"PS2 - another 1st"

The SIMS is a good game, and so far only on pc. But in a few months time, this will also be available for PS2. Great news! But why are there no signs of the XBox or GC versions? This will leave PS2 as the only console that can play the SIMS. Surprised XBox didnt get an easy port - since it has a pc processor.

you missed my point. no one has played sims on PS2, so it would be a first, pc, or no pc.

so I'm right, and your not right. :)

The “some” refers to PS2 owners who don’t have a pc, or have one but don’t run games on it for whatever reason.

The “others” refers to people who do have a pc, and therefore may already have the game. Obviously for those, it’s not a first if they already have it on pc.

Naturally, if you have and like using a pc for games and you already run The Sims on it, then this is not a first. But for people who don’t have a pc or have one that is a) not up to the job, or b) they just don’t like running games on the pc out of choice, then PS2 Sims is a first for them. If there are any Sims fans out there which own GameCube, or Xbox, but don’t have a pc, or don’t have one that is up to the job, or have one but don’t like using it for games, then they are effectively disadvantaged since the Sim’s won’t be on GC or Xbox.

Dave, you said:

for some people, PS2 sims is a first

that means that there would have to be others who have played sims on console. otherwise it would read :

PS2 sims is a first.

I do have a problem with the english language. You misusing it.

The ELSPA chart tracks can be found in a lot of places. The easiest I find is when eating breakfast - turn on the tv, Channel 4, Digitiser, Page 487. Alternatively, BBC 1 or 2, Gamestation, page 538 (or 9 possibly). These charts can also be found all over the web.

What? That's nothing like the original text. You have retyped it and screwed it up. What's "o be" then? Didnt see that in my text.

They didn't lose Rare as such.
Rare wanted Nintendo to buy them out completely but Nintendo refused because Rare don't make enough games to make such a huge purchase worthwhile.
Because Nintendo have so many third parties working with them nowdays, they didn't really need Rare anymore, so they sold them off for a HUGE amount of money.

Nintendo win because they get a fortune.
MS win becase the get Rare's new games.

dave, you said: for some people. that means that there would have o be others, who have played sims on console. otherwise it would read :
