Bill Gates can't play soccer games (or he's a good faker)

From joystiq.com:
[QUOTE]
During a promotional event celebrating Microsoft's twentieth anniversary in Mexico, Bill Gates lost to professional Mexican soccer player Rafael Marquez 2-1 in a virtual game of soccer on the 360. The game was played in front of a crowd of Microsoft employees on three jumbo trons.
And in proper fashion, the two exchanged signed product after the match; Gates giving Marquez a 360 with wired controllers, and Marquez giving Gates a Barcelona camiseta.

Taken from Sony PS3 campaign: "This is marketing" biggrin.gif

Porbably Billy gave the core because they have to justify it...
If Microsoft "go" with Premium so much everyone could start complaining about how Core was somewhat in between a sub product and a ripoff.
