From the office of Dr. Pro Elitus III said:
A tale of shock. Another fool from the Game Stop Company causes flabergastation.
I had taken in an evening at the theater to partake in a performance from none other than Sir Christian Of Tucker and His Excellancy Ji Akii Xian, when the idea came unto me to pay a visit to my local retail establishment. I wished to learn if the new premimum electronic X-boxes with installed high definition multimedia interface had been released for purchase by the gentry. And here, gentlemen, is an account of this inquiry.
Dr. Pro Elitus III: Shopkeep! I wish to know if the Premium set with the high definition multimedia interface has yet been stocked.
Shopkeeper: My good sir, these boxes are known as 'Elites.' As always, this establishment stocks them yonder.
Dr. Pro Elitus III: Allow me to point to the box of preference. It is the X-box in the area here to which I am referring.
Shopkeeper: Sir, such a box has yet to enter into assembly!
Dr. Pro Elitus III: I have seen with mine own eyes photographic evidence of the box in question. The electronic Wide Web of The World displays it with much prominance.
Shopkeeper: I am afraid, SIR, that you have been misinformed by rogues of the Wide Web of The World. Indeed such trickery is often played about for amusement.
Dr. Pro Elitus III: I cannot believe this news stems from a source of truth!
Shopkeeper: Sir, allow me an explanation. Premiums are no longer in fashion. Elites shall take their place, and the lowliest of the lowly, the 'core,' shall be put to its final resting place.
Dr. Pro Elitus III: SURELY YOU JEST!
Shopkeeper: -out plans. In fact, at a later date, the hailed 'Ultimate' shall see its release, attracting the eye of all gentry in fashion.
Dr. Pro Elitus III: I know not of such a box. Explain this to me here AND NOW, WITH A GREAT HASTE.
Shopkeeper: Sir, I take it a gentleman of such standing already has knowledge of Sony Oriental Trading Company and their 'Blue-Raye' devices. This new product of the Microsoft Manufacturing Company shall compete, stocked with a high definition multimedia interface and a high-definition digital video disc drive!
Dr. Pro Elitus III: My fine shop keeper, do you mean to say the Microsoft Manufacturing Company shall manufacture high definition digital video discs for the purpose of entertaining?
Shopkeeper: Indeed! The Microsoft Manufacturing Company has an aim to engage the Sony Oriental Trading Company head-on!
Dr. Pro Elitus III: Surely they would do no such thing! Nine million bourgeoisie have made investments into the X-Box previously. The Microsoft Manufacturing Company would not dare bring upon them an insult of such high caliber.
Shopkeeper: Sir, let me give my personal assurance that these gentlemen remain in the good hand of the Microsoft Manufacturing Company.
Dr. Pro Elitus III: You must see that the product of discussion is unable to make use of high definition digital video discs!
Shopkeeper: It is simple, my good sir. The X-Box may be able to do so. It is a mechanism of limitless resource. Making an addition to it, making use of the 'Ultimate' and the heralded high definition digital video disc component results in a brilliance of higher definition! DO YOU SEE SIR?
It was at this moment that the shop keeper had rendered me speechless by his words. Did the fool truly believe the spew from his feeding hole?!
I recovered from my surprise and made upon him another inquiry.
Dr. Pro Elitus III: And do have a prediction to the outcome of the current battle? Who shall emerge victorious?
Shopkeeper: Sir, I am afraid the war has only but just begun. Blue-Raye and the high definition digital video disc are both of youthful and well-made stock.
Dr. Pro Elitus III: No, my inquiry pertains to the manufacturers of such fascinating electrical wonderment.
Shopkeeper: It is my prediction that the Microsoft Manufacturing Company shall be the victor! This I do believe.
Dr. Pro Elitus III: Do you not know of the 'Nintendo Wii?' The Sony Oriental Trading Company and the Microsoft Manufacturing Company both tremble before this giant from distant eastern lands!
Shopkeeper: Surely a point of good intention, sir, but you see, the Nintendo Wii exists within another plane of sale entirely!
Dr. Pro Elitus III: You mean to say it is a member of the new generation?
Shopkeeper: Indeed, sir, indeed!
Dr. Pro Elitus III: My good shopkeeper. I do thank you for your patience and words. It is time to depart and make the valuable information I have learned this eve known to the members of the New Age of The Gaming Forum!
Shopkeeper: Travel with care, kind sir. Be well in your endeavor!
AND THUS, Gentlemen, I conclude my findings on the future of the Microsoft Manufacturing Corporation and its next great production. The item shall see release in the forthcoming year of two-thousand and eight. The brilliance of high definition will finally be realized!
