You still don't get why I kicked up a fuss. I gave my opinion, got some fair responses, then some prat decides to make fun of me. I am happy to hear peoples views if they are different to mine but if people are telling me that my views are wrong, then I will say the same thing back. And how the hell am I supposed to know that you don't own an XBOX you retard.

Multi-format games are coded to work on the lowest powered machine, because it guarantees that if it can run smoothly on that one, it will run on the others. Obviously things have to be altered and re-coded because of the differences in the hardware, but this is basically the reason.
Do you think that when developers make a multi-format game, they want to be sat round making what is essentially 3 completely different games?

Well then your ignorance is clear. The only reason that you don't like the Xbox seems to be because you didn't buy one yourself so you're kicking up a tantrum trying to justify your choice. It's pathetic - you have inadequate knowledge of the Xbox and its games to insult people who bought one.

Except better games and decent online play, no it has nothing more to offer.

I'm well aware of the fact that the XBOX is technically more powerful than the PS2. It seems to me that all this extra power is wasted because there is very little difference in performance between the machines. If it is "so" much better then why are the same games released for both machines, the visuals look almost identical and they play the same. Surely if the XBOX was really that much better it would take the games to the next level.
Also the ps2 is only still going because sony con people into believing that the games on their console are actually good. Medal of honor rising sun scored about 9.9 compared to just 5.6 or so on xbox. The official magazine just lies so that people go and buy the game. Have you seen all those labels on ps2 games. They've given everything from burnout 3, to pop 2 10/10. These game may be good, but they 'aint perfect now are they?
OH MY GOD I'M SO FUNNY

Err, nope.
