What about the PS2 then?

Let's look at the evidence, shall we?

1. Sony released updated drivers for the DVD remote. Excuse me?! If UPDATING DRIVERS isn't a PC thing, then I don't know what is!

2. You can buy LINUX for your PS2. This is just beyond belief. You can buy:

Linux (for PlayStation 2) version 1.0 software
Monitor Cable Adaptor
Internal Hard Disc Drive (40 GB)
Network Adaptor (Ethernet) [10/100 Base-T]
USB Keyboard & USB Mouse (for PlayStation 2)

Check out: http://www.us.playstation.com /product_detail/product_detail.jhtml?PRODID =337933&CATID=490 (SPACE!)

if you don't believe me.

Which console is nearest to a PC now, eh?

:-D

because he's a sad/bias PS2/Xbox owner who is jealous/annoyed at the Gamecubes success and has nnothing better to do but moan about Nintendo as it's the only thing he lives for. :D

Tell me something TN, why are you so sadly desperate for the GameCube to fail?

No, this has been reported by many technical websites who analyse the machines's performance. As for the games-on-other-consoles issues, it takes a bit of work to get the best out of the PS2, and many developers can't be bothered. Plus it's a known fact that they always try harder when porting to other consoles to attract more people to buy the game becasue they think it's superior.

Err.....not really, seeing as I did not create/find that information, adn the PS2 graphics are the best in your opinion, when gaems on GC, XBox and PC are not made on the PS2 because they are too power consuming.

Well that's just wrong, seeing as the PS2 currently has better graphics than any game seen before on any platform - including the PC.

And the GameCube is supposed to be "so easy" to access, you'll get 100% graphics from day one. Still want to wave that flag?

Nice one!


and GC in itself is (apparently) more powerful than BOTH the other main consoles.

No. I tell them the GameCube is built to play games and not to try and be anything else. Thats why they must buy it before leaving this shop. :-D

Use Kazaa Lite. It's a hacked up Kazaa to remove all the trojans. Just serch for "Kazaa Lite" in google, it's the top hit.

Nope! Not through want of trying though!

I refuse to install Kazaa because I recall reading it has some Trojan thing in it. MP3.com keeps timing out on me on the signup screen!

I'll try again tomorrow. Going to go to bed and watch Alias now. :-)
