I suggest everyone else does the same, unless you can prove me wrong.


Keep your PS2, buy the Xbox, be a console whore like me. :D Get GC too.
I think, hopefully there will be great games for all systems :D

I know what I\'m gonna do, I\'m gonna keep my PS2 and wait to see how this HDD thing works out. I know I sounded really extreme and stupid but I was REALLY pissed off. Sony really screwed us this time. If you ask me, I think PS2 is gonna fail. I\'m still gonna put an XBOX ahead of PS2.

Vivi,

If you feel so screwed over by Sony. Get rid of the PS2. Miss out on plenty of great games that are coming out, and don\'t play FFx. It\'s that simple. Go over to the X-Box, and then you\'ll be regretting letting go of the PS2. I don\'t care which console fails, for I will not fail.

Hey look I am calm....I could care less if ViVI got an xbox.....

But at the same tim ehe deserves to make that decision himself with out yall putting this pressure on him to do other than what he stated.  What did he say???  he said he had it with sony and is going to sell his system....the what do yall say???  yall are like ...THATS DRASTIC!!!   well it aint to him and alot of people....its obvious that hes thought about it....and he posted his decision.....but the yall come in and condem him fro his decision....

did I condem him for his decision?? NO...YALL did.  I congradulated him on it and told him hes has alot to look forward to with his new found decision to buy an xbox.  yall are the ones that have the problem....

And IronFist...you can kiss my a** dude....  Im not here to confirm to the ps2 fanboy standard that goes on around here....i say what I think...

I see you dont like my xbox ...as you would say PREACHING....  well too bad.   there is ALOT of ps2 preaching going around here and you are guilty of it to....in fact...anyone here who was tring to convince VIVI not to sell his ps2 was PS2 preaching and THAT INCLUDES YOUR SELF.   I bring a balence here...and I see you dont like me upsetting the balence...:D  

I see some of you need to learn what a console debate is....I could understand if i was posting this stuff in your other forums but Im not and i wont.  But this is ALL fair play in conmsole debating...but yall have probully been with out opposition for so long that you forgot what REALLY goes down in a console debating forum...

and Living in clip...  tell me this...why is it OK to be an early adopter with the ps2 and NOT with the xbox??? you contradict yourself....I could careless if you buy the xbox when it comes out but the fact of the matter is that you are telling OTHER people NOT too.  Not  just VIVI but EVERYONE that reads these forums (members are not)not to be an EARLY xbox adapter!!!  whats up with that???   Sounds like you want to influence the masses not to buy an xbox if you ask me....    I just called you on it.  

Let the consoles decide there own fate.  Im not going to sit around and let you TRY to influence someone that they should not make a purchase....cause some poor smuck might be reading your post and ACTUALLY think you know what you are talking about...

Let the consoles decide there own fate.

That is the price of the HDD drive in Japan,it doesnt mean it will be that much in the US or UK,you can buy the BB and modem adaptor on it own,which will be $40 dollars,which is really good,so if it was $100 for both then that isnt to bad,but over $100 then i dont see it taking off,but who knows.
And to play the DVD on XBox you will have to buy a remote,so there is so many different ways you can look at it.
Also keep your ps2 all the AAA titles are starting to come out now,you have done all that waiting for them,then when they get here you sell your ps2.
Also just enjoy all the consoles,who really cares which console is number 1 just as long as you have enjoyed them,and that is what i am going to do.

See ya leter everyone.
On the 15 of March 2002, i was going to leave these forums for good.
But on the 16 of March i realised i couldn\'t ever say bye to you guys, so i am staying here for good!

SMART!!!! Personally I can\'t stand my PS2, XBOX is just going to put PS2 to shame is every aspect of gameplay.
Sell the thing while it\'s worth money, and use that to get the XBOX.  

PS2 is just an utter mess, IMO

How bout you all just shut up and go buy a DC with Sonic Adventure 2!  

-wicked clown-

Listen, as of the moment, Xbox nor PS2 have alot of exclusives.  It\'s all about the Gamecube.  

FFX will come and go, Vivi.  It may be good, it may be great but it\'s just one game.  Me personally, I buy systems that have the most appealing games.  I bought a DC and have 22 games at the moment.  (I just got Sonic 2 and my DC isn\'t getting very much rest) I don\'t regret my DC purchase.

Now for my next system, I am all about Gamecube.  It will have Metroid Prime, Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Mario, Donkey Kong, Phantasy Star Online 2, Extreme G-3, Resident Evil 0, Wave Race, 1080 2,  Zelda, and the one I most excited about, Star Fox Adventures.  It\'s also got alot of Namco support and Sega is really for it.  I MUST GET A GAMECUBE.

XBOX, It\'s definitely got appeal.  But not enough for me yet.  Games I would get- Dead or Alive 3, Malice, Panzer Dragoon 3, Crazy Taxi Next, and House of the Dead 3.  

PS2- FFX looks good, but I will not pay 300, or even 200 for one game.  Twisted Metal is fun, but Crazy Taxi kinda fun (it wears thin shortly).  Devil May Cry looks like fun, but there are rumours it will also come to the XBOX.

So far, gamecube appeal far outweighs the competition.  Just do a comparison for all of us too see and we will make your decision for you...sound easy enough?;)

Also, you might be able to sell your ps2 for around 300$.  It is still in demand in some areas.

Oh no.. Here we go again..

Let me ask you one little thing TheUglyThing..
Why do you keep bashing PS2 in a PS2 forum??

Go to http://www.msxbox.com or whatever, where SOMEBODY cares about what you think..

This is getting pretty pathetic..

SO you saying NBA2k2 is going to play like a PC game????  HELL NO!

So you are saying Jet set radio is going to play like a PC game??  HELL NO!

So you are saying that DOA3 is going to play like a PC game?  HELL NO!!

This xbox and PC comparison argument died ALONG time ago.  Trying to hold on to it makes youself look FOOLISH!!

Ah, good to see you again Soul Reaver. But you missed a critical part in my post.

Xbox won\'t be that different since it\'s architecture it\'s basically the same.

Some developers will take advantage of the Xbox HD\'s, but then again a lot of developers will use it just like they would use a PC HD. Again, I didn\'t say EVERY Xbox game would play like a PC game nor did I imply it.

How can Xbox put PS2 in every aspect of gameplay when we haven\'t even played it yet and I think we\'re not suppose to play consoles, we\'re suppose to play the games on them.  Think long and hard about that.

Ah Ginko is finally back. :)

Intrigue me. Just how is the Xbox going to put the PS2 to shame in every aspect of gameplay? Does it have a sensory helmet you can strap on? A full body suit that inflicts pain? Didn\'t think so. Better graphics or superior specs does not imply better gameplay. I\'m sure the guys here don\'t take you seriously anyhow.

X-box is just a pc-in-a-box, IMO.

well datamage I give you props, cause it seems you are amongst the few here who can read.  You obviously saw the "IMO" at the end of my post.

So if you think the XBOX is a PC, that\'s cool with me, your entitled to your opinion. The way I see it is, why settle for anything less, when you can have the best.  Personally myself I can\'t wait to play games in 5.1 surround sound, seeing how i\'m am a big sound fanatic.

OGodlyOne you have got to be the biggest fanboy this forum has seen since the days of DocWiz.
No one is trying to convince ViVi to not buy an XBox, its just you trying to convince him that XBox is god when its not even out yet. My god, some people *shakes head*

Heh, OGodly is ok... he\'s just a bit controversial in his statement at times, considering this is a PS2 forum. But he\'s not (always ;)) unreasonable.
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAPETIME!
