Obviously you have a problem with me
SO lets get it out in the open
You insist that Xbox will be more than $400
I say MS isn\'t stupid, you even PM\'d me about how stupid you think MS is over at IGN forums
SO why not let it all out here son. Give me reasons why Xbox is going to be $400, even though Me, and You and everyone else in the entire world Knows Xbox will be a huge failure at $400.
Prove yourself right and me wrong.
I\'ll be watching for your responce

C\'mon ppl. ddaryl, I know you\'re mad about all the mindless XBox bashing, and I think most people are. I may be pro-Sony, but I\'m not anti anything. All I\'m saying is, don\'t go crazy, either of you.
-
DING! DING! DING!
Actually i agree. Obviously their is a problem between you two. So you need to settle it in
this thread and get all the anger off your chest, so you wont be getting on each other
nerves as the weeks go by.

Don\'t do it Chrono... it\'s only going to make things worse!
-
Mods shouldn\'t be incouraging these kind of situations... I\'m disapointed in you ddaryl.
BTW-what the **** did Chrono do?
-
Its better for them to argue here rather that the main forum. I\'d kinda like to know why Chrono thinks it will be $400.00.

ddaryl got mad because people kept on posting topic\'s that said the x box is going to cost 400 g\'s. ddaryl locked it, and then Chrono posted the topic up, then thats when sh*t started happenin.
-
yea i think this is stupid personally
it will just be a show for on lookers - if you wanna ***** to each other find some way to do it privately
plus i think you are blowing this way out of preportion DDaryl, which isn\'t like you at all
you are starting a bad example for people that disagree in the future - plus you know this will settle nothing but bring about more conflict
-
Chrono reposted the topic and put
DDaryl, face it, you lost
in the subject line
THATS WHAT Irritates me.
If he would\'ve just reposted his thoughts on the subject I would not be as pissed off !!!!!! ( I would have closed the topic again and asked him not to do it again) BUT he had the nerve to post my name in the subject line and proclaim victory on a debate we never had, any one of you would have been equally pissed off at that.
I didn\'t want to debate him in the main forum on it so I came here.
Now it would be nice if this thread can get left alone so me and Chrono can dance

yea i understand that and it was wrong but why carry it out - do feel any less of a man becasue he claimed he won even though he didn\'t - we all new that there was nothing to win so why make a big deal of it.
Now it would be nice if this thread can get left alone so me and Chrono can dance
with the buzz of your quarel, do you really think people will leave this thread alone - c\'mon you know exactly what is gonna happen?
what kind of solution is this to a simple problem...?

ddaryl, I never knew you likesd X-box as much as you do. Are you a turncoat, or have you always liked the X-box?
-
He\'s just talking bull**** ddaryl! He knows damn well the system will not be $400 but now he has a challenge and if he loses he looks like an ass.
I\'ll bet anyone here that it will NOT cost $400!

its not that he loves the xbox - he has stated against it many a times - but he has never bashed it
he is tired of false things being posted about other systems by members of our forum - he doesn\'t want us to end up being a place to bash other systems

How can the Xbox cost over 400 if the manacfacturing price is 400??? PS2\'s manacfacturing price is over 400 too Chrono, and you don\'t see it anywhere near 400.
-
What the hell? Do you expect the moderators have no opinion? They have opinions. Plenty of people have posted these type of topics before. But, now that a MOD does it, everyone is up \'n\' roar?
There is also no reason to call Ddaryl a "turncoat".
The xbox won\'t be over $400 or even $400. I guess it for right at $300. MS isn\'t stupid. Do I like MS? No. But they are not stupid and they will not enter the market like complete idiots. Some people allow their biased views of MS to distort the fact that MS isn\'t stupid. Just like some of you claim that MS is already trying to get a monolpy on the industry, when they have done nothing of the sort.
This thread is a good idea. Just like when Billy and Alter had their "problems". A thread was started and everything was settled. Chrono needs to do the same. Get all this stuff out and move on.
I\'d also, on the note like to mention something. I\'ve seen a few people telling others to "shut up" and etc. There really isn\'t a reason for that. I\'ll agree it is impossible for everyone to get along all the time. But lets try and keep threads civil.

