a console to tyde you over until PS3

[raptor]

well. XBOX has some competition! the new    phantom console from infinium labs looks to compete with the XBOX!

Nothing will be better than the PS3 but that is still a long time to come.

everything will be better than the shitstation 3.

ps3 has the dark shadow of the ps2 hanging over it. shoddy design. why is there a button with the universal "power" icon on the front, when the power switch is on the back?

oh yeah... you STILL HAVE TO RESET IT.

SCHIZOID DESIGN. the thing doesn't know which way is "up". some of the case design makes it look like it's supposed to lay flat. some of the design proves that it's supposed to stand straight up. see what happens when you let people with the design sense of an american carmaker build a game machine?

oh yeah, good thing that it's gonna take two revisions for sony to catch up to the Dreamcast. you'll never actually hear me knock the XBox, because even though it's MS, I actually like it on its own merits. I wish Sega made the thing and called it Dreamcast 2 or something like

UBERGENECASTER

or

THE GAME COMPUTER THAT WILL KILL YOUR MOMMA

or maybe

SUCK IT SONY

XBox has problems, not the least of which is microshit, along with shitty DVD support (just go get a goddamned $50 DVD player you cheap bastards), and a lack of games that's actually starting to improve COUGHSTARWARSCOUGHKNIGHTSOFTHEOLDREPUBLICCOUGHSTARWARSCOUGH

seeing from the fact that there are absolutely no pictures of this console (just 3d renderings).  I believe it will never materialise.

Also I have to agree with Jimmy on how crappy the PS2 is and how crappy the PS3 will be.

Shitstation 2. that's all I gotta say.

Gimme a Nintendo, or an Atari any day.

I also just saw that ps3 site.

XDR RAM? please. that's as bad as "XM Radio". Using bastardized acronyms that sound like real technical terms is about as shitty as you can get.

SUCK IT SONY. Suck it long... and suck it hard.

But it's obviously Xtreme Data Rate RAM! Radical Dude!

If Nintendo wants to jump into bed with Microsoft then let them both go down together I suppose. Too bad, I've always been a fan of Nintendo.

That phantom looks cool, I wonder how well it will sell.

So what your saying is that you have to "pay" to install linux on a PS2.  Also assuming you need a hard drive and a network card to run linux "well."  So that would mean another $140.  What a rip.

I installed linux on my XBox for free.  Just to see if I could do it.  I'm using GentooX Home.  I plan on removing it.  It takes fucking 3GB.  But is fun none the less and free and legal.  No contravention of code was required.

Sure you have to pay, but this way its available to the average idiot.

oh ya... the average idiot is gonna be able to run Linux actively.  I think not.  Linux is THAT easy.... yet.  But I think it could be.  If somehow this compiling software thing would disappear linux would be a "piece of pie" as said by the russians in 2010.

yes, then we could have a closed source binary operating system where the user has no control over their software if and when something goes wrong... hey, wait a minute...

I've never used any software that required me to compile it, what are you talking about? can you give an example of an application you have to compile?
