Should I upgrade from my PS2 to a Xbox or GameCube and when?
There are a few games starting to appear on XBox that look good. A few more, and I might consider getting an XBox.
There’s a couple of games on GameCube as well that are ok, perhaps in a few months time, the GC will be the one to get.
What other “exclusive must have” games are due on XBox and GameCube in the next few months?
Should I upgrade now, b4 Xmas, or next year?
The lack of DVD on GC is not a problem for me (i have a standalone DVD anyway).

Yes, thats nigh on correct.

Ahh, but you lost it here, I'm English, not French. ;)
Oh well Tribute, back to the drawing board, guess that short flicker of inspiration you had was exactly that - a short flicker. ;)

It was a sly remark, silly boy. ;)
If I were serious, I'd sit around posting "vote for me" topics like some pillock, on the day of election.
See if you can fathom the meaning from a few of these cue words:
Trinket
Meaningless
Status
"Lack thereof"
Desperation
Have fun. ;)

No, no. That's something you ought to be doing, oh "adn" remember to watch for those typos too. ;)

No need, it's a case of one per post minimum, for you. ;)

Awww... so after you instigated things by being cocky, without reason, you're running off in a sulk? Shameful. ;)

I'm not being biased that is not a view it is a fact and I never said any of the games I liked were innovative.
And I never said rellying on thrid party games was bad I just said that it is better in my oppinion (so not to distress your little brain anymore)That it is better to have something to call your own that will bring in the sales to your company. Finally I really can't be bothered correcting you anymore simply because you can't be bothered reading and further more Your acting like a JAT whose just bought his first console and has nothing better to do than brag about it.
P.s. If my statements aren't full enough for you to understand why should I dumb them down to your level? ALthough I doubt even if I explained it all in under 4 letter words you'd understand.

Sorry kid, but my looks are certainly in no need of concealing. ;)
Resorting to childish insults already? You must be getting quite desperate. ;)

He's formulating his response, adn checking for spelling errors.
How much do you bet he will post out my typo that I made in a previous post. I've had enough. I'm going to do something more more interesting. If he insults me, I don't care, because it means nothing to me.

I suppose games like Halo, Timesplitters 2 (multi-platform btw, also third party, not by Microsoft), Burnout etc. are innovative then are they? Do they redefine specific genres? Or even add an entirely new one?
Your views are biased, not to mention flawed, plain and simple.

Why not? (Assuming you meant "rely") Everyone else does it. It's certainly no indication of quality. Even your beloved Microsoft, or did you forget the fact that they've bought out RARE, so that RARE make games FOR them.
You really haven't put forward any valid points on why third party development is a bad thing, merely a number of incomplete thoughts, which serves little purpose other than to make amusing viewing as you talk yourself in circles.
