I can't really understand what you're saying cos u typ lik dis.

I have worked out though that you haven't played Halo.

How can you say a game is rubbish if you haven't played it?
As for the disk scratch thing, Sony had ages to sort the PS2 out, but thousands of people had faulty consoles at launch.

Also, millions of people think that PS2 and GC games are crap. Do you see me oging into the Sony forum and starting a thread like:

Ps2 is crap!

No, because I'm a grown up, unlike you.

At the end of the day, is anyone forcing you to buy the Xbox? Nope.

I wanted one so I bought one.

Why do you have such and issue with the Xbox? Are you just jealous beacue you can't afford one or something?

Maybe you should try playing on the console before you say you don't like it. And I don't mean 5 mins on a pod in a shop. Go have a proper play on it.

Until you do that I have nothing more to add to this argument. I'm happy with my decision to buy one, it's you that seems to have an issue.

Goodbye.

1. controllers really bad

That' spersonaly opinion. If you think it's too big, they're releasing the smaller Japanese version over here soon.

If you don't like th epad full stop, then get the adaptor that let's you use PS2 pads.

2. console to big

So? Like you need to carry it round a lot for God's sake...

3. scratch's disk's

Only a small number in Japan. There has NOT been ONE case of this in the US or Europe. Like the PS2 didn't have faulty machines at launch either.


4. games are not good quailty

Again, personal opinion. I like them.


5. sounds not too good

Has the best sound of ALL consoles because of the Dolby Digital thingy in it. Not sure of the details myself, but the fact remains it has the best sound chip out of all consoles. FACT.


6. too expensive

Have you not heard? The price has come down to £199. For less than £200 you're getting a better quality DVD player than PS2, and more hardware (HDD and Broadband connection).

Hmm, seems I've p!ssed all over your arguments.

Next?

Hmm, so you can't prove it. Thought so.

I don't need to prove anything, I'm happy with my decision. I'm not the one with an issue.

I like Xbox. I bought Xbox.

You don't like Xbox. You didn't buy Xbox.

It really is as simple as that.

OH NO !!!! The Japanese prefer their own consoles to a western one ! MS is doomed !!!! Unfortunatly for the X-Box haters, Japan isn't the only country in the world.

As for PS2 winning elsewhere - it bloody well should be, its had a 2 year head start you dumb git.

Anyway, now the price drop has come I'm sure the competition has commenced cacking their pants. Especially Nintendo with them only really having the price difference as a reason to buy GC over an X-Box. Some will start screaming about the games, but if I want to play the games, I can play most of them, including games that aren't even out on the GC for awhile by buying an N64.
