Many would argue that the PS3 is the greatest console to date, and there are many reasons for this. After having best-selling games like Heavenly Sword, Metal Gear Solid 4, Little Big Planet, and more great games on the way like God Of War 3, it might deserve the title of Best Console.
Microsoft?s Xbox 360 is one of the best selling consoles to-date, and with multiple best-sellers like Halo 3, Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Call Of Duty: World At War, Gear of War 2, Skate 2, and many others, it has fulfilled gamer?s wildest dreams since the day it came out. With Xbox Live allowing gamers around the world to unite in the act of shooting, blowing up, defeating, and mauling, Microsoft has provided gamers with the best online-capability in a console. With prices starting moderately high, and being lowered to $250 not too long ago, the Xbox 360 avoids some major problems that have faced the PS3. Will Microsoft?s blow-out gaming system win the title of Best Console? Stick around to find out.
Nintendo?s Wii has produced a record number of sales, being the best-selling game console of this generation. With many people standing in lines at 2:00 AM waiting to get one of the 6 or 7 Wii?s a store receives, no one can argue that people don?t want the Wii. Though Nintendo has been extremely lacking on good games, they have produced games that remain in the top 5 best-selling list for months at a time. Wii Play, which was released in February 2007, has never left the top 10. Other games like Super Smash Brothers Brawl, Mario Kart Wii, and Wii Fit have also remained in the top 5 or 10 for months on end. Despite the success of games like these, Nintendo has released an astounding number of third-party games which do absolutely nothing except for take up space on shelves. Many could argue that the Nintendo Wii is the Best Console, and many could not.
In conclusion, I have realized that a console can not be named the Best Console, since they are all unique in their own, special ways. Sorry for the cliff-hanger, but to attempt to satisfy some of you, I have interviewed random people from various websites. These include Supercheats, deviantART, and PlanetRenders.
killeroblivion on deviantART says:
Nintendo Wii
The possibilities are HUGE with the whole wireless pointer controller. Without a doubt a revolution in game-play. Also I want a console to play games on it and not to watch movies or whatever, I've got a computer for all that.
Vasco on Supercheats says:
You're talking to a Sony fanboy, Mod of General PS3 and PS2, so of course, I vote PlayStation :P
Qwertyuio on Supercheats says:
I vote for Xbox360. Best online by far, biggest community, best software.
My apologies go to Taylor/T bug for not including you vote. You didn't reply on time. [/center]

Member of the Month
Here we are again...Probably the most waited Article of the month. Once more, we didn?t receive any suggestions at all, so this afternoon I had to talk to Filip about this special seat. We both agreed on one person.
To prove we?re all wrong, and that even Pokemon fans are not spammers (Tank aside) but good contributors to side, I give you this month?s MOTM:
PICKACHUOWNS1!11
Congratulations to Pika?.
No, but really, did anyone fall for that? ;]
The one and only, March?s MOTM will be?
DemonOfSand
Congratulations DOS, and thank you for all the help you?ve been providing, make us proud~

Article by Vasco
[center]Pixel?euphoria?
No, not a mention to that famous site (orly?), but a game we?re bringing back. In the old Newsletters, this game consisted of finding ONE hidden pixel everywhere on the site.
The pixel shall be hidden by one of the Newsletter Staff Team. We won?t mention who did it , so even the other members can look for it. The pixel will be in the middle of an avatar, signature or even text, and it will stand out by not being part of the original piece (something that should be fairly easy to notice).
Here are two examples:
To make it easier, this month?s Pixel will be hidden IN AN IMAGE. Look for it at a place we posted an image in the past month, don't worry, won't be too random... :P
You have to post a link to it, or post a screenshot. The winner will receive an award, probably a signature by myself.
Good luck to all~

Sorry about the little typos guys, and thanks for mentioning them. I didn't have time to fix everything yesterday... Well, everything fixed, and hatershateme added. As for the interview link, YOU gave me the wrong one qwert. You gave me the one to access the main files, this is the correct one xD.
As for the MOTM votes, sorry guys, but yours were not taken in consideration as they were sent too late. Thanks anyway, hope to see all those votes next month too.
As for the hidden pixel, here is the hint: It was posted on some General Board...
. So yes, all your guesses were wrong. Look for something that stands out, like some pink dot into a black and white signature, don't go in such detail.
And thank you all, of course
