I couldn't hold in my laughter today when I was reading topics on these forums in which people said things like "Xbox has no games" and "Can you imagine using that pad".
My mind boggles as to how a group of so-called enlightened gamers can go about being so biased against a console... how???
Let's look at it objectively. The xbox does have a great set of launch games.... some mags and sites have said that it has the BEST set of launch games for any console. I can't complain about this either- how many console have been released with a game as original as Halo, a racer that really is pushing the boundries, and a superb beat 'em up?
Ok, so I've begun to rant about the xbox... but the point I'm getting to is that it is an extremely well supported console, with excellent launch games and plenty more games to follow. For people to make a joke out of the size of the controller (which is actually very comfortable), just shows their narrow-minded biased attitudes.
One thing that I think anyone with half a brain can see is that xbox isn't bad, it does have great games, and it shouldn't be shunned.
Oh yer.... but it's made by Bill Gates... a man so evil that he's leaving all but $3 million of his multi million dollar fortune to charities (that 3 million is going to his kids).

i thought he had £49 BILLION. I thought the X-Box controller would be good if it had a vibration option. Imagine that big thing vibrating LOL.

I'm going to stroll down the Xbox road. It's time for a new direction. Even if it fails, it'll be exciting and fresh while it lasts.
I must say that I really don't like biased gamers or when gamers act biased.
If anyone says "Oh, the [insert console/game] is going to be rubbish", I am just going to ignore them. Most people who say the X-Box is rubbish haven't even played it - they judge it by it's look, which is a sad fact today in life.
Some say that it's because of the look of the controller. People thought that the PS1 controller was wierd when it first came out, but did that stop it getting tens of millions of units sold. Some just say it's rubbish to be "cool" or to "fit in", so to speak - and that is just utter crap. If you're going to criticise a console, at least have a good reason to do so!

So are you still planning on getting all 3 consoles, Grix?
X-Box will rule in America, and do poorly in Japan... really not sure about Europe.
But Halo, Dead or Alive 3, and that car game... not Gotham, the one that Goatboy mentioned the other day, those three rule, but not enough to warrant the money.
Especially Dead or Alive 3... there is NO gameplay, I don't care what people say. It's just wobbling boobs. Well, the second one was, anywho.

If not, we'll all have to go and slap him. I'm up for it.
