"Convince me (Gamecube or XBox?)"

I'm thinking of getting another console to go with my trusty PS2, but I'm not sure which of the current batch would suit my needs more. I absolutely love Halo to bits, and Halo 2 comes out soonish. But Ialso lke the look of them Star Wars games on the GC - especially Rebel Assault 3 when that comes out, Xwings, Millennium Falcons, Taun Tauns, etc. But then again Star Wars: Galaxies come out on XBox in September and that makes me drool. So which should it be? Xbox or Gamecube - you decide*.






* (you don't actually decide, I just said that so you'd think so had some degree of control over my life)

This isn't console wars. Hell, I left that behind months and months a go. I just shouldn't post my opinions about the PS2 according to a few people which is hilarious considering its a chat forum.

When you find yourself with all the consoles, I think you'll find that you probably wont really care about each consoles little faults, and will just appreciate each consoles strengths a lot more. Then you'll realise just how silly the whole 'console wars' thing really is.

I think the problem is with you not knowing what the hell went on. He was pathetic, going on about all the posts I had done saying that the PS2 is "crap" when there aren't any. I have made construtive points praising and degrading the PS2 and for that matter I will continue to do so. I do about the Xbox when I aren't happy and the same with the Cube.

I will own a PS2 again in a few weeks and as a customer I will say what I am happy with. If you can't live with that then tough luck.

Well I am not a fan of the PS2. I think I will discuss how poor it is for quite a while to come, some people may learn.

I didn't really know what Ali thought of the PS2 before I read that Ali-Chem Bro argument a week or two ago.

However Ali does silly things in this argument like jumping on Chem Bro for being a Newbie. Chem Bro was easily holding his own and made Ali look quite petty indeed.

So I think your problem is with Ali rather than those who knock the PS2.

Whether you know about my feelings is irrelavant. I was replying to a post which I didn't agree with. Its a chatforum you see and we don't have to agree with every bloody thing that some other user posts.

Better get used to it anyway because I am picking up a PS2 in a few weeks and I will have some more quarells and questions. Or is that classed as forcing my opinion?

Choose as you wish to answer that but when I pick up my PS2 and complete my colelction of all the consoles I will most likely complain even more about the little things because one will always be doing something better than the other one.

Either put up and shut up or actually discuss the topics with me. Either way I couldn't care less.

There. I've explained myself fully. I don't think I have anything else to add. Surely now you understand what I mean.

Anyway. I'm off.
I bid ye' farewell and goodnight.

BAH BAH BAH BAH.

I didn't say he tried to force people not to buy PS2s. He tries to force his opinion on everyone by mentioning it at any given oppurtunity.

I don't like constantly referring back to 'that' thread, but I'm afraid this is just a repeat of what happened there. It's him sticking to his same old story, backtracking a little, while someone else (me, in this case) tries to explain to him that we don't need to see his comments about the PS2 because we know how he feels about it...

It's the little snide comments here and there that cause the annoyance. Here:

Not when you consider the fact that there are around 4 that are worth owning."


Now, FM just posted a little trivial fact, and you had to go and say that. Why? Does anyone care that you think that? No. Surely you know saying things like that when the chance comes up is hardly going to get a positive reaction, especially in the Sony forum.

Now. I'm going to repeat myself one more time, and then I'm leaving.


You have an opinion. That's fine.
Have you expressed this opinion before? Yes, so we know how you feel.
Are comments like the one above necessary? No.

There are plenty of other threads in which you make similar negative comments, apparently for the hell of it. I also know you're getting another one, so maybe you're on the way to recovery, but there was no reason for you to ever go on like you did, and I do hope you've stopped, I really do.



That was the kind of thing I was talking about when I made that comment near the start of this thread - you seem to like to make unnecessary negative comments whenever possible.

You're saying they are not the same thing?

*sets it all off again*

Thats the thing though. I explained why I sold my PS2 and because of this I am forcing my opinions.

That makes sense.

Its a rhetorical question. I am questioning the matter which you can't seem to address.
