For everyone who I have contiually annoyed on the Nintendo forum, I have good news.

Selling my Gamecube on Ebay, and no this is not some advertising thing with a link...

My continued boredom of the console, with games I don't enjoy, has led me to this, along with my love of the X Box which has so far not disappointed me, and actually has more than 3 games coming out this year that I want, which aren't ports.

I'm not saying it is a better console - it is in my opinion - just that it suits me better as the gamer I am, plus I can't afford to run two consoles and still by all the game I wish for them..*eyes Steel Battalion on Xbox*...

Adios, like Rare, I'm waving goodbye to Nintendo :P

im sorry have passed into one of the x-files episode? x-box better than GC, even tho they both have games that are good but PS2 is wipping them? GC has a much better reputaion than the x-box as the x-box is just like a powerful laptop which is not as good as a laptop... stupid box

Maybe it's because the cube has nintendo games?

Yes, that'd be okay if I gave a damn about FPS genre.

You have to win the games in the raffles and arcades etc. and then it lets you play them on the Saturn.

Well if you had any intelligence at all, you could tell that he didn't mean PS2 ports strictly, and was in fact pointing out that the majority of the big games are in fact from another format.

I will be quite happy at the end of this year, when I am playing supirior versions of 70% of the XBoxes big games on my PC.

I'd sell mine, but it looks nice next to my xbox. Sort of "david and goliath" vibe.

I quote, "What games do you want for X-Box? 'Yet another PS2 port'?"

I simply said that they weren't PS2 PORTS! Grow up WS and stop looking to pick arguments every where you go. If I had said ports in general then I would have accpeted your correction but the fact is they aren't PS2 ports so lets just leave it at that.

Well exactly, whats the bloody point in it then?

If I wanted to play Super Hang On (the only vaguely good thing about the game), I would get my Megadrive out, and I certainly wouldn't pay for a piece of drivel like Shenmue to get it anyway.

The Sega Saturn doesn't work does it... The arcades were great whilst waiting for the story to continue but I didn't think that that the Saturn actually worked. If it does I will be straight back onto it tomorrow but as far as I am aware you can open the cupboard with the Sega Saturn in but you can't turn it on and use it.

You are, invent as many of your own rules and conditions as you like, but those games are ports.
