no-one wants an x box cos you have to build an extension to ur house just to house the damm thing, and the idea of having a hand held controller that doesnt actually fit into ur hand, is laughable!!!!!!!

and its graphics are worse than the cube btw!!!!, its been proved in lab conditions and the choice of games is a joke!!!1

I'm not arguing over why a forum exists. Why don't you go ask the staff if they made this forum for you to write retarded crap on it?

I don't own an Xbox. I doubt I ever will. I haven't actually argued over whether the Xbox is 'good' or 'bad' because that is down to personal opinion. I was informing you that starting a topic which effectively insults the Xbox for being big is stupid. If you had any idea of what gaming was about you'd realise that the size of a console is irrelevant. If it has good games it's a good console. Polygon counts, processor speeds, the amount of onboard RAM, all the tech specs are irrelevant. Unless a console has good games it can have all the amazing tech specs in the world and still not be a good console. And you can never 'prove' one console has better games than another as how good any game is is down to personal opinion. So why start a topic insulting the aesthetics (sorry if that words too big for you) and graphical power of a console. They don't matter anyway.



>it wasnt just a argument starting statment, hense the link

Yeah, no link moron. The link was in the other, almost identical topic you started that was equally as stupid and pointless as this one. Even you can't seem to tell the difference between them. Well done.

I can disagree with everything you say if I want. And I have got my facts straight. The facts are:
- You've started a number of pointless topics insulting a console for no *good* reason.
- You've stated your purpose in life is to annoy people.
- You've insulted many people in here directly for bringing to your attention the gaping flaws in your so called 'proof' and argument against the Xbox.

Therefore no-one likes you. Come back when you can think of something decent to type.

ROTFLMAO! I was insulting you because your yet another disgrace to us GameCube owners! I own a GameCube, and if you weren't so short sighted you'd see it!

I shall soon be getting an X-Box, and though I much prefer the GameCube, I still see it to be a worthwhile purchase. It's people (to be specific - fanboys) like you that give us Ninty's a bad name.

well if "people are supposed to accept that everyone has thier own individual opinion", as you put it why dont you take ur own adsvice and accept mine, And that opinion is "that the x box is an overpriced, overhyped console", sorry if u dissagre, but hey thats life. it wasnt just a argument starting statment, hense the link and hard evidence, if u bothered to even look at it, you cant disagree with anything ive said, unless ur stupid, actually dont answer that, you'll embarrass yourself further, u silly little man, next time get ur facts right and maybe, just maybe you wont look like such a fool

Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft have money to make from whether their console succeeds or fails. And the majority of people DON'T buy a console based on the insults one console manufacturer throws at another. They buy them based on four major factors- The Price, the Advertisement, the product itself (and in the case of consoles obviously the games available on each respective console) and how widely available/ popular the console is. Some people may only take into consideration some of those factors, others will take all and others into consideration. No-one buys a console because some moron on an internet chat forum insults the competition. Ninty, MS, and Sony all fight a 'console war' of sorts, but it is not the kind of console war you are talking about. And anyway, they will financially benefit from winning their 'war' while you have nothing to gain and have just made yourself look an utter fool. Well done. Hope it was worth it.

No, people are supposed to be able to accept that everyone has their own individual opinion. In starting mindless threads insulting a console for no good reason you are telling people that they're OPINION is wrong. And no opinion can be wrong simply because it is an opinion. People are not supposed to have arguments, they're supposed to have intelligent discussions. Something you're incapable of.

I guess he's realised he's going to get banned soon and he's pretending it was a 'joke'.

Hows the extension coming along by the way?

Box car, it didn't get me worked up. No one fought each other on MSN.

Y'see, me and Herc are friends here on SR really, we were doing that to clearly take the pi*s out of what you were saying.

"no-one wants an x box cos you have to build an extension to ur house just to house the damm thing,"
----
is a valid and worthwhile point?

It's b******t! It's mindless nonsense!
