why is it that people take part in fan-boy stuff for instance someone i know at college is a big dreamast and nintendo fan and according to him these facts about the ps2 and xbox are true:

stupid biased facts:
"ps2 has only 8 bit like a gameboy not 128 bit its just a special chip that makes it look better"

"gamecube is more powerful than the xbox its proven"

"dreamcast is more powerful than ps2"

"gamecube and dreamcast have better games"


stupid comments:
"xbox is so big i'll need a house extension then another room for the control pad"

"ps2 may have the most games but only 4 of them are any good"


this stuff really annoys me because most of the time the people who say it actually belive it

i have a ps2 and its proven to have 128 bit

i'm gonna get a xbox and it is bigger than the other consoles because it is the most powerful and is like a miny pc but i don't see them complaining about the size of pcs

plus it has a built in hardrive so what do they expect

what i am saying is:

most people have ps2's and most people who have them are not usually biased and are usually open-minded

a lot of people did have dreamcasts but its done and dusted now so why can't people let it r.i.p

a lot of people have nintendo gamecubes and alot of them are nintendo fans or sega fans

and a good number of people have x-box's especially for christmas like me :)

what i'm saying is i got a ps2 because despite what alot of people say it has alot of good games and has a built in dvd :)

i'm getting a xbox because i like the fact you can put your own music in games plus save things on your own hardrive plus download extra characters levels etc etc like you can with pc's like expansion packs plus because i like the control pad plus i find the graphics amazing (well what i've seen from screenshots since i have'nt played a xbox) and most importantly i like loads of games that are out or coming out for it including

starwars jedi knight 2
starwars knights of the old republic
halo
halo 2
perfect dark 2
morrowind
battlefield 1942
toejam & earl

and loads more plus all the great looking games that are coming out in the future

and i did'nt get a gamecube because apart from a few games most do not appeal to me an because it has no extra features like a xbox

but different consoles are for different people so why can't everyone just get along ?

Thats obviously not true (but who really cares anyway?)

> "dreamcast is more powerful than ps2"

To some degree this is true! the DC is a highly under rated console, but in other aspects the PS2 is more powerful than the DC (i cant be bothered to go into details regarding their advantages, dis-advantages but they both their strenghs and weaknesses and neither is better than the other in ALL areas).

> "gamecube and dreamcast have better games"

The Dreamcast has a fantastic library of games, but 'better' depends on what you like as an idividual so this is neither true nor false.

> i have a ps2 and its proven to have 128 bit

Same as the Dreamcast and Gamecube (all 3 are great consoles)

Ive got a GC and its a great console but i can see that it isnt everybodys 'cuppa Tea'. Each to their own.

I couldnt agree more.
