Sony's and Nineties listen up, stop putting the Xbox down, stop posting sales rubbish, stop saying anything bad about the Xbox and stop it right now. Everyone in this forum is sick of this rubbish and I have had it up to my head with the non-sense that is posted in here daily. Just stop all of your rubbish, you won't find any in your forums from us in here, so why should we?

I am sick of posts entitled:

'Xbox Sucks'
'Recent Sales Figures Show...'
'The Problem With The Xbox is...'
'No good games'
'Crashing again on My Xbox'

Which console never crashes? There isn't one. When I had my PS2 it crashed 7 times in under 6 months, I have had my Xbox 10 weeks and it is yet to crash, but when it does I will just turn off the console and start again from my last save.

No good games? Oh please, I won't give you my list but I will just say this to you, I have never owned a console where I have wanted so many games but by the end of this year there are 50 Xbox titles which I desperatley want to own and that is saying something!

Today I challenged someone who was analysing the release calendar and saying that most of the 50 games were rubbish, average or not worth playing, how the hell would anyone knoe how good a game is without even playing it? Or reading a review on it?

I am not saying stop posting as there are some sensible posters that own more than the one console and have intelligent views to share who have valid points to share with us. Everyone in this forum is sick and tired of reading about how bad the Xbox apparently is. Even if the argument is balanced I think we have seen enough of the Xbox being put down.

Lets just see an end to this pointless topic and lets just enjoy what we own, at the end of the day people will only dislike you for it. There are some really nice people to talk to in here that know what they are talking about but everything is always disrupted by yet another 'Xbox is bad topic'. OK you don't like the Xbox, BIG DEAL, I am not keen on the GC but I stay well away from there but I hope they enjoy what games they have on offer.

If you have got something bad to say about the Xbox why not just keep it to yourself as by now we have heard everything that can be possibly said to put this console down and we are now all absolutley sick of it. There is nothing new to say about the console that has not already been said and argued about immensly.

I like to come on here and discuss the console I own, yes the Xbox! Just like others want to discuss there console/s on here but seem to stay away from the one they don't like, so why don't you?

Please stop posting topics against the Xbox in here as it is depressing me greatly and I am sick and tired of reading bad things about the console I like. If you have somehting positive to say then great please share it but just stop with putting the console down, we have suffered enough and most of it is utter rubbish and un-true but it still annoys me immensly. Please stop what you are doing and let us live our lives. We set an example in the Xbox forum and we usually keep ourselves to ourselves but there are so many fanoys around from other forums that need to know the difference between jelousy and the truth.

I will say nothing more on the matter, just please please take what I am saying seriously as I am speaking on behalf of this whole forum and I hope I will have the backing from you too.

Like what Er-no? What rubbish? Don't just say this I want to know what rubbish posts/topics/reviews I have done!

Anyway if thats the way you feel I will stick to replying to the ones that I get on with, that way I don't have to read what I disagree with and then get critised for thinking so.

Read my post in Wookies new topic in this forum, you have got me completley wrong and seem to be jumping onto the band waggon! Just read it, I do read other peoples views but I do not appreciate you critising me when I haven't talked to you before or dicussed anything with you! At least I have talked to Wookie and we have discussed, but I haven't even seen you before so why don't you make up your own mind instead of letting Wookie make it for you? Read my post in his thread, it explains what I am like.

Exactly who do you think you are garbe123? Is no one allowed freedom of speech if you dont agree with it? Ive read quite a bit of you mail in the forums and it appears you have a major problem with other peoples opinion. I find your veiws close to communism

In my opinion, people can't just be banned, etc for not liking a console. The posts that should be dealt with however are the obvious 2 liner posts that we've all seen. If someone doesn't like a console and puts a topic together that puts their points accross (as in backed up by what they honestly believe are the facts), then fine. The posts that need to be stopped, wether they're deleted or whatever, are the topics obviously put up simply to annoy other posters. Fair enough if you wanna do that kind of crap in your own forum, but I think its out of order to go into say the X-Box forum, then post a couple of sentances of utter tripe under the heading "X-BOX STINKS".

People who do this are just clueless prats desperately trying to make a name for themselves and get attention. Yes you can ignore them, but its still very annoying when after plenty of effort to sink the topic, they simply re-enter and pop their topic back up with another line of crap. When I go into another forum such as the Ninty one, if I have something to say against the GC then I make sure its sensible, I don't start spewing crap out like "da GC is stupid and crap cos it got dat stupid handle, hur, hur, hur."

These stupid posts are basically the language of losers. They haven't got enough of a personality to them to be noticed through decent topics so they take the route of annoying everyone and expect people who don't like the console they've just slated to flock around them and praise the "clever" thread.

Meaning??? I retaliated that once and guess what... It was in a topic that was entitled " XBOX SUCKS! ", so you wonder why I retaliated eh? If you need me to work it out for you then there is something wrong.

Nice name to call sony likers.....Anyway, yes i do get annoyed with people posting stupid threads. I Hate the ones who post threads saying xbox is crap, then telling us about some other console that they seem to believe is better. Fair enough, you might like another console.

This is an xbox forum, think before you type.
