Way back, when XBox was still in development, I predicted that there would be problems with it. Just look at the PC running Windows. Then of course, MS had never made a "complete" system of any sort before, just add on's like PC game controllers. Here we are some time after launch, and people are still reporting problems with the XBox. Problems playing DVD's, dirty disc errors, and so on. Lets not forget the issue of scratched discs - although that one at least has gone silent.

And Sony also had some duff PS2's at launch, but at least that was just at launch and not a continuing run of issue's like with the XBox. Only Nintendo were able to launch a console without any problems at all - unless anyone knows different.

What about the Xbox's I have seen locked up (frozen) like a pc. Have seen many example's of this. Hold on, the PS2 does crash aswell - but from what I have seen no where near as much as XBox.

Also seen a few XBox consoles with the dirty disc error.

Yup, and the scratches were only at the edges of the disc and didnt even affect the actual game.

Oh for christ's sake Dave! You really are a muppet, aren't you.

You justify your purchase of a PS2, if that makes you feel big.
