Well done. Reasons. Try putting some reasons in next time you feel the need to start an 'Xbox is rubbish' topic.

Well, again, maybe try putting these in your topics rather than the totally childish comments like 'You need to build an extension to fit the Xbox in your house'.

Storyline, Weapons, Graphics, Veichles, Multiplayer, Ideas - quite possibly the best FPS i have seen since Goldeneye.

okay halo, is totally 1 dimensional, apart from the obvious improvements of the graphics i fail to see how it offers anything new from the days of DOOM. apart from some new weapons there was no originality in it. thats the main reason, and project gotham racing, im sorry to say just cant compete with Gran Turismo, or burnout (which i also find tedious)

it is too big fact,
1) it wont fit on my desk next to my tv, which the cube, ps2, psone, and snes all did,
2) the other option is to either rest it on top of the tv, which looks crap and ive caught it once as it nearly slid off
3) or put it on the floor, which is carpeted, and as anyone with any idea about electrical devices, and indeed as stated in some booklets, is not reccomended, as it can over heat, and also the dust from the carpet gets into th machine,

how many more points do u want me to raise?

and yes when i bought it i obviously didnt feel this way or of course i wouldnt have bought it, would i, state the obvious

So instead of telling us why you didn't like the Xbox you decided to just say 'it's too big'. Yes. Intelligent stuff. Why not try to give actual reasons, such as tell us what you thought of the games you played, and why they got boring etc. rather than just say 'haha look, these tech specs say that Xbox can't handle as many polygons as the GameCube, so it must be rubbish!' If you'd said you'd tried an Xbox, played Halo and some other games then got bored of them and gave reasons for why they got boring maybe people wouldn't be annoyed with you and insulting you.

Nah, people do like talking about other things. People haven't actually ceased to post in other forums/threads just because you've posted some crap. You got that many replies because people find it amusing to laugh at you and insult you. I know I do.

Anyway, is your real opinion that the Xbox is rubbish because it is big? If you owned one then I doubt that is your real opinion, otherwise you wouldn't have bought one in the first place. So unless you really do judge a console on how big or small it is then you weren't stating your opinion at all, you were just trying to start an argument. Which you pretty much failed seeing as most people just insulted you.

If you dislike the Xbox so much why do you own one...? Or were you just trying to make sure no-one could call you a biased moronic little fan-boy by lying about owning the console you started mindlessly insulting?
