"XBOX, XBOX, XBOX!"

*sigh* I don't know why people keep flaming this damn console, just because it's made by Microsoft, and that they will be big competition, a lot of you people out there don't like it. When are you PS2, and GCN lovers gonna learn that the XBOX is going to knock out all existing consoles. And i can guarantee you that people right now are disagreeing with me, in more ways than one. One of the reasons i could guess would be, "But Nintendo are the BEST for original games!", well, technically at the moment, yeah, but whats to say the XBOX won't have more original games? I mean, you really don't think you can compare Nintendo's originality to Microsoft can you? Ha, hahaha. This is Microsoft's first go at creating a games console, so you can't say they can't do original games. And you can't substitute PC games for that statement because these are totally different developers. There are at least 900 developers already working on the XBOX. Another thing, I read a post earlier saying that the XBOX is just a PC in a box. Let me get something straight, technically, EVERY console is a PC in a box if you look at it that way, and also that person said that they were gonna release Word, and Excel, etc. on it. That is complete and utter *BS*. There are currently no plans, i repeat NO PLANS for Microsoft to make the XBOX like a PC. They have confirmed that they have no plans to release a keyboard for it, as it would make people uneasy about the console side of it. All i'm saying is, give Microsoft a chance with this one, you don't know what they can do in the console world. And i don't know why people hate and flame Microsoft SOOOO much, after all, a majority of you run Windows right? So what are you going on about?

I thought as much, because last summer at band...camp I was being attacked by an alligator and my n64 didn't have a strong enough fan!
It also says on the the top of the console... 'this way up'
and on the bottom 'wrong way'.. I mean derrr!

The fan is actually part of the plan to turn it into one of those hydrofoil craft for zooming around the swamps of Florida, should you ever find yourself playing the X-box and an aligator appears....

The Xbox has this huge fan at the back! and it makes a terrible noise.. or so I have been told!

Also its crap....

:D

Hello Smuggler. Welcome to the forums.

You will never leave of course, once you've entered FOG you will never be the same again. It will take over your soul.

*ahem* but apart from that, have a good time.

So will the Xbox use a cut-down version of Windows, like on the Dreamcast?
