Why don\'t they actually try getting some better games out faster instead of just throwing money into the system, I\'m sure that would have much more of an impact on how well it does...

SORRY, I knew it was in the wrong forum, but when I realized where I posted it it was too late.

I see no point in online gaming. I think it\'s way too far off to be thinking of online console gaming. Until broadband is everywhere and cheaper and I have no life that I spend time playing video games on the web. I won\'t be bothered with online gaming.

you know you Don\'t need Braodband for internet gaming

it does help but its not the be all and end all of online gaming

i used to play a lot of TFC via my 56k modem with little to no lag on the right server.

By Going Broadband only the X box is "shooting" themselfs in the foot as many of us 56ker don\'t have cable or ASDL access but still enjoy online gaming

ah well looks like the Online side is yet another area where the PS2 will Totaly dominate over the X box

Whats the Thumping sound i here ?

no what is another nail in the X box\'s Coffin

No it is the X-box trying to get out of the Coffin because it is by the Jaguar, 3do and other DEAD consoles!

With that tiny little bit of info, anyone could come to that conclusion. Fortunately there is more to it than that...

They will never match Sony by allowing you to download stuff like movies.

« **Reply #12 on:** May 20, 2002, 02:21:17 PM »

How do you know exactly what you can and can\'t do with either system...as far as I know neither company has released all plans and capabilities.

And you seeming to be ignorant about any other console than PS2 doesn\'t give you much credibility here...

« **Reply #13 on:** May 20, 2002, 02:25:12 PM »

I read the report so I just as much as you do about this new x box live.

Look at the x box hard drive. what is it 7 gigs? how many movies could you fit on that? how many games?

« **Reply #14 on:** May 20, 2002, 02:30:20 PM »

Being that I\'m not the expert, I have no idea. But I do know you haven\'t a clue either...

Did you also know about the communication aspect, dedicated server...I\'m guessing no.

Once again, I just think you are extremely short sighted and most of your post prove this...
