take your pick.

X-Box, PS2, Game Cube. whatever.

Why would I want any of them? My PC allows me to play games of greater graphical quality, and in most cases, better gameplay and lastability. and if i ever want something different, well, i'm still getting decent mileage out of the greatest console of all time imo - my SNES.

Surly after going to the pub sitting around plaing 8 player Fifa is much more fun than setting up a LAN game?

Hence my SNES i guess eh. Besides which, should more action be required, my flatmate has a (seldom used) PS1. If I really want to do something with my mates though, i'll set up a LAN event, or go down the pub. Sitting around like a bunch of kids playing 8 player Fifa really doesn't appeal to most of the people i know, unless they are under the influence of things they shouldn't be under the influence of.

Yeah thats a good point why people buy consoles for multiplayer gaming.

Yeah you vanhave them on a pc but you have to play most of them over the net and many people cant play them over a fast comnnection like me who only has a 56k modem
