Sorry to be so truthful. But being realistic, the Console wars is over before the damn thing has even begun!
Nintendo Gamecube of course is dominating the news without even showing anything officially, which is saying something.
And what have we to look forward to for the X-BOX and PS2, apart from HALO, GT3, Metal Gear 2?????
Boring stuff indeed!

Console wars over?? Bo**ocks. The GC looks good, but I've noticed that the pics don't look much better than the PS2 graphics.

Oh yeah, try looking at some of the games scheduled for release for PS2.

I don't think it's over, not by a long shot.

You are a gimp, aren't you. You could say the very same thing about the PS2, and quite a lot of games.

Everyone thought the CW was over before it had begun with the vastly more powerful N64, but looky looky!

They are called "GAMES consoles" because people buy them to play GAMES. Ultimately, it will be the games that decide who wins the CW, and you will have to wait about 5 years to learn the outcome.

mmmm! Diddy kong pilot with motion tilt control. Now that's what I call a handheld games machine.

My brain went into overload when I saw the Gamecube and GBA games releases from E3. It's never going to be the same again, gamecube here we come!

Microsoft themselves have said $299 so it's not a rumour.

The space to be removed is just before 'stories'.

It won't be $299.00, ha with that price and a Geforce3 Crappysoft will be losing soooo much money....

....ha ha, and yet the GC looks better and better at £160 in Europe..


...what is a PS2?

I've got one. Had it quite a while now and very happy with it. But look at what we have been given to behold. Just look? Have you looked yet? Why not? Stop reading my drivel and go and look. Now!

A few GameCube previews and the world (rightly) goes mad with excitement. Microsoft has announced the XBox will be out in America in November (the 8th I think it was) for $299 an nobody seems to care.

You looked at the GC stuff yet?

Yeah, I'm glad they're not making the same mistake as they did with the N64
