Shouldn\'t this belong some where else like........

The Delete Pile ?

For Example ;)


i mean we could point out the fact that the X box Stole the Dreamcast controller , Or the fact that you can House the homless of Scotland within on X box Unit !

now then that would be funny ...........

This was some prototype Atari design.  I have no problem with this, Atari rules!  Don\'t forget that the entire home videogaming market was invented by Atari.  No matter where you go, Atari\'s been there before.

I would like to see the link to the original site they got the pic from.

BTW:That XBOX site is one of the most biased and bigot sites.They even make XBOX sound like somekind of a religion sometimes.

XBOX stole more then just the DC controller..they stole the PS2 and N64 controller and just ported the PC SideWinder Controller as well...in other words the XBOX controller is a lil from every platform into 1

Looks familiar but Sony did it 10x better. I would definately hesitate to put THAT thing on my entertainment center.

I dunno, this whole thing was kind of interesting when it was first revealed oh . . . like 6 months before the Japanese PS2 launch!!!!  Geez, talk about old.

It looks somewhat familiar with the ps2. They only stole the overlapping top, and the vertical position. But it is pretty dumb how all these people get ALL OVER the subject and start to say stuff about unoriginality. Its just like saying the xbox, psx, snes, gc and n64 are all unoriginal.

Hey you gotta start somewhere!

Ok, so there were some pong machines before the 2600.  If that\'s what you were talking about then you\'re right.  I was not strictly correct, but not far wrong either.

FWIW, I\'ll take the PS2\'s looks over the Xbox plain-jane vanilla looks anyday.

I remember this atari system...since it was talked about in this very forum (and other forums as well). PS2 comparison abound.

The important thing is what is inside. Inside the Sony PS2 is the best hardware ever made. Ohh!! and don\'t forget the games:D

Oh my not even would I stoop this low, you truly are pathetic. Let me ask you this, just what the F**K do you think Sony has been doing. What a dumbass you are, I usually I don\'t call people under such harsh names but you really have proven to be a ps2 bigot

Yeah keep telling yourself that every night before you go to bed, maybe the tooth fairly will come along and grant you that wish.


LOL, this sure is one heck of an interesting post as well as a sad one. Here we have someone post a funny pic of psx2 and alot people get upset, but not only that a few even decide to turn it around on the XBOX, how sad.  Now if someone posted a funny xbox pic, everyone here would laughing. Some of you guys, not all, need to go outside and clear minds, seriously

Nah.I dont beleive in tooth fairies.:D

Who got upset?Show me.Only fanboys.And the majority of gamers here arent.Fanboys even if they are PS2 fanboys are ignored.Find me one that got upset.We are happy with the PS2 design.And nobody cares.Is there anyone in this forum that is going to stop liking PS2 because of this?Nope.


You are the one laughing at the PS2 but gets upset when someone posts something not so positive about XBOX.Proof?See your post.You are so upset you use bad names.

Have I used bad names on you?No.

I am not laughing at this picture, when did i ever laugh at this joke, please why don\'t you go and show me and while your at it stop putting words in my mouth.

Now i\'m not mad, but of course I am going to get upset when i see all of this hypocricy, also when someone posts funny pics of the xbox, i\'m usally the first to be laughing at them. I have a sense of humour you obviously don\'t. Go back to your little hole, your better off there, you just keep making an ass of yourself here.

My first post in this thread was very valid indeed, but instead you come in here and try and turn it around on me. Matter of fact your part of the problem i was describing, just look what you said in this thread

Its 3:25 in the morning I am writing ya know.I ment that this aint going to affect people\'s opinion about PS2\'s design explaining that XBOX bigots are the only ones that care/give attention.

Hypocricy about what?There are PS2 owners that laugh at PS2 funny pics too.
You dont know me well enough.
Also you are the first that mentioned funny pics.The thread was not about a PS2 funny pic.
You are saying I am making an ass of myself.Thats your opinion about me.I am not telling you how I feel about you when you speak to me like that.

Yes I know XBOX365 is the worst thing since bad breath, those guys are pathetic.

Anyhow I do apologize if I insulted you in any way, but you have to admit those quotes I posted in my first thread were uncalled for and just pathetic.

I see no similarities between the PS.2 and that Atari thingie :p j/k

But why people are getting upset and saying this MS propaganda is beyond me, just laugh and forget about this.

And since we are showing console similarities

the Sony Xplode amp looks quite similar to the X-Box

tee hee :p

My point is, we can always say that this company is copying the other company, it\'s hard to come up with an innovative design the pleases everybody.

Indeed No-one. I remember someone posting that pic before.

We can look at alot of designs out there and trace them back from somewhere. I mean that\'s where idea\'s come from we see something, store it in our brains and use it as reference to our new idea\'s.

Post by: Coredweller on August 31, 2001, 06:35:47 PM
I think the XBox vs. Xplod is a weaker comparison... unless you think a company can trademark a letter of the alphabet.  The Xplod is much flatter and more, um.. um, compact :D  And besides, how many ways can you build the X shape into a box?

This post brought to you by the letter B.[/COLOR]

Eh... I\'m glad everything worked out, but I still wish there wasn\'t an argument in this thread. ._.;

Maybe I should\'ve linked to the article talking about the Atari console directly instead of showing the Xbox365 article... Hmm... Oh well, whats done cant be undone I guess. :(
