Double Trouble: Boycott fallout and how NOT to buy a PS3

Today's Double Trouble is brought to you by our friends at Destructoid. The same Destructoid who revealed to us the fallout of the reviews of Modern Warfare 2. For those of you who want to see the original article, take alook at the Works Cited below. Now that we have that out of the way, let's begin Double Trouble.

First off, you are all aware that there is a boycott going on around Modern Warfare 2, right? So what is it they're playing to prove that they are boycotting Modern Warfare 2? Is it Audiosurf? Madden? Bioshock? Uncharted 2? World of Warcraft? No, it's none of them

Turns out that Modern Warfare 2 is their choice of game as a group of gamers who are protesting MW2 are playing MW2. Let's show them the screenie boys

Note. Due to screen site, it is confined to its Photobucket page

A boycott? Sounds more and more like a Buycott to me. Look at how many are playing this. That's an effecting Buycott to me.

And for our second article courtesy of Destructoid. Folks, we all want the PS3 to be a major success not just against the 360, but also the Wii, the PC, the handhelds and Barack Obama. In fact, the PS3 should be our next president, even though it is nothing more than a machine to play Video Games with. However, what I am reporting is not how you make the PS3 a success. Oh no.

It seems a group of thugs decided to hold another Teen hostage and force him to buy them a Playstation 3 after the gun counter was closed. But it didn't take long for police to catch up to one of the two, one David Daniels. The other is still at large.

My condolence goes out to Kyle Yarkosky, the teen who was forced to use his grandfather's credit card to buy a PS3. But to the troublemakers who did this, their punishment should be simple....forced to play a Phillips CD-I for 20 years.

And that does it for Double Trouble. In our next post, we're preparing for New Super Mario Bros Wii, and I am going to investigate into Princess Peach Toadstool on why she keeps getting kidnapped. Till then, you're not in trouble, you're in Double Trouble.
