I think this area of the forum will have the greatest accumulation of E3 news out of any other site on the net. So many loyal fans posting so much good news about every console. I\'d prolly just stick to updating this site opening day rather then going myself as a member of the press :P

thats what I do. We can get away with bringing in any console on this channel and we know some people will agree. I basically never go to the main forum anymore, as it is all hogwash :)

Well, why go there, they will only be getting the Sony based news while we\'ll be getting the "royal" treatment so to speak.

I thought I was the only one. :D Pure Rubbish. ;)

I love the Main forum the most because it always has the latest PS2 info, but the Console Debating forum comes in at a close second. I love how every console is posted about in this forum. It makes it very convienient.

Haha, same here. Besides, being the Nintendo fanboy I am, I\'ve got nothing to contribute to the Main Forum to begin with.

It seems like every time I read check the main forum it is filled with at least 3 sets of threads all about the same thing and none of them bring anything special to the table.

so why the **** would you come to a PS2 forum to begin with
I never understood this and it leads me to believe that all diehard Nintendo fans are just meatheads since alot of there fans need to be elsewhere.
There has to be 100 Nintendo based forums that will cater to every single drop of news based on Nintendo, why a PS2 forum ????????

why, because of this great (usually) console debating forum. If it wasnt for CD, I wouldnt have a PS2, nor would I probably still be on this board.

Well, one reason I think this forum works so well is because of the mixed auidence / users. Alot of us are "old school" and have old favorites like Sega or Nintendo. Then most of us also own another system or plan on buying one or both of the new systems coming out. This allows a broad range of discussions / news and alot of times heated debates on matters, which are always interesting.

I agree
but obviously a few people here perceive this debate forum as their main forum.
I find it a tad funny

Whoa, slow down there ddaryl. I visit this forum for a number of reaons. First of all, this is a great site; a place where some of the most mature and intelligent people gather to debate. You don\'t have to necessarily like the PS2 to come to these forums, or at least I hope not. Second, Console Debate is where different consoles and its varied fans clash head to head, hence its name. What sort of console debating forum would this be if all of its visitors were all diehard PS2 fans?? Third, the past couple of years haven\'t been the most exciting time to be a Nintendo fan. Practically every single day Nintendo annoucned another delay, or that a game was cancelled, or that a third party was jumping ships. This also meant that there wasn\'t much to talk about on the Nintendo side of things. That\'s why I came here, so that I could carry out constructive debates while also learning info on other consoles, and offer my insight about a platform that I knew best should anybody have a misunderstanding. I also happen to like variety in mylife. In other words, I don\'t want to hear Nintendo news every single day; as I mentioned before, I want a little mx in my dose of info, like the latest killer-app from Sony or Microsoft. Besides, if I strictly kept myself to a Nintendo Forum, how would I be able to have discussions if everybody agreed with what I said??

yea well this is what i see happening when E3 strikes the forums
alot of stuff will be posted in the main forum and either stay there or be moved here if it doesn\'t have to do with PS2
because i am sure a lot of new people will post threads about the samething on E3 -which makes for a lot of deleted threads - the main forum will really keep the Mods busy then

You know, I never... NEVER would have thought I\'d see the day when a die hard Nintnedo fan would have said something like that about these forums. Seems we\'ve changed alot of minds in just shy of a year.
-
it all depends I come here cause I enjoy the news, the people, and all the miss information, bull**** posting of XBOX. I mean if I go over to MSXBOX all they do is praise the machine, which is fine. But it\'s also nice to go somewhere in which everybody else has opposing views.
-
Yeah I like the forums because all news on all consoles can be gained from here and most of the time its unbiased.
