Within 2 days, we've had topics on the GameCube demo disc, the DVDs that come with the magazines, multiple ones on the controller, complete "reviews", thousands on what games to get, someone's even written something about the startup screen and how nicely the sodding disc pops out of the cases! Oh, and guess what? Everything's better than anything seen ever before!

What a surprise!

Jesus, get a life you sad geeks. I make no attempt to hide my geekism, but you losers really are the limit! Get a life! It's only a games console, you don't need to let the world know how the little nice in the casing 62mm left and 47mm below the bottom right corner of the underside of the console has the perfect contour for hold mini-eggs. Do, please, stop the utter foolishness now, before I get angry.

i don't think turbonutter's original post got through to anyone. Randomly scanning the posts i have read the following briefly:

X-box and GC are better than PS2
DOA3 has 180mill pols per second or something (i think that's good)
Everybody else knows exactly what's coming out on the GC and X-box.
I'm the only one who doesn't care about the exact numbers of everything.
Irrelevent things are being sed
Bad decisions have been made about something
You are all idiots

I just saved anybody new to this chat room from having to read it all in 10 lines :-)

Yes Microsoft admitid it isn't a realistic estimate as it is only singular items.

NO! DOA3 had 18 million per second for each character and the

How do you know do you work for microsoft?

How can Dead or Alive 3 shift 100 million per second for the static backdrops, yes they can move if they are thrown into but does that happen every second.

You really are incredibly dumb, if the Cube can only shift 10 million for the backdrops and X-box can shift 100 million then why is there barley any difference? The Gamecube can be pushed harder easier compared with the X-b0x, a sad console that had to enter the mainstream market to make a profit but lost out to Sony and even a non-mainstream console ala Gamecube can beat it in sales...

X-box maybe good but its about time it gave up, it hasn't got enough good titles and the ones they do have can be enjoyed on the other platforms so the few gamers that have an x-box can stop hogging them.

And if you are a mature gamer like the X-box is (which it is) then you'd know that the gamecube concentrates on fun light hearted gameplay hence the cute graphics not serious realism which is done more successfully on the PS2. Sadly the X-box is just a Pc/PS2 hybrid that shouldn't be on the market with the utter crap it contains.

"Yeah mate"

What the hell are you actually on? Drugs? Are you drunk? Psycotic? What?

You don't think the GameCube (GC not GG you fool) will make it to September? Sure... Why did the X-Box drop £100? Because they are scared of GameCube, so what did Nintendo do? Drop the price AGAIN. And its already more popular than X-Box in 3 days.

I would only buy it for Halo. GC has kiddy games? Oh for gods sake I cant even be bothered to list the mature titles. Actually, I dont care. It I enjoy the game, then I dont care.

I dont care. I dont care. Stop boring me with you pathectic "Comebacks" if you could even call them that. Go jump on your X-Box or something useful.

HOW DO YOU KNOW? Do you work for Microsoft? NO! Do you know what it can do? NO! DOA3 had 18 million per second for each character and the backgrounds were 100 milliom per second, PGR 50 million per car, Halo 120 million for the enviroments and 20 for people, you are such fools, I research consoles and look into them not just buy this easiest one, the X-BOX is for mature gamers over 18 and you just can't handle it.
