Why do you hate Xbox?

does anyone else agree with me that xbox will follow the the same road as 3DO? if i wanted to play computer games, i\'ll get a computer. judging from the current crop of games being demoed for xbox, they all look like ps2 knockoffs. halo was great when it was demoed at Macworld years ago, like oni, it faded fast after time.

But really,I\'m a multi console guy for those who don\'t know.know X-Boxe\'s limitations and it\'s advantiges,same goes for the PS.2.
Not sure if I\'ll buy a box or a Cube,or if I\'ll buy either of\'em.

There is that price issue again.  If the PS2 was affordable in your minds then the Xbox will be as well.

I agree. If you could afford a PS2 surely you\'ll be able to get an Xbox. And perhaps it\'s vaporware... But so was PS2 until late November 2000 (or March 2000 in Japan). I hardly think MS and J. Allard hypes something that won\'t be released. I guess we won\'t see GC either then...

I dont hate the X-BOX by how can you say Halo and mgsx will be worth it when you havent played either

I only think MGS 2 and GT3 are great out of those and thats because ive played the demo for MGS2 so i know its going to be good and i played the previous GT game so i know its going to be good

Why contradict yourself?

Bossieman has nailed it for me. PS2 represents the future, Xbox is an attempt to reach for the maximum possible using the old PC architecture. Offering a promise of the box being 3x more powerful than PS2... okay, maybe. Three times more fantastic than what PS2 is showing now? No way, not even close.
 
Right or wrong, I think most everyone sees the dislike for the xbox as spillover hatred for MS. With its closed OS maintaining a stranglehold on any real competition, MS gathered mega wealth and major resentment by selling licences and upgrades for a buggy operating system they alone are allowed to tweak at the roots. In effect holding the industry back more than moving it forward.

So Billy boy decides to enter and dominate a playground with a level field. Does it surprise or dismay anyone that many of us chillies expect to see him leave with his pants down around his ankles?
