It was the first to bring it to the mainstream.

Sure you can say revolutionize this and that, but it\'s not the fault of the hardware, it\'s the fault of the devs.  Plus, I\'m not sure there\'s anything left to be introduced.

The xbox looks like it\'ll bring the first online plan that works.  It introduced a HD to get over many of the hurdles that the DC couldn\'t.  

mm you are all about bashing the xbox and GC, but your pride and joy the PS2 hasn\'t been doing anything good for the industry since it was released.  What has the PS2 done that is new?  Nothing that comes to mind.

You can hate the xbox and the GC but you can\'t in the same sentence praise the PS2, because the PS2 has been the sequel and rehash machine and that\'s the truth.

Yes it was--PC gaming isn\'t mainstream.

Console-wise, the PSX was revolutionary.

Revolution is something that is completely original or new.  Being that the thought and execution of 3D was about (mode 7, Fx chip, computers) before PSX, the PSX could not be dubbed completley original or new in the idea of 3D.  Making it just an evolution like I stated earlier...

That\'s like saying "I can\'t believe I\'m responding to someone from Ohio"...

It\'s irrelevant...

Sorry, but I can\'t imagine an ICP fan having anything intelligent to say, maybe your different, I\'ll just keep an eye on you and maybe you can prove me wrong

That\'s the problem with Gecko. He can\'t seem to understand that we\'re talking about consoles. He keeps bringing up PCs and arcades.

He won\'t admit that the PSX is his daddy!

You just stereotyped everyone who likes ICP...

Once again, I could come back and say the same thing about people from Ohio.  I don\'t know them, but I\'ll go ahead and put a label on them...

I know what I did, oh and go ahead and label Ohio, really I couldn\'t give a ****.  The difference though is I have seen ICP fans and have heard there music, and I\'m basing it all off of that but you yourself said you would be judging ohio even though you have never meet an Ohioan
