People keep going on about the size bieng important for a console but does it really matter?

Playstation 2 Is the biggest and bulkiest console so far but it has the best uses. If you didn't want to buy a game, you could buy or rent a dvd movie, or listen to your favourite music.

If you wanted an unforgetable party,you could do the three in one, which is listening to music, watching movies and showing your mates who is boss on a game.

But this isnt to say there are no problems. Sony only changed their Controller colours, not the design, they only used infra red wireless controllers which meant you needed to stay very still even if you got very angry because a boss or enemy killed you and you had to restart the whole level again, and only having two players even though its meant to be top of the range.

Gamecube is tiny compered to the Playstation 2 but at least it can have four players and have better wireless controllers, as they use waves instead of wireless.

Does this all mean you need every console to get the best games? Not if Sony had four player abilities and better wireless controllers, and not if Gamecube could play DVD's.

But still i would probably prefer to get both these consoles.

Actually, the Xbox is meant to be pretty big. The reason is that, unlike the DC and PS2, it will not vibrate or "hum". Complete silence.

It's one indication of how far MS is trying to go to get rid of their bad image as a monolpolising company.

Can we all at least agree that it's the longest out of the current consoles on the market?

Somebody, (I can`t remember) who wrote:

Have you ever seen a PS2 for real? Or are you just looking in magazines. If you have seen a PS2, then perhaps you haven`t seen any other consoles.

You'd have been better off with a Texas Calculator.

That too won't play games, but at least it's portable.

Of course it matters, if you've got a tiny c o c k no-one will f u c k you.

On a serious note my previous PC was utter s h i t and wouldn't even run new White Label games.

This is what it had to offer;

Pentium 75
1 GB of Hard Disk Space
8MB of RAM updated to 15MB
Windows 95
And A quality Microsoft Mouse


AMAZING!
