Just face it people, look at the title. Anything sega do sucks. And microsoft making consoles just doesn't work. The Game Cube is also already starting to go down to China Town and the PS2 is Taking over the world.
If you can't beat em, join em.

Look Tom just face the truth and get with the program. Your kind has expired.

Anyway, how the hell am I supposed to bury my head in a motorway... it's made out of concrete. I suggest you put your head in a swimming pool of wee. :)

well my opinion is that X-box sux. I've not been trying to persuade anyone else it sux by saying You have to like PS2 more I've been saying my opinion and people have been arguing back calling me things for it so understandably you have to say somit back to them. Anyway they can chew grass like COWS... COWS I TELL YOU.

I eat used tea leaves with a bit of sugur. Its good for my karma. Its not really but I do eat used tea leaves.

By the way Microsoft ARE the richest company in the world. I suppose i was being a bit harsh when i said Halo wasn't that good. I still think that X Box will not win the Console wars.

I don't even like PS2, Xbox or Sega, but I don't go around shouting it to people in their faces acting all childish (like a certain someone we all knew called TOSH). I Just accept my own opinion and respect others, so why can't you go get yourself banned somewhere else ( for example in the PS2 forum perhaps).

Oh yeah, this bit particularly cracked me up.

Not My Material!!!

Star Wars: Obi-Wan - More like "Star Wars: Obi-Wanna-Play-A-Different-Game." Poor AI, poor controls, boring environments. Any non-geeks care to play this? Doubtful.

From a web page my friend gave me as he hates X-boxes too.


THIS IS NOT MY MATERIAL. I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR IT!!! A PERSON CALLED MADDOX TAKES CREDIT!!!

Take existing hardware, throw it together in a big clunky box and call it a console. Everything about the system reeks of poor design. Rather than getting a hand full of the most talented game developers in the world (here's a hint: YOU WON'T FIND THEM MAKING PC TITLES IN THE US --GO TO JAPAN) and designing a system around the games from the ground up, Blackley comes along with an unlimited supply of stupid ideas about the gaming industry and designs a system that he himself admitted to being "little more than exposed cards with processors and graphics chips hooked to a monitor." What more, once he senses the impending fizzle of the launch, he bails from the company to work someplace else--where he'll inevitably spawn more stupid ideas. (The creator)

It's been almost one full year since the launch of the Xbox and so far the only game that doesn't suck as much as everything else on the system is Halo. Everything else is either out on another console, mediocre or a boring PC port. The first person shooter (FPS) genre is best done on PC, period. The Xbox library of games is flooded with pants titles like "Azurik": games that seem more like projects for computer science majors in their senior year at college than professional products. I would rather be shot than have to play one more uninspired ho-hum platform title starring some stupid cat or some random guy that runs around bumping into other vague uninspired objects.

This has to be by far the pooiest controller packed with a home console ever. What were they thinking? Over 25% of the surface area on the controller is wasted by a giant green Xbox jewel--you know, in case you forget what system you're playing in between loading screens. You can seriously drop the controller onto a cat from 5 feet and break its back... so I've heard.

What Microsoft should have done was team up with Sega to buy all their unsold Dreamcasts and just use them as controllers for the Xbox. It probably would have been smaller than the 8 lb atrocity that they have now.

And there is way more. I'll pick the best bits out and post them. The X-box sux.
