I have an XBOX launch party as part of my work tommorrow, and I am dreading it.
Microsoft execs telling a room full of 30 people why the XBOX is better then the PS2 or Gamecube, and how Microsoft are so much better then them.
Now, don\'t get me wrong, I don\'t have a problem with being able to testdrive all 22 launch titles, I mean, hey, I get paid to go, so thats all I care about, but what am I supposed to say when the ask me what console I own?
"So, you gonna buy an XBOX"
Probably not
"Why not"?
Cause I already have a PS2 and 2 DVD players, I think anything else is glutiny.
"But this is so much better then a PS2"
Really???
See, this is my problem...
-
Just be honest and tell them that your all for the PS2 but you\'ll keep your eyes open for any good titles that may soon come out for the X-Box.:p
Then spit on their shoes!:evil:
-
ask them where\'s the A+ titles?
and why the PS2 [a two year old console] is selling twice as much as the xbox?
ask them why they are biting the hand that feeds them and cutting nvidia out of the xbox2?
oh and tell them that mm from psx2central.com is mocking them for a mediochre japan launch and an emminent europe failure
-
ahh this should be funny
ask them if they lost lost of money when they bought oddworld inhabitants out, when later their games ended up selling like crap
ask them why the xbox controller feels like a baked potato (yes I have big hands and still it feels like ot was made for a gorrila)
ask them why the xbox looks like my old air conditioning unit
ask them why they are screwing europe over by asking such a high price
ask them why kabuki warriors is one of the worst games known to mankind
ask them why PG isn\'t the GT3 killer it was said to be
oh and...ask them why bill gates is a geek

Maybe you could slap a pie in your bosses face and ask him/her to give this one to Billy!(https://psx5central.com/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.plauder-smilies.de%2Fdevil%2Fdiablotin.gif&hash=b73594999d88e46dd2f3af07a0028e92a264a366)

Walk up to them and look at the Console and say in a loud voice.
"It\'s a Bit F\'ing Large isn\'t it ! "
"My God ...look everone at the slow down on CO-OP HALO"
"Will this thing let me play that old MS classic Minesweeper ? .. i loved that old Windows 95 game"
"So are you guys worryed about the Japanese sales figures then ? "
" over 30 million PS2 in the world ... Worried ? "
"what happens if the fixed internal drive goes wrong ? "
"hey Buddy .. i bet you cant lift it with one hand ! "
"oh My Dear lord.. who hit the Staff and the console with the UGLY STICK ?"
" Aright ...anyone back to mine to play some PS2 ?
"i have i great idea do you guys want to stea.. sorry i mean buy it from me ? "
-
wals in and say, ohhhh look someone bought in a new air conditioning unit!!!
or thats one big paper weight!!!!
-
Although I\'m pro-Xbox I\'d get pissed if a bunch of M$ suits told me why their system is better than the PS2. Ask them if it\'s ok to own more than 1 console or are they grumpy old fanboys. If you see one of your co-workers sucked in by the hype tell them about the PS2 or just another console in general.
But if they don\'t imply how much better system X is over system Y then I say No Worries & enjoy the free gaming!
-
Hehehe, yeah, I have to go in about 5 hours, it should be really interesting...
I think oosevens were classic, I just might try some... I hope I just don\'t get fired.
-
Ask them if Bill Gates has a small penis.
-
:laughing: just till them I might buy one later but I\'m having fun with my PS2. Oh ask them when Halo 2 is coming. ;)
-
you can stop duping all your friends at work into thinking they are going for an \'XBOX launch party\' in the mens showering facilities..
-
Can I ask you something? Why is it that you hate the xbox so? Let me guess, "Because it sucks" right?

Well... it\'s a launch party alright. It\'s just that the Xbox isn\'t the thing getting launched.
Nah, have fun there Racer.
PS. Try and see if you can get it to show a blue screen. :D
-
just tell them "i would buy one, but I\'m not sure if my penis will fit in the disc tray", they\'ll never mention the X-box around you, ever again.

I think that one is pretty much a given!
Just walk in, calmly take a crap on it, then stroll out again!

wrong pablo
we have nothing against the xbox as a whole
in fact, several of us [including me] own one
we are just VERY quick to point out its shortcomings, and tend to bash mr gates [the devil] any chance we get
-
walk in and say.....quick call the police. somone stole the x box, and replaced it with a big black vcr!!!!!!! ( or piece ****)
or say " i was going to buy one, but after playing the games, seeing the games to be released, and seeing what it can do, i decided not to"
but seriously, it been over a day since you put this up...what did happen??
-
Well, it was certainly interesting to say the least. According to the lady who did the seminar, she said that the AUS and EURO XBOX will only have 8 Gig Hardrive (isnt the US a 40 gig?)
Also, the unit is massive, looks sooooooo ugly...
THe only thing I found really impressive was the bump mapping, and that is supposedly the only thing it can do that PS2 cant (is it true that PS2 cant do bump mapping??).
She showed a variety of tech demos, as well as some games not out in the US, such as Turok and Blood Ryen or something.
Both looked ok, nothing special. Again, the only impressive thing was the grass in HALO and the trees and Rallisport.

No the US is 8GB aswell. But some have 10GB harddrives.
But MS made it so you can only use 8GB with those anyways so.
Also, the unit is massive, looks sooooooo ugly...
Damn right.. ;)

PS2 can do bumpmapping.

Are you sure? Like, as good as the XBOX? Any games out with Bump Mapping on PS2?
The lady reckoned PS2 and Gamecube cant do it at all.
-
the lady was full of ****, PS2 can do anything XBox can do. Bumpmapping just isnt built into the hardware, meaning its up to the developers to impliment it with their own code, taking more effort
expect Bump Mapping in Jak & Daxter 2 (they were going to put it in the original as a last minute thing, but ran out of time)
not sure if there are any current games with it, Fastson will know though :)
Just walk in, calmly take a crap on it, then stroll out again!
that would be.. the single funniest moment in history.. if he were to do it..
just picture their faces!!.. PICTURE IT... grr

Hmmm, does bump mapping use major amounts of hardware??? Also, what exactly IS bump mapping? To me, it looks like 3D textures, like, they aren\'t flat, they are almost polygons...
Either that or they are just incredibly detailed textures.
Someone please explain.
