Theres ALWAYS a console wars topic going around...

And whenever its started up, a few people will post a '*yawn* another console was topic post' before everyone else gets into a fight...

This post is becomming so traditional, that it seems that each forum memeber is taking turns making the statment, or joining in the wars discussion...

(I know Ive done both in the past (sometimes in the same post!?))

Thing is... where do we stand on console wars topics?

Are we tired of them, leaving it for a newbie subject?

Is it really tiresom and SO overdone?

Or just good clean rivalry fun?

I think that console wars bring us closer together as we always have our different opinions which we use against or to back each other up. Anyway dont ask me what the best is, i thought that the Dreamcast and Playstation 2 were as powerful as each other cos they are both 128bit. Could you please tell me why the Playstation 2 is more powerful, i know now that it is but i don't know why it is.

I don't think discussions about handles on ONE console should count, that's not really a 'console war', rather just a "Hey, Look! The Nintys are having an argument, come and watch! LOL!" type of thread which comes under the 'amusement' category.

Perhaps if the GBA had an optional handle, then it might be considered valid. Or if X-Box decided to make the handle an optional accessory in Tartan, then maybe we could discuss the relative merits of the Gamecube handle and the X-Box handle. (Rumoured to be called the 'X-Handle' by the way.)
