Microsoft. Helping new students drop out of college via video game addiction :P Sweethearts.

Oh, if only I hadn't gotten that 360 in freshmen year, I wouldn't have dropped out playing MW2 when I should have been studying.

Start 'em young!

This is like the video game equivalent of credit cards pushed onto campuses. I saw an ad for sweetheart loans on cars for students, complete with a suck-up ad about how great it is to be a student with a car, how proud this achievement is. Celebrate with a new car!

Oh well, I graduate tomorrow ^_~ If you need a new comp, and you don't build your own alreadys, go for it.

Just hope this isn't MS's way of disposing of their warehouses full of refurbished 360s >_>

What are you talking about? Playing games by college is pretty late to me. Also addiction? It's not like it is WoW or something.

It's a joke, AP.

It was a trap. :P

Congrats on the graduation.
