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.

*LOL*
Apart from the evidence of "The Simpsons", where is this "violence/intimidation" thing?
And, personally speaking, I dont care about monopolies in computers, I have an easy to use OS, top games and I promise that 99% of you are using a PC with Windows and Exporer to use this site, so if y'all hate Gates, then get Linux etc.

But you won't.
Because "I'm late-teens living at home with my parents and when I speak the truth, the world can't handle it"

Do something about your hatred for Microsoft instead of whining about it and continuing to use their products.
Otherwise you're a damn dirty hypocrite and everything you say is invalidated.

(this was about the X-Box for chrissakes, not Gates, but I'm always up for a row)

No tricks at all, people agreeing with me is not a concern of worry of mine.

But I've read all manner of people slamming the X-Box knowing nothing about it, and using the old schtick of "Microsoft suck!!" without really saying why they feel like that.

I dont know Bill Gates and dont care at all.
I have a PC and it's fantastic.
I like the idea of the X-Box and what it appears it can do.

And PS2 is coming with a hard-drive and downloadable stuff, and drivers on memory cards...not that far-removed from a PC.

Bill Gates is a villain - a criminal - simple as that.

Unfair business practicies, intimidation, violence, and a complete unwillingness to allow fair trade.

You want proof?

Just watch the episode of The Simpsons where he "buys out" Homer's newly-founded Internet company.

Bill Gates should be locked up.

Is this another one of your tricks to see whether people just suck up to what you're saying? I think Bill Gates is a genius and deserves every penny he's earnt. That's right - he's earnt it. Thanks to him the world is a different place. We wouldn't be able to be doing what we're doing now (chatting over the internet) if he'd never invented what is the world's most widely used operating system. I'm not saying I'm gonna go to America and marry the bloke, but just that he's an innovator and it's changed the world. Big Up Willy G. I've heard the X-Box is pretty cack, actually. Isn't it basically a PC? I suppose it might have some advantages if you'll be able to upgrade it. I'm happy with me little PSOne for now. I bought it because I liked the idea of the little screen - but when they came out, how much?!!?? And you have to plug it in as well!
