"Well I like the X-Box"

But that's just me.
I don't hate Microsoft (pls explain, all you anti-Gates monkeys exactly WHY you detest Microsoft, instead of just saying that because it's fashionable to)

The more I see of the X-Box, the more impressed I am.
I dont care if it costs £299, so did the PS2.
I can afford that.

I will buy whatever console appeals to me.
Which is why I am bypassing the Gamecube.
Not because "It sucks!" but because I don't have any interest in Nintendo.

Did anyone not understand that? I dont hate the Gamecube, I just have no interest. I dont care what anyone else does, I like the look of the X-Box and think I'm getting one.
I enjoy my PS2 just as much as I thought I would.
I enjoy my PC a lot more, and the X-Box looks like something I'm interested in.

Now all you Nintendo/Sony Fanboys can flame away and tell me why the X-Box "sucks"
Because I haven't heard one valid reason that stands up to scrutiny.

Thats true Mantis, in the Gt3 package you couldn,t swap it for another game.

A month ago with the PS2 GT3 package you had no option about the game. You got GT3 and that was that.

No, but I don't *have* to buy GT3.

WipWout Fusion eh?

That's a new one on me!


(Sorry, but I had to point that out, made me laugh my little pathetic head off....)

What if you don't want GT3? Its the same thing.

What if you don't want any of the Microsoft games?

Even if this is true(which I doubt) I'm sure it only means you get MS games in the game bundles that come with the Xbox.

It's like saying "Sony force you into buying one of their games with the PS2!" but all that really means is you get GT3 pre packaged with it.

Nope, several people have said it, all at different times. I think Upwire ran an article on it.

However, what do you really think the chances of an Xbox fansite saying anything like that are?

What? Where did you hear that? I have been reading about the Xbox for ages and I have never heard that story before. It's probably just a rumour going about the sony websites.