Where is Chrono
For the record I do like Xbox, I have one on pre-order but I am waiting to see some product. If it has some games I want to play some games in dev that look good your damn right I\'ll get one, why the hell wouldn\'t anyone.
I see alot of people on this forum hyping Gamecube, and I see it as just another N64. Sure it\'ll have some power, but it will play Nintendo games, and in all honesty. Nintendo can go **** themselves
But thats my opinion. I do not think nintendo games are that great, nor do they strive to make games for my demographic
BUT I don\'t go around finding bogus articles that state negative GC news post it on this forum.
WHY, cause I still respect those people who like Nintendo, and I feel my opinion means nothing to them so I don\'t worry about it.
There are too many people out there who have nothing better to do then find negative stuff to say about something that they are uninterested in
If you don\'t have anything good to say, or if you can\'t say it in a constructive manner Don\'t bother saying it.

The man has spoken. Stop the BS. :crap:

I will say only one thing
When they release the actuall price, and its 400 dollars, you will NOT hear then end of me...
Nvida stuff is not cheap
IF the x-box did not include a hardrive or modem, then I would have no problem thinking it would be 300, however it does, and it will. I obviously have nothing to back it up other then inference, but when the offical comment is released, then I will accept it...
When you close a topic, don\'t add something to the fire at the end, that article was full of ****, you have to admit it..

geez, are you asking for a deathwish or something?
-
deathwish?
if they wanna ban me, go right ahead
I\'ll have my own forum, I just don\'t think its right for a mod to close a thread then "add his own insight" with a obviously flawed article... then use it as fact from a site in ANOTHER country. I created a topic that rebuttled his statement HE ADDED, and he locked it with anger, without rebuttle like he did with the OTHER post...
Sorta like pick and choose, taking the easy way out..
EDIT:
Ddaryl, i\'m not angry at you and your views
After all, historians share differnt views
I am just distrubed with your method of closing topics... the topic deserved to be closed, but not with your comments and (HORRIBLE link)

Chrono I said state your case. Your argument is really weak. NVidia received R+D money from MS in advance you can bet MS will get NVidia chips at cost. Nvidia does this so they can keep there line running. Everyone knows the longer a product is in production the cheaper the product becomes. This benefits NVidia as much as MS. Not to mention MS has ordered MILLIONS of Nvidia GPU\'s which also insures the price is dirt cheap. Anytime you order bulk and give R+D money in advance to someone you know damn well you\'ll get that product at close to cost, and considering SOny has R+D there own chips and invested more money into its own production plants the PS2\'s GS probably isn\'t much cheaper to manufacture than NVidia\'s XBox GPU
2nd , 8GB Harddrives are dirt cheap when you order a few million of them as well, and Ethernet adapters are only $19 at your local store, there probably $2- $5 a piece when you order a few million.
3rd. Intel Pentium III are extremly chepa and gettign cheaper. The PIII probably cost 1/3 of what the EE costs, and MS doesn\'t have to recoup the cost of building 2 production plants to build them.
Overall It wouldn\'t cost MS much more than $400 to produce the Xbox maybe even $500, but MS can afford to not make a profit for the next few years on Xbox, the goal and the only goal of MS is to make the machine attractive to gamers, and make your money of periphials, online subcriptions, and Games.....
What you did on the main forum Chrono was unlike you. Its your own diehard hatred of MS and XBox zealots thats clouding your judgement.
MS will not sell Xbox at $400, you know, I know, every persos who\'s ever bought a game console knows it will fail miserably if its close to 2x\'s expensive as recognizable brands. Do you HONESTLY believe that Xbox will be priced to fail, or is that what you want to happen.
The gaming industry is big enough for 3 major players now, 4 would\'ve been crowded but 3 can play, and it will only make the industry better in the long run.
