Keeping Ahead Of The Game

...s far to expensive for what it is and the chaps at Microsoft know all about this and the fact that they will definitely make millions from it, despite their supply and demand structure which has failed yet again to deliver to all of the worlds "hard-pressed" parents who feel let down because their kids won't have the latest expensive craze.
