Xbox : THE size of a huge VCR - the first thing that puts u off it. Only one good game at launch - HALO ( also coming on pc soon). YOu have to pay an extra £27 just for the dvd controller. The control pad is bigger than Dc's and is uncomfortable, with those four crap "jewel buttons"

and of course..the price-£299...wtf! gamecube is only £165, and with PS2 at £199, that makes best choice, with greats games such as MGS2, and GTA3

face it..xbox is only gonna be boughy by ppl with too much cash to burn, thinking that higher specs win..that is not the case!

ps2 has a great range of platinum titles already, and GC will be bought by lots of children. Microsoft also have no experience at all in making consoles.

Previously the N64 had higher specs than Playstation, but playstaion won in the end. With loads of PSone owners, they will upgrade to Xbox.

But PS1 is crap!

Anyway, PS2 was hardly a strong console when it was first released and you must have known that the RRP was 300 quid. If you didn't you're an idiot. If you did, you're still an idiot for buying it at that price. Basically, you're an idiot.

I know someone who bought a PS2 on release and went into debt because of it. It took him about 3 months to get out of debt, and then another month or so to actually make enough money to buy his first game. So what was the point of him buying a PS2 so early in the first place?! If he had waited, the price would have dropped. He didn't so he had no games for about 4 months. What was the use of his PS2? He already had a DVD player. And don't say the demo disc!

Another of my friends was clever. He bought one for 300 quid on release. He sold it shortly after for a grand. He then bought a PS2 2 months later with plenty of games and he still had loads of money left.

I'm reeeeeeeeeeeealllllllllllyyyyyyyy offended at you calling my brand new Xbox rubbish.

Saying "everyone" is a common phrase. But you are taking it liturally, and you know it. Pathetic.

Well, I'm sure MetalGear2king could say he is offended after you calling him an idiot.

Believe it or not, people on this forum are REAL people. Therfore they have REAL feelings, thoughts, and emeotions. So it is perfectly plausable to make friends on these forums. Just like sending a letter to your best loved realative in the USA, who you never see. It doesn't mean you can't talk to them.

Well, you were offended when he called you a moron. Enough said.

Yes, but people can still be respected as a newbie. I know a lot of people that are, such as Axel. You just need to earn it. And some people were never newbies.

> 7. I dont like you an I dont think anyone else here does either

Same for you. He has more respect than you do.

Tom:

At no point did I say the words "the X BOX" is rubbish, anyway how can I, when I havnt played one??? I was just basing an opinion from actual facts.

I dont want to earn respect, everyones opinion counts, thats the whole point of discussion. If new opinions do not count then I could say its being disrespectful towards them.

You are being just as bad as me and metalgear2king because you have actually spent time trying to insult me. (refer to the mocking of "reeeeeeaaaaalllllyy")

And anyway why have you become involved?

Have you heard of sarcasm too?

I have become involved because this thread is saying that the Xbox is the worst console ever. When it isn't. (look at the bloody Jaguar!). I own an Xbox, so I don't want to sit down, and watch people insult it.

I agree, you didn't say it is rubbish. And I'm sorry for saying that. But you did say "youve made a BIG mistake buying an X BOX" Which, I could take as offence.

Yes, I am as bad as you and Metalgear2kind. But I couldn't give a stuff. Because (in my opinion) metalgear2kind and you haven't done much wrong, so why would I care about being as bad as you. I'm sorry for mocking your "reaaaallllllyyyyy" I got carried away.

I am in the wrong, for good reasons.

quinty - what the f? get your facts striaght.

I am sorry too Tom, I didnt exactly want an arguement about it either. The thing I said about the X BOX was out of anger to annoy metalgear2king, why do people take things literally word for word around here?
