XBOX SUCKS
Page:
You can dribble on about you specs and figures, but the fact of the matter is NINTENDO = fun!
Bill Gates could buy out the games industry. He's loaded! However, he doesn't know the first thing about the "gaming world"
Nintendo have had years of experience, you can say that Xbox is better but I bet everyone of you in this forum played Goldeneye and LOVED the mulitplayer. Ninentendo means quality.
I own a playstation, N64 and dreamcast! I never played the Dreamcast and PSX as much as I did my N64. This is because I wan't enjoyment, not thrilling!
However, When I was faced with the decision to either get a PSX 2 , Xbox or Cube, money wasn't an option! Christmas and my birthday has passed and I had £400 to spend on any console I wished. My first instinct was to go for Nintendo. I could have spent £300 on an xbox, I could have bought a PSX2, but I have decided to wait until the Cube is released on May 3rd.
I know that when I spend my money on that system, every penny will be worth parting with!
This is why I am buying a cube, and I am 18!
A mature student who wants fun from his console, and he knows he's going to get it!
Back to the cube forum for me,
GAMECUBE ROCKS!

Actually it only has 562.5 8mb memory cards built in, or 4.5Gb in actually size. The other 3.5Gb is not accesable to the user, as this is used by the games for caching like in Halo.

they dont make PC's, they make the software that comes with most PC's sold, but they dont actually make PC's.

Why could anyone say that a machine such as the Xbox could suck???
It Defies belief!!!
Here i have a console that plays many of my favourite games from the pc, without the overbearing price tag that it comes with!!!
One problem is that Microsoft now have the gaming world in a stranglehold. The make Pcs, they make Pc games, they make the xbox, which very soon will dominate the market!!
Microsoft need to step down a gear before they put all of the other independent retailers out of action!!
THEYRE KILLING THE MARKET!!!!!

Looks can be deciving as this is one of the worst Star Wars games. It has got bad reviews from every place and all the user reviews come to the same conclusion, its pretty awful.

Xbox owns the Gamecube's purple pop-up toaster lookalike ass!
Halo is AWESOME, Dead or Alive 3, while it lacks originality, is simply the COOLEST fighting game ever! Munch's Oddysee looks cool! And from what I've seen of Star Wars: Obi Wan, that game looks like it could be THE greatest Star wars game on ANY system to date!
And anyone who moans and whines about the size of the pad is clearly an idiot, for a start the DC pad was bigger! I think the people who do all this moaning are scared Sony zealots who fear the Xbox will KILL their precious PS2 console when it arrives in the UK in just over 3 weeks' time.
In short, Xbox OWNS you Sony!

Wrong. Unless you own a brand new Geforce 4 Ti4600 which isnt out yet, as this is the graphics card that is about as powerfull as the X-box graphics chip. The new Geforce 4 Ti4600 is up to 50% more powerful than the current Geforce 3 Ti500. So the X-Box is more powerful than any PC available now. Also with consoles they dont need as much power to run the games as a PC. Take the PS1 for example, can a 33mhz processor and 2mb Ram in a PC run the games that a PS1 can.

I think that everyone has thier own oppinion on what gaming they like and dont like and so if you dont like anything then it really doesnt matter.
Why not just talk about the cool stuff because you may hurt someone who likes the X-Box.
Personally i think the X-Box has huge potential and right now it just hasnt got the games but in a couple years it will be right up thier with the PS2.
