You fail to mention that MS regualrily give money to Corel (the makers of WP).  My brother is a software engineer for Corel and he likes MS, ans so does Corel.  That doesn\'t sound like a big bad corporation to me.



Does Billy Boy "give" you money Too ?

Ans does Sony give you money ooseven?  I never promote any console unless it is getting the fanboy treatment.  You on the other hand take your daily pot shots at MS and xbox.

You figure it out.

Oh look, I hurt the fanboy\'s feelings.

Say what you want, but ever wonder why most people ignore your posts?  Perhaps if you didn\'t post meaningless sony-drive tripe you might get a little respect around here.  Instead, you and chrono seem to be having a competition to see who can be the most ignorant and closed-minded.

Jeez...... Watchdog....... why does it seem everything you say about someone is that there a fanboy? It seems when someone supports a system in an argument they are a fanboy. I support GC in some arguments.....does that make me a fanboy?

Yeah I know, Bob.  I just get annoyed with some of the people around here.  If it was another forum it would be a different story, but there are so few zealots here that I like to think we could have a fanboy free forum.  I DO get carried away sometimes.  It\'s just that people like that attract other people like that and before we know it this\'ll be IGN2.

I can tolerate PStwo because atleast he doesn\'t show up in every second thread and bash the PS2.  He posts a lot of xbox "news", but it\'s harmless stuff mostly.  People like Chrono and to a lesser extent ooseven turn every xbox thread into a "my-console-is-better-than-yours-here-are-some-screens-and-articles war.  That\'s kid\'s stuff and it isn\'t necessary or fruitful.

If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

I think this whole "fanboy" thing originates from jealousy.  Not jealousy of the owner of a company (ie. Bill Gates) or hatred towards the company (ie. Microsoft).  It starts because someone doesn\'t have the system they are criticizing.  I have had a PS2 for about 4 months and I love the thing, but this weekend I received an Xbox and for the few good games out for it right now it is about equal to my PS2.  I wouldn\'t have bought it myself, but I have it now and that is all that matters (heh I have a good wife).  The only thing that I think MS did well was the HD in the Xbox.  Forget memory cards!  Speaking of that, I haven\'t been able to locate an extra memory card for my PS2 in over a month!  

Basically, why wish for the demise of any system?  With variety comes choice and with choice comes good competition and great games.  Sony does need a good opponent and the Xbox IMHO is the only machine capable of taking them on.  

Just imagine if Sony was the only company, we would still have great games, but we would have more mediocre ones and probably even more just plain sucky ones.  

Its great finally having both systems (I have no interest in the GC) and it is so great being able to go to any video game store and have a huge selection whether it be PS2 only or Xbox only.  Its truly the best of both worlds.

I see this same crap on the Xbox boards only worse.  They really criticize the PS2 when they have no clue.  "The Xbox runs at 733mhz and the PS2 runs at 300mhz...  The Xbox hardware crushes the PS2!"  Try to tell them that there is no "real" way to compare the different speeds with each other due to different architecture (P3 vs Emotion) and they call you a PS2 fanboy.  Bah this crap makes me sick.  I enjoy both for their similarities and differences.

you make a point, but i think having an XBox there doesnt make any real difference to the quality of games.  If PS2 was the only console, then that would only affect the consoles, not the games.  Prices would be more expensive for longer, first party peripherals would be more expensive, the addons etc. etc. because the PC would be the only other alternative.  However, the game quality themselves would be unaffected (except for may aesthetics) as for 1) they are still competing against PC and 2) they are competing against eachother for your purchase and 3)the integrity of the developers.  Saying there would be more mediocre games i think is incorrect

:)

but it is a good thing having another console in competition.. i guess we will see what happens :)
