Why would you wanna buy an Xbox when you could buy a full spec PC, this so called Xbox its just like a pc but your using your tv and not a monitor.

Whats this new XBOX LIVE another scheme to boost sales!! Well sure, to use it you'll need to buy a pack with mic etc costing $49 in America. $49 all they asking for to boost popularity, yeh right.

Why would you want a Xbox, it may have good graphics but thats all. Long live the SONY with their PS2.

An 800 quid price differece might be one.

Every thing Sony, MS and Nintendo do is in an effert to boost sales. Xbox Live sounds rather special actually offereing something completly new but im guessing you don't have a clue about it.

Why?

That was his opinion. He explained why as well. Get down of your throne. I could just say you are a fanboy of the XBox and don't listen. Because thats exactly what you just did.

Guys, just let this topic sink to the bottom.

This guy just has a very bad case of fanboy-itis.

Metal Gear Solid 2 Substance is coming out on XBOX, PS2 and GC at the end of the year, so XBOX and GC will have one of the PS2 so called exclusive games.

P.S before you have a go at me for being a Xbox fan I have owned my PS2 since day 1, have owned my Xbox since day 1 and will have a GC in a few weeks.

Hmm, Da Xbox will never get great games such as Grand Theft Auto, or Metal Gear Solid, you may get them one day but whens that, when the Xbox is suffering just like the dreamcast, where did the dreamcast go in and out in a matter of months. How many sales have Sony made hey over 30 million and now how many sales has our MR GATES made, it can never match Sonys total, just wait until PS3 comes out then all you XBOX users once again see SONY rule the gaming industry.

Im better off using my PC to play games, its far more better.

What are you talking about? I had a PS2 for nine months and it was the most over-hyped console I have ever played! Do you install games on the Xbox? Do you need to upgrade the MHZ or RAM? Does it require the latest DX to run it? NO! Maybe because Sony rapped you up in their little world of non-sense is down to the fact you are one of the dumbest people on these forums, put your PS2 down and buy a Dreamcast, I can guarentee that within 1 week you will have sold your PS2! It is the same with the Xbox, great console, great games and unfortunatey jelous fan boys like you can not accpet the fact that Sony have cheated their way though the PS2 sales, they have promised so much and not delieverd as much as they said. Sure, the PS2 has GTA3, MGS2 and Pro Evolution, but apart from that how many games can you say you play day in and day out? I can say that I play Dead Or Alive 3, Project Gotham Racing and Halo every single *DAY*, the fact that the Xbox has had a 1 year defesit from the PS2 seperates the consoles completeley. For every 1 OK PS2 game produced there are 50 other ones that don't even warrant Sony's name on the front of the case!

> Wait until PS2 come out with their hard disk drive with ethernet
> access!!

LOL, and what do you think that wil run on? Bacon and Eggs? ADSL/Broadband will be required for that so why have you just condemed the Xbox for requiring a Broadband service to run? FOOL! Is the PS2 Hard Drive that was promised to be released 1 year after the launch of the console in Japan? Is this the Etherenet modem (Etherent is nothing special it just means you don't have to run the modem through your PC to play and the Xbox has an Ethernet port) that doesn't have a set release date and hasn't yet released any information on price/availablity or what it can actually do? YES, now I remember its that PS2 add-on that *ISN'T* released yet and in fact it may never be released!

Go back to your hole, crawl in it and... (Finish the story off before I get more annoyed)
