X-box will destroy the PS2?!?!

Well, what can I say.....
It also seems very hard to see the reply wasn\'t very
serious.
And if it were.... it was meant with positive intentions.
Let\'s just leave it at that ok?

PS2 has a 300mhz cpu that\'s completely dedicated, the Xbox has a P3-733 that\'s not dedicated.  Xbox has the hardware to run an emulator from it\'s hdd, but not anything near powerful enough to run PS2 games at good speed.  Remember, it has to run PS2\'s operating system too.  XBox is WAY easier to program for than PS2, but that\'s only games.  Emulators running off one system to run another equal system\'s full-out games is near impossible.  Anyone run PowerPC on a MAC trying to run a PC\'s OS and the game?  I have, on a 700mhz MAC and it\'s soo crappy, even Quake1 ran at only 5fps, nowhere near good enough to be called playable.

So don\'t worry, PS2 will be safe.

On the otherhand hating Xbox without actually playing it is equally foolish.

HEY, watch the insults. I may be ignorant, as MY NAME MAY SUGGEST (...) only becuase, well, I don\'t know my ass from my elbow

There IS a VERY, VERY good reason for me to be so prejudiced against the X-box..
If it is good, I will not be able to buy it.
If it is TOO good, It will BURY PS2 like PSX buried the Sega saturn.
Therefore I\'m prejudiced, and I hate the Xbox. Hate it. wish it would die. (DIE, XBOX, DIE :burn: )

so, in fact, I *do* hate the Xbox for very excellent reasons. *is that really such a bad thing??*

Well that\'s because your on a RISC based machine emulating CISC based code.
The processors on Macs and PC\'s are very different.Read my previous post.The Mac\'s have a lower pipeline,while PC CPU\'s have a much deeper pipeline.
And the biggest difference is the micocode,Macs have a much newer more efficient microcode.

And PowerPC is just a nickname for the processor architecture that Macs use.

you use such big words...how do you ever expect us tech-ignorant fools to understand??

so...It is 100% impossible for Xbox to play PS2 games?
great I feel so much better  :smokin:

But..If the Xbox DOES come out with the hardware, somehow..

I\'ll burn this website :o

OF COURSE Id love the Xbox as a gift.  But i spent my $ on my ps2 and i cant afford both, but i would definitly pick ps2 again.  I mean it IS all about the games right?  One thing Xbox will never have is the GT series.  they might come up with an equivilant, but      ya know.  i mainly bought my ps2 for DVD and GT3.  Other games are all just blessings.

X-Box will not EVER be able to play PSX games

it couldnt even emulate Dreamcast games

a machine needs to be about 4 times more powerful than the machine its emulating to be able to...well....emulate it

X-Box is not 4 times more powerful, PLUS PS2\'s architecture wouldnt allow any machine in the next few years to emulate it based on current PC standards...perhaps thats another reason why the EE was built the way it was

im worried about PC\'s emulating the X-Box...theres nothing to emulate, it already uses DirectX

X Box destroy the PS2 ?

Yes

but only if you drop  VERY BIG and Heavy X Box onto your lovely Playstation 2 .

What about the possibilities of the DC being emulated on the PS2 when it gets its HDD?  Is that just as impossible?

but only if you drop VERY BIG and Heavy X Box onto your lovely Playstation 2

Ahh man, you stole my joke.

Emulation is an insanely inefficient process.  I am sure we will see  Bleem of sorts to play PSX games if a company out there thinks there is a demand but, barring some unforeseen technology, you will never see the Xbox emu the PS2.

Sorry DM i had to say that......

or you could answer

Yes

Because if Microsoft cant beat them they buy them out, wonder if Bill has enough CASH to buy SONY ?

LOL

Yeah, X-box can play ps2 games b/c Bill Gates made this new deal with the devil:

Bill Gates owns the world, and Satan gets to f*ck him in the ass whenever he wants.

Which is disgusting.  Why not just get a donkey like any normal person.

BTW, VOTE DONKEY RAPERS!

Ps2 hardware design is very different than another computer chips around. It is a full on media dedicated design. Kinda like have a pc that\'s upside down heh, well just a say here, don\'t blow anything at me heh cya
