All Things Microsoft > Microsoft Hardware
---I still hate windows--
alazar:
I think that all you people saying the Xbox sucks, should buy all 3 of the next-gen systems and try the best games on each(In other words their 'flagship' titles)
I bought a PS2 a half year after they came out, I was very happy! Then my friends got Xboxes, finally after a half year of saying all things M$ are evil I went to one of their houses and played all their xbox games, the controller was a little big but I was stunned by the graphics and game play.
But, I still hated M$ so I bought a GC instead of a Xbox, oh god did I hate it! I bought 2 games with it-super smash bros. and star wars rogue commander or something like that---Then I rented Resident Evil... oh that game looked wonderful, but I hate Resident evil so it didn't really help that the game that got many people to buy a GC(Resident Evil) Was great but looked to be the only good game on GC.... About 2 weeks after purchaseing the GC I returned it, and will be selling its games a controller and memory card once i can get to the big city.
Upon returning it to the local wal*mart I purchased an Xbox and Halo, the system may not look as cool as the PS2 or GC but, the quality makes up for it! Who cares if there aren't a whole lot of 3rd party developers for Xbox?(in my opinion there are many) because the games Microsoft Studios is going to realease by the end of this year are actually Innovative(imagine that from M$!) they look like they'll be great fun; the online plan for Xbox(Xbox Live) is going to beat the hell out of the PS2's and GC's!
I wont be buying many Xbox games till the end of the year when the best ones are out, but if I take my time halo can occupie almost all my gameing needs...
The only reason I am not selling my PS2 and its games and memory card, is because there will be games exclusive to PS2 and GC(no Xbox =( ) The only Nintendos I have enjoyed useing since the SNES are the Gameboys
Xbox sales are extremely low b/c no one in foreign countries trust an american console, and because it doesn't have many games out yet; that will change by the end of this year because of the release of about 200 great games. But I predict that its success will be short lived because within two years after the end of this year(so about 3 years) The PS3 will come out and kick everythings ass!
If you're younger sibling respects you and actually looks up to you they will most likely play the games you like. Therefor not all kids like 'kiddy' games.
My younger brother(6 yrs old) plays games that I like or liked, and despises games I despise or despised, that means he loves the violent games..... the only reason I play games is to release frustration(from things like life in general) so mostly I play games that take my mind away from what happend that day, by either killing something, completeing a glorious magickal quest, winning a strategical battle against a intelligent opponent, or saveing people in some game.
Games like pikman just frustrate me more because they are like childrens puzzles(wasn't ever really good w/ puzzles)----

I have been reading posts here, do you fuckers even know about any games in development for the Xbox??? Probably not the way you are talking--- If you think the PS2 can beat the Xbox you are a pure idiot, or just really ignorant!
There will be no original games for the Xbox?***WRONG*** I think that Project Ego comeing out for Xbox is going to be one of the most original games on any console.
Have you noticed almost all of the PS2's BEST games have/are being ported to the Xbox with better graphics,more levels,and more extras??
For instance:
MGS2 - Is comeing to Xbox with VR Missions and better graphics(prolly more I dunno about)
Too bad I already own it on PS2 or Id buy it on Xbox. read some decent reviews/previews of games not ones off of thoses anti-M$ sites; try an unbiased sources like:
http://www.xengamers.com/
^they have reviews/previews etc... for all next gen consoles(PS2,GC,Xbox)
you alternative OS ppl are supposed to be smart, evidentally you aren't in 'the advanced group' in consoles.
It is only logical for games like FF to be brought to the Xbox, it is the better system.(believe me I have bought and tried them all!)
Calum:
the problem with getting everybody to buy all three, is that then Microsoft gets all the money.
Personally i prefer the megadrive, and all the consoles i have right now are second hand. (i did buy an atari2600 and a master system new when they came out, but they are long gone now)
Oh yes, and i should say something like "and i was totally blown away!" or "the visuals were fantastic! what great special effects!" since that's the sort of thing people go for when they talk about consoles...

well if it's wrong, then why did you just say it, dumbass? i don't think anybody here (and certainly not me) has said there would be no new games for the xbox, how would M$ market it if that were the case? think, okay?

ho hum, no i haven't, but then i don't actually care much. by the way, anybody can post a URL, you know, i could probably find the URL for the ku klux klan if i tried, and post it, but it wouldn't go anyway to proving that blind moronic racism and violence is a good idea.

is that right? says who? did i come on here and say "i'm smart" in a lot of posts or something? no.

Oooooh! handbags at dawn. What an insult, also i think a comment about how somebody must know nothing just because of their preferences of game console is a little stretched. It's just a computer game console!

Surely the choice is aesthetic? i will never buy an Xbox because M$ make me sick. the XBox is a marketting tool, designed to ensnare the doped down loyalties of the current teenage generation. It is entirely immaterial whether or not it is in fact any use.
With people swanning around saying "xbox is better, U mugz R dumm!" then, the marketing will succeed. How long do you think the xbox will continue to be supported? i'll give you a hint, Microsoft no longer support any versions of windows except win2000 and winXP. And maybe winME, but i'm not sure.
the planned obsolescence of an M$ product is about 2 years, for most efficient turnover.
alazar:
Yes, I do know that most M$ products get dumped within 2 years, but I am giving Xbox 3 until the PS3 comes out...
And about it makeing me loyal to M$??? bah, whatever man. I still despise windows, but linux takes a little too much time for me to work with-but most likely once i get cable I will dl and install redhat or suse.
and I did not 'just find and copy a link'
I actually go to and read reviews and previews(mostly the later) on games for my 2 systems(remember I sold the GC)
If you want some good reviews for any of the 3 next generation consoles take a peak at http://www.xengamers.com
Oh yeah here is a cool PC game, go into the forums and ask them for a linux port!
