I don't think I've seen anyone call the X-box rubbish because of it's size. If people have, then they deserve a kick up the backside. Is a Jumbo Jet rubbish because of it's size? If it was smaller it wouldn't be a Jumbo Jet. The only reference to the console's size I've seen is either from X-box fans accusing 'Ninties' of moaning about it, or from Dark Mark and his very humourous comments about needing a team of architects to design it.
I have, on many occasions, seen people criticise the GameCube because of cosmetic reasons though. Colour, size and even the fact it has a handle! So bloody what? The console is only the shell for the hardware!
Comments about the controllers. I find the X-box controller really uncomfortable. I've got large hands so that can't be the reason for my discomfort. Whatever the reason is, I still find it uncomfortable. That doesn't mean everyone else finds it comfortable, just the same as if you find it comfortable, it doesn't mean everyone else does.
To me, the GameCube controller is the most comfortable controller I've ever used. I used to think that of the Dreamcast's controller before the GameCube, so no one give me that "Ninty" crap. Not everyone has the same opinions and we all have the right to express them.
Daveus for some reason believes that we, who don't necessarily enjoy the X-box as much as other consoles we've played, have no right to our opinions. Infact, as you may be aware, he told me...sorry, ORDERED me to get out of the X-box forum because of my opinions! Why he thought he had the authority to do so I do not know and I will take this up with the staff if I have to. If everyone who likes or has liked previous consoles in the past wasn't allowed to post in here, the X-box forum would be empty!
Debation (even in mass quantities :D) is what the forums are about. Some people will like one console, others will like another, and some will like every one of them. That's what these forums are about! The X-box forum isn't designated for X-box fans, just X-box topics. Anyone can post their opinions. Otherwise, what are you doing here other than to see other's opinions? Oh, I forgot, you're writing long and meaningless topics to try and win the X-box game of your choice. Those of you who do only come here for the competition, get out more! If you come here for the community, for entertainment value, for opinions and discussions on gaming matters - AS WELL as to hopefully win a game of your choice, then good for you.
Now this goes for everyone who reads it, no matter which forum they are in, atleast take note that other's have opinions too. There's no point in being selfish, no point in getting yourselves worked up, and in Daveus' case, there's no point in making a right fool out of yourself by trying to play Hitler! Have fun, keep the peace and just enjoy yourselves a little. I personally don't come online to see bullying, name calling, exclusion and pettiness. If I wanted that, I'd go back to school! I'm sure you don't come on here for those reasons either.
Just do me one favour....Listen.

Maybe the fact that you rant about how crap the X-Box is to customers has a little part to play in their views as well. ;-)
I sell the consoles. People do look at the sizes of the consoles and say the XBox is too big.
Its true, it makes a difference.
Its true, it makes a difference.
Thing is, until lately, most of the console size crap that I read was about the X-Box and it was very often from Ninties. Its calmed down more recently, but there was a time in Fog Chat that it seemed like every other post was some prat screaming stupid remarks about the X-Box being crap because of its size.
Back then though little was done to stop it but now theres one or two posters from here doing the same, suddenly action has to be taken.
Of course knowone has the right to dictate whos allowed on each forum, but as far as the stupid console size whining goes, thats been going on for awhile. I'm not saying Ninties deserve it back, I'm just saying that there wasn't a lot of rush with this type of post when it was the X-Box getting a verbal kicking.

I'm not picking on X-box fans. I posted this here because this its the forum I've seen it happen the most recently...especially where one or two X-box forums are concerned (eh Daveus...).
hmmmmmm, this has gone on for a long time and I am sure will continue. I dont see how your long read will make any difference.
Im afraid it covers all format discussions so picking Xbox users I think is unfair!
