"Splinter Cell was Multi-platform from the beginning."

Well Well then it appears that Splinter Cell the so called Xbox exclusive was infact a multi platform game from the very beginning and infact the developers actually wanted to make sure they could achieve the same level of detail on the PS2 and GC games otherwise they would have never have started the project.

Infact the PS2 version has extras, that are geared more towards the PS2 user as they demand more and have higher skill level, not my words but the actual developers comments.

Then again I can imagine that it's a hard game for Xbox users because of their poorly designed controllers.

Perfectly true but if they wanted to the could. Musy X is vastly superior to the PS2 sound system anyway so if the sound quality is reduced to fit GTA vice city on the Gamecube then it will still sound as good as the PS2 game. Gamecube can handle better graphics than the PS2 so if the graphics are downgraded to fit on a Gamecube disc it would still look as good as a PS2 game.

Take all this into account.

Actually, my knowledge is acquired through having to read your repetitive tirade, but go back to your little world, regardless.

I'm fully conscionable of the fact that I'm not everyone's favourite forum pet. If you can't handle it, go away. And from the look of your typing, you're not dyslexic, you just can't spell for coin.

Dringo: Hello mate why don't you like the Gamecube?
Random guy: Not a fan of the games

Random guy: I prefer the more realistic gamse

Random guy: Isn't it a Childrens console?

Random guy: I can play my old PS2 games on my PS2.

Random guy: It looks cool but all my mates have PS2's

Random lass: I was thinking about getting one but I can't afford it over my ps2.

Sad Sony fan boy: The discs can't hold really big games.

Did you read my earlier post? Compression WILL downgrade things like audio and FMV. Hence, use a bigger disc (ie, dvd-rom).

I have actually done that test! I cant help what i woz born with! What, are you perfect? It's a problem that i'v learnt to live with! Its people like you that can hurt people!

No, that was because it's being given away which constitutes as a sale. Therefore, it's selling a copy for every PS2 sold.

Wrong. Championship Manager has got that trophy - on the PC is it officially the fastest selling game of all time.

Well, if Nintendo spend that much on a game at least they'll make it decent. NOT rubbish that gets average scores in mags. If you can make a better game with less money that's fine by me. I'D RATHER PLAY BETTER GAMES THAN GAMES THAT COST THE MOST TO MAKE. Not you, though. You like style over substance which is why you lapped up The Getaway like a rapid hound.

You can always tell when someone is losing grip with an argument when they start getting personal rather than argue back.

Yeh they might not be losing millions from piracy, but it is a double edge sword it is one on the reason why the Cube is so unpopular as well.
