before i start my lil post i just wanna point out i dont care if i spelt stuff wrong :P)

This is for all you people dissing consoles before theyre even out, wtf is that about.

Ok, its fine to insult the rubbish looks of a console from what you have seen, but to be qwite honest who really cares about what it looks like if ure having a good time playing a clasic game.

The size of a console can annoy the hell outta you, that's a given, i mean u dont want a 10ft brick sitting infront of your sofa which u need to edge around just to get at the TV, but hey, thats to do with the ergonomics, not the looks. In my opinion if the console is of a reasonable size, has some good specs and doesnt look completely like medusa's cousin, i'm gonna take an interest in it.

Another angle on the old console wars, is the devoted "certain type of console players." Hmmm... not explained to well.... I mean the people that have bought a SNES.. then an N64... then a GC think that they will NEVER buy a different console just to carry on tradition, i dont think thats any way to buy a console, u mofos.

Another thing is the stupid marketing techniques used by the respective companies, i mean what the hell, who has a party to launch a console. Showing celebrities standing next to a console doesnt make it good. You wouldn't buy a nice hat cos tom jones sat next to it for 10 minutes would you?

know what i'm saying?

basically what i'm trying to say, is give a little bit of thought before u invest in a new console, don't be swayed by what your mates say, or whether u hate the looks. Base your decision on whether ure gonna enjoy playing on a damn good machine, with fun f***in games !

anyway, i've kinda lost the plot of what i'm saying, but if anyone wants to add any comments, or just plain shout at me, reply to this.

I always base my console purchasing on the AV outputs options. Who cares about games!

But I'e owned practically every console ever since the C64, bar the Saturn, and I KNOW that Ninty consoles are generally better.
