After the crash, the screen showed a familiar PC boot screen and a Microsoft representative explained that the memory configuration on the floor models was different than that of the final version. This shows XBox is just a disguised PC! Typical eh!

Every console experiences problems or another at launch. So why single out Microsoft? The PlayStation 2 has far been the worst offender. C'mon, I know a few people, including myself, who had there's "die" on them after a month or use.
Do you know what it is? I really think these close-minded people are having a hard-time dealing with the fact, that Microsoft have issued out a decent console which wouldn't look out of place under anyone's TV. Surely, you can't honestly sit there and say you don't want to play titles such as Raw Is War, Halo, Dead or Alive 3, Jet Set Radio Future or Shenmue 2?
Let's say for arguments sake, it is a "PC-in-a-box". So what?

indeed... after all, the DC was more of a PC in a box! Oh, and as for the original PSX... that was certainly just a PC in a box, which made it so easy to program that developers flocked to it!
Yet anti-MS folk think this is a bad thing... how many of these people have a psx/2??

would the game cube still be good with it's high spec if it had no games would any games console be good without any games, thats right no.
I bought a DC cause of the outstanding game shenmue, i bought a PSX a few years back cause i knew MGS was coming and resident evil 2 ect and now i'm buying a PS2 just cause it's got GTA3 now if Ninetendo bring a game out which is game cube only maybe i'll get that or maybe x-box will bring a good game out i mean jet set radio future looks so cool.
it's not about the consoles fools it's the games and as i'm a hard core gamer (well i like to think that) and i admit i have been DC biased in the past i finaly relaised it was the games not the console i loved most.
they call people who post here gamers not consolers or whatever. Also no one slated sony when they went into the console market but everyone is having digs at microsoft i mean microsofts OS suck but they have made great games like age of empires and good hardware to like that funky optical mouse.
now stop whinging and start playing fools
"just my 99 pence worth"

Well, I can assure you that MS's PC games will not see light of day on the xbox (thanks be to God!)... instead it will be a console :)

very embarrassing, the xbox is typically made of pc components so basically it is a pc, but it is still a powerfull machine. i don't mind the fact it is a PC (no matter how much MS try to hide this) as long as it has good games and does not crash or show the blue screen of death or have a hidden ctrl, alt , delete button hidden under the joypad.
LOL!! - at the title of course. So maybe it is like a compressed PC, shaped into a black box??

This is the most pathetic post I've seen here for ages... if you'd bothered to read through the posts, u'll find a huge on (by me) that details the DISASTER that the PS2 had in almost all of it's gameshows...
Just one example: EVERY SINGLE PS2 demo crashed at a show held a month before the Japanese release.
I suggest you check the other post now bfore you come up with a stupidly biased post which is based on one side of the argument.

PS NO DON'T REPLY until you've read the posts!
