    The headline of this article infuriates the hell out of me :mad: - "Xbox killer given life sentence".

    Before you even read the article, you're already conjuring up images of some wierdo coming out of his darkened room just long enough to inflict death upon some unsuspecting punter.

    How about changing the title to "Another scumbag killer given life sentence"

    Come on, in fairness, according to this article, the only aspect in which the xbox was involved was that it was a stolen item. If it was an iPod, would they be labelling it an Apple Killer?

    Phew, rant over.

    Ah in fairness, I was expecting worse than that. It was an argument over the console itself.

    I was expecting an article like "I dismembered him one limb at a time because I saw it in Dead Space".
