And another point I'd like to make...

You say the X-Box is ugly... but you're supposed to play games on it, not take the thing out on a freakin' date, for God's sake!!!

Agreed. But should that be the basis of an argument?

> 2.The pads are too big

Not really. The pads are poorly designed.

> 3.It has rubbish games

Not really. Although the worst out of the three in games, there's Halo, Morrowind, Fable, BC, Shenmue 2, Deus Ex 2 and some others. That's why, although my least favourite, I'll be picking one up later this year.

> 4.They look ugly

Not really. I like the black and green effect. Quite neat.

> 5.It's microsoft (Nintendo is the best)

Agreed - but who cares?

I'm not an owner of the X-Box and I'm not what I'd call a fan... but here goes...

> 1.They are far too big

Despite jokes about the X-Box's size (still) being moderately amusing, does it really matter how big the thing is?

> 2.The pads are too big

Microsoft have tried sorting this out and having used the new and improved smaller pad, I can safely say they've succeeded.

> 3.It has rubbish games

So does every console. That's the fault of the games developers, not the console manufacturers. X-Box may have some rubbish games, but it also a large number of absolutely brilliant ones, too.

> 4.They look ugly

So do you.

> 5.It's microsoft (Nintendo is the best)

Maybe Nintendo ARE the best, but that doesn't make Microsoft crap. Coke is the best, but that doesn't make Pepsi crap.

I can't imagine what made you post this topic, but now that you've been proven wrong in every point you've made, hopefully you won't ever do it again, you naughty, NAUGHTY child.

Twwwwaaang!
