[quoteost_uid0="ZeroEna"]Oh yes @$$hole you're so right. not all systems can be a rip off of a regular computer dressed as a game system with a big green X across the top. and lets not forget the fact that they sell better because lets see thig graphics and length of the games whats that word again...oh that's right.. SUCK! People only buy the other 2 systems because they have additional features that their kids and their kids can use like the playstation 2 dubing as a CD player and a DVD and the the X-box being a CD player and being able to connect to the internet with a built in modem do you see any online games for it no because they just make the system and take their time after words. while the people at nintedo slave away at their jobs working tier lessly to make good games worth remembering don't gwt mw wrong PS2 is good and so waas the Dreamcast they put an effort into it. But X- Box is basicly a computer on it's side with the whole system devoted to playing a game have you noticed that all the X-box games are meirly computer games that are now or were planed to come out for the computer but instead came out for the X-box because they could make more money that way? From now on think before you open your big mouth. :biggrin:
Edit: Sorry if this seems a bit rash but he realy got me P.O.'d It won't happen again. :wahtsthat: :yinyang: :sleeping:[/quote]
I'm sorry for the double posting, before I ignored zero and his rambling on, but then I read what he posted. X-box, a CD player with a modem? OH NO NO NO NO, my friend...

Pros:
The Best Graphics out there (a bonus in my opinion, not a complete factor...)
Hard drive save, which includes saving information and songs on CDs. (also saves on memory cards, but not CDS, which have too much memory)
Cd player
DVD player
HDTV capabilities
Broadband and modem internet hookup while PS2 has only modem, I think.(see internet access)
Multiple link-up (links up to for and more with cable and/or port hub)
Internet access (xbox live) coming this fall
Progressive scanning for games and DVD player (something that PS2 and Gamecube both do not have, which almost eliminates skipping)
Four controller ports (while PS2 only has two)
Halo. period (the best console FPS to date in my and most magazines opinion; was also rated game of the year)
50,000 blocks of Hard Drive space (more than enough to save many, many games)
There is much more that I can't think of also, but I WILL post it.

Cons:
Bigger controller (minor problem)
Have to buy remote control for DVD player
Smaller game repetiour (I hope that's how you spell it) than PS2, but it is a New system, so that is expected.
Not much more.

The "computer" games on X-box and the games to come:

Splinter Cell (MGS2 killer when it comes out), Hunter: The Reckoning, Amped (play your own music on this), Halo (BEST... CONSOLE... FPS... EVER.), Soul Caliber 2 (oh, yeah the best fighting game ever; will be on PS2 and Gamecube also) Dead or Alive 3 (impressive gameplay with absolutely GORGEOUS graphics), Metal Gear Solid 2, FFXI (maybe) and FFXII (definitely), Blood Omen, Baldur's Gate, GTA 3 (possibly), Rallisport Offroad Challenge (play your own music on this one too and is a really great racing game), JSRF, WWF: RAW. Outlaw Golf (mixing hicks, strippers, fighting and other characters with golf. SWEET!!), Marvel vs. Capcom 2 (with a lot more than the original), THPS 3, THPS 2x, World Series Baseball, NBA 2K3,Gunvalkyrie (sleeper that IGN gave a 9.0 and Xbox magazine gave a 9.1), Elder Scrolls: Morrowmind III (kickass RPG), 007: Nightfire (going to be awesome), PROJECT EGO (only a code name to the most impressive game, graphically and hopefully playwise EVER), and many many more games to come. Oh yeah, most will eventually be online playable. What do you think about Xbox now, huh?

I like Gamecube almost as much as the next person, but, c'mon people, give the other system it's dues. Yes, I have a PS2 for people who think I am some stupid, non-informed X-box maniac that only likes X-box for it's graphics.
