Because the topic reads "How much Would You Bet that NPlayer Will Be an Xbox Fanboy Soon?" - and no-one is debating consoles. Me and 00seven did however get a bit off the topic.

1- not over here, infact it isvery cheap to upgrade your PC, i can get 256meg for £50.

2- i can upgrade my pc to be far more powerful than the X box with just a few minnor upgrades

3- Most PC games will tkae advantage of it, infact we will see a greater use of the internet to set up online Gaming and support comuniteys, just look at TFC and Counter strike, plus most of the X Box games will appear on the PC at Some stage.

4-XB is a PC CONSOLE !, yup it\'s all very well to build a system with PC components and try and fool the public that you have to buy it. XB will have the Ge fore 3 ?

Whats stopping me in buying a Ge Force 3 and placing it within my PC ?

1-I dont live there, so you may be right on this one thing.
2-It wont be more powerful for gaming purposes.
3-Most PC games do not take advantage of a PC with the equivilent of XB graphics. Online communities arent relevent to the graphics/prossesing power.
4-No, its a console, period. Xbox will have something based on GF3, but I believe it will be something slightly  different, and fyi, most consoles use PC parts.... ever heard of Atari vcs, Genesis, SNES, PSone and even *gasp* PS2? They all have PC components in them. It\'s odd how XB has custom usb, no other pc type expansion ports, and PS2 does, but XB is a PC console.... Sorry, it just defies logic...

GF3 will cost MORE than XB. And you need a system to use it effectivly. XB= ~$300   GF3= ~$400 (according to http://www.planethardware.com/features/articles/nv20/index3.shtml )

And on the PC gaming vs Console gaming in general... what kinda nerd are you that you wanna sit around tweaking ****? Gaming is about playing games, not tweaking things... well, I dont really care, do what you want, but don\'t critisize a console like XB by characterizing it unfairly as a mini pc... cause its NOT.

Hmmmm i wonder when Team Fortress Classic 2 will be out, do you play that one Sam?

It\'s Team Fortress 2. Not Team Fortress Classic 2.

Team Fortress Classic is a remake of the original Team Fortress (on Quake 1) .. hence the classic name tossed in there.

- dm
- what\'s in the f\'cking box?

ETHugg, nerds or not, a PC is just more flexible - with all the advantages and disadvantages that brings. Some like it, some don\'t. But there\'s no need to diss it just because it\'s not your opinion.

Hmmm i still don\'t see the point in spending my money in buying a product that offers the same things that i already have with my PC, if not a little more resticted.

I bought a PS2 due to the inovation and exclusive titlesthat will only appear on the PS2.

IF Gran Turismo 3 and othere PS2 exclusives where released onthe PC, then i would never buy my playstation 2, i would just upgrade my PC.

I love my PC, the only reason why i stray from it is to get them Exclusive titles that i like so much.

This guy is a classic example of a PS2 FANBOY.  But he\'s also a classic example of someone who will jump ship once the hype settles in.  That\'s why I\'m betting so much that NPlayer will be on the Xbox bandwagon this fall.

...and maybe you\'re the classic example of the BS X-Troll-Box Fan Boy?

Have you ever write such a Thread on the X-Troll DocWiz?

Why have you posted this pointless Thread in the Console Debating?

If you don\'t like the way of doing of Nplayer...ignore him!

As a WARNING...DO NOT LET YOURSELF BECOME LIKE NPLAYER!!!!  PLAY WHAT YOU LIKE...ALLEGIANCE SUCKS!!!  BE AGNOSTIC!!!

Do we need......?

Now, what do you guys think about the PS2\'s showing so far.

TGS Hype-O-Meter:

Xbox  |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| (Well Microsoft went big...it was expected)
PS2    ||||||||||||||||||||||| (Having a playable version of GT3 kinda helped )
GCN   ||  (Nintendo is a sponsor of the show with a new machine and yet they sit on their laurels...tsk tsk)

PS2     ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

X-Box  |||||||||||||

NGC?  ...please wait until The E3....and then you\'ll start crying!

Isn\'t the PS2 driven by Linux?

N-Player, you\'re a moron to think only the XBOX is a "stripped down PC".

A lot of XB games wont be on PC either. Oddworld has said repetedly the Munch will never be a PC game. Argonaut\'s Malice will NEVER be a PC game. Halo will be a PC game, but they have already stated the 2 versions will be VERY different. The Sega games that end up not going to PS2 will probably not ever be PC games. DoA3 will NEVER be a PC game. I\'m not seeing your logic. The bulk of XB titles are going to stay on XB, or maybe another console, but never be on the PC.

Console games and pc games are not the same thing. The gameplay is much different they don\'t look the same. I prefer the look of console games but I like the multi-player in pc games.  It\'s funny how u called xbox a striped down pc when all console are menature pc\'s. Lets take a look at the inside of the ps2 what u think is in there bricks and wooods? xbox took both worlds of the pc and console and combined them. It will make for a excellent gaming experience.  You have yet to play a game on xbox so how can you judge it? That is almost kind of fanboyish. Too say you prefer something else and you have not even played one xbox game.

If gt3 was released of pc it would not have the same feel to it. I honestly don\'t see your point because console games and pc games don\'t feel the same.

Hmmm lets see

PS2 has Custom built Components E engine for start.

X Box has a PIII and a Ge force 3 and a ....

now is\'nt  the P III avalible for the PC and the Ge force will soon be avalible for the PC as well ?

FFS even Bill Gates has admited the " the X box is also for PC owners that what a "system" to play games on".

FFS it\'s even going to use Direct 8 to run it\'s Games !

 ALSO :rpissed:.

Ok coRRECT me if i am wrong but.......

Wasn\'t one of the Advantages that was banged on by MS fanboys , was that the X box is far easyer to develop for because it used PC programming ?


if so whats stopping 3rd party developers porting there Games to the PC for greater sales ?

If you beleve that EVERY game will be kept on the Xbox then your realy are a MS fanboy, Also if you beleve that ant ported games wont sell then i am sorry your sadly mistaken.

Nuff said

why don\'t you 2 go an buy your expensive console and i will buy the games when they get released on the PC.

You 2 meaning XBOX and XBOX? Or were you including me in that?

Yes, some games on XB, as any system, will be ported. So what? And PS2 has some custom chips, and some regular pc chips... just like XB has a custom nVidia (sp?) chip similar to Geforce 3. And Dreamcast was easy to develop and port to also, and no one called that a stripped down PC. Face it Mr. Bond, your just wrong.

And to clarify some of what I was saying before, Nvidia them selves stated \'NV2A (Xbox\'s chip) is at least 1 full generation ahead of NV20 (Geforce 3)\' (it\'s not an exact quote. For the full article, read the news story in Next Gen 05/01) and Next Gen stated that the first wave of Geforce 3 cards will be up to $500. IMO XB @ ~$300 will be a much better deal. And again, at least 70% of XB\'s games will never be released on the PC.

As a side note, I want to make clear that I fully support people who decide not to get a XB, just don\'t diss XB for silly (ie: its too big, I hate Bill Gates)/false (ie: its not that powerful, all the games are ports, etc) reasons.
