I own a great PC that I love along with my ps2 and DC. I love them all and I am going to love the X-box as well. So what if the japanese or any one else hates american products thats too bad for them. They are closed minded anyway and have greater loyaltys to thier products than americans. That might seem like a bad thing but to them it is survival. Maybe they are jealous that finally an american console is a real threat to thier change pocket or that an american machine can achieve a frame rate of 300 fps. Who cares what they think when they see it they will want it no matter what. This is a great day for gamers, american gamers. Long live all great gaming systems including the DC. Just play the game. Love it or leave it!

YOU NAZTI CONSOLE BASTARD! Whoa thats a bit harsh dont you think? I will remember that when I am playing GT3 and Drakan 2(The first one was awesome!) Thanks. Hamster I do Believe everyone is closed minded to something and in this case I believe the Japanese are closed minded to american gaming intrests. For example the Japanese resistance of American PC\'s which would promote PC gaming over there and would help american developers here is non-existent.(Ps2 is suppose to fill that nitch) Sony now is making PC\'s available here in mass numbers they see the potential. Everquest anyone? They are covering all bases. However when an american based company(MS not withstanding, but who else in the US could pull this off?) trys its hand in the gaming world is hated and shot down. PC gaming is big in europe and we get games like Sea Dogs(Russian) and Longest Journey(Swedish) dont forget Ground Control. They could help us out a little more dont you think? The Japanese are great game makers but we are getting better all we need is a chance.
next thing youll wana do is burn the ps2 on a cross lmao,

just a 428 versus a 450 (or 502! :D) You would probably beat me off the line easy as pie, but I got the extra pow to kick it into kicky fast speed!

But I still want my 68 RSSS Chevy Camaro, black on black, with a 427, 450, or 502!!! My dream car!!

it matters alot, it will mean you will only see ports from other consoles beacuse its the best way to make money. Almost all games come from japan, and if that country does not like your console, it does not bid well for the console. Plus, the x-box brings about no innovation or creativity such as past consoles have, I have no excitement towards the hype-box whatsoever and it will fail horribly in japan, yes that is my prediction but its a wait and see thing. You must also remember that not everybody can afford all consoles, and must therefore pick the best one for their tastes, and this does bring about some good compeition.

Jiggs There are a ton of reasons to dislike Microsoft beyond them being American. I don\'t mind MS and the Xbox and will probably pick one up someday, but under 0 circumstances do I want Xbox to dominate, it would be a huge step backwards and send a message to console makers that I\'d rather not see.
that message would be "Lets just make our consoles out of PC components". Gamecube has done it with Mac based PowerPC processor and ATI GPU, Xbox uses a PIII and Nvidia GPU.
I\'ll be supporting Sony the most for this reason alone, say what you will but its the hardware that opens up the possibilites to innovation,
I most likely will pick up that 2nd console and I will wait to see which one truly offers what I want Xbox or GC, most likely it will be Xbox

Reinventing the wheel is not innovation. PS2 belongs in a lab, not in your living room. What are these "possibilities for innovation" that you talk about? I\'ve heard that so many times, but no one has yet to elaborate on that bold statement. I don\'t want to play test tube games. I want to play innovative games that build on what developers already know. As long as I have a totally realistic sports or racing game that plays well, I don\'t care what methods the programmers use! What new things does PS2 offer for me??? I\'m no developer, I can care less how many vector units I can sync at a time or how efficiently I can use the bandwidth and the 4MB of VRAM. Who cares? I want games that look and play pretty. That\'s the reason we play games. Forget the low-level stuff for a minute. PS2 is nice for labs at MIT, but I don\'t want to be paying $50 bucks for a developer\'s experiment. It\'s time for developers to start building better stories and gameplay right now and stop trying to learn while they create. I don\'t think Beethoven wrote a concerto during a concert. He learned and then he created. Film studios don\'t build the cameras while shooting the movie. The use what they already have and focus on making a better plot and storyline. Microsoft realizes that and they don\'t give a hoot about "new methods" just better content. That\'s what developers should focus on and that\'s all I care about.

I have a Genesis, N-64, PSX, DC, PS2, and I will get the XBox too,,, and probably even the GC. Let me just say for the record, "THEY ALL HAVE GREAT GAMES!!!!"
So just get the system you like and play the hell outta it. Stop bickering. You sound like a bunch of little babies and I\'m about ready to spank your little bottoms :)
QuoteBleem just keeps proving that backwards compatability doesn\'t mean squat.
?, man that is one STUPID statement... what on earth does that mean anyway? On what console can you get bleem anyway?QuoteHey Chrono, a USB port is a USB port, for Xbox you\'ll just have to buy an Xbox USB device, that\'s all...at least this insures that all perepherals will work on the Xbox...can\'t guarantee that with PS2.
This also means you have to pay alot more cause there is less options to choose from... Another tatic to make more money by MS... thats all they care about it seemsQuoteI don\'t think I\'m being presumtous when I say that there will be a BleemBox PSX emulator for Xbox (with better graphics I might add).
It will not work on all games, above you were complaining that the USB perhaples would not work, what a contradictory person... LOLQuoteDVD playback isn\'t an innovation for games and for the price of a remote, you can have it for the Xbox.
Yep, go buy it, at least I have a choice to use my controller, you don\'t. MS just wants more money..QuoteOver 5000 modern gamers worldwide chose the Xbox design, so it must be modern.
another WTF is he saying... only 5000 gamers like the x-box design... how sad!QuoteTruly expandable...oh boy. So you really want a PS2 upgrade ala the 32X? Well, I\'ll be dumbfounded!
Yep, I would rather have a choice, something I don\'t have with MS, what if something were to go bad?QuoteIEEE 1394 (FireWire) is basically useless for a console, but then again, PS2 isn\'t a console it\'s a PERSONAL COMPUTER entertainment system. If you want to connect a second HDD or your Sony Camcorder up to your PS2, that\'s fine
hmm, so you mean the x-box is not a peronsal computer cause you say it is... it has a hardrive and ethernet adaptorQuoteXbox also has all pressure sensitive buttons (except the "Start" and "Back" buttons of course), so score one more for the Xbox. What\'s next? DVD medium, eh? Well, sorry but score one more for the Xbox...all games will be on DVD (you didn\'t think that you needed DVD movie playback to play games, did you? One word: Research.
In my post I said sony was the first to come up with it... but you try to defend it anyway and brag more... damn are you REALLY that bias?QuoteThe PS2 plays older games better? Sorry, but the Dreamcast does it EVEN BETTER and I\'m sure you already read my BleemBox statement
WTF?!!!?
Where can I get it!!
ohh, wait it was delayed again.. ROFL!QuoteBy matching you pound for pound and feature to feature, the Reverend thus proved that the PS2 won\'t be bringing anything new or innovative technology wise. Games wise? Well, that\'s a possibility. PS2 will have it\'s share of great games, but as far as technology is concerned, it has nothing that Xbox can\'t match (or better for that matter). All you want to do is argue and that\'s it. I had fun with this one. I actually thought you would THINK this out before you posted, but alas you have disappointed me again.
Yep, you once again prooved the x-box has done nothing new and brought nothing new to the console indsusty... damn I love how you try to ignore the case at hand... what a lamer. I THINK HE NEEDS THAT PIC AGAIN... ROFL!
