I'd have to agree with you on that one Ophecks,... I've got mariosunshine on pre-order...:) |

Xbox would be the last thing I'd buy, I have both GC and PS2 and because there are little games available for GC in the UK yet, its unfair of me to make a comparison based on the vast range of Sony software..... BTW: eXXailon, if you get one of those damn MS things I'll never talk to you again... :P |

I second Jedi Chris's recommendation wholeheartedly : Buy an Xbox -- There are some absolutely mind-boggling games coming out for it soon(Fable, BC, Psychonauts, Deus Ex 2, Splinter Cell, Jedi Knight II, etc...). You're going to see some amazing things done on this system. The best part about it, I think, is that it's an occidental gaming platform with many more occidental developers than other consoles.. Big eyes, puss-puss main characters embroiled in nausiating soap operas with dominant females, cheesy elevator music, crappy dialogue... I've had about all the Japanese I can stomach*. If you want it to be known that you're a REAL man, buy an Xbox. The Xbox is a REAL man's system : More horsepower than any other console, sex appeal through the roof(speaking of which, since I bought mine I've grown huge patches of hair on my left butt cheek and shoulders... Something to think about.), and last but not least, it's fucking huge! Easily weighs as much as 8 gamecubes put together.. I'm sure I don't have to quote the ancient proverb about size. ..Anyway, that's my opinion i.e. indisputable truth of the matter. *With the exception of the venerable Miyamato's Nintendo titles. Pikmin is one of the best games I've played in years.. Just finished Starfox Adventures which was also fantastic. Everything this man touches is gold. |

I don't agree with you though.... :S So why second what I said? |

Yes you do, it just sounds like you don't because of your heavy accent. |

Star Fox so good. I'm in the Darkice Mines right now, just about to beat that big dino that was encased in ice. He scared me so I quit to take a break rather than pee my pants as he roars at me. I think I'm going to buy an X-Box... but only for one reason. PERFECT DARK ZERO |

My only complaint about Star Fox was that it was a bit on the short side.. I didn't want it to end. I was also a little disappointed that we don't get to see Mr.McCloud show Krystal the true meaning of "foxhole love".. Ahh well. I'm sure Perfect Dark Zero will be amazing.. Can't say I'm too enthralled about the new style though. Guess we'll just have to wait and see how it turns out. Hitman 2 came out today.. Has anyone played it yet? |

XBOX wins hands down for me...we're getting one at Xmas def... Just released a mod chip that doesn't require any soldering etc....and once installed, you've basically got a great little PC...for £150... So many emulators....plus running it as 8gb Mp3 box, or a DIVX movie player, DVD player...easy to stick on homenetwork/broadband.... some guys already got Win2K running on it... Check yesterdays Slashdot for a great thread all about this... .... Also... .... |

couple of interesting posts from slashdot... "Xbox with a modchip is very interesting concept. Since you can do almost anything with it. With 120G harddisk installed you can have : * Portable Divx player with ~150 movies * MP3 Player with ~2000 'CD quality' albums * Up to 60 Xbox games on the disk * NES and SNES emulator with every game ever published * N64 and MAME Emulator with hundreds or even over thousand games * Audio CD/VCD/SVCD player * etc Can you find any other console/mediabox/anything with these features under 400$ that you can just plug in to TV or amplifier? "... "The good news, however, is that the world of emulation on the XBox is unparalleled on any other console. Here is a list of emulators ported to the XBox which work almost flawlessly: Stella (Atari 2600) [xb-power.com] Gnuboy (Gameboy/Gameboy Color) [xb-power.com] FCEUltra (NES) [xb-power.com] SMSPlus (GameGear/Sega Master System> [xb-power.com] HU-GO (Turbografx-16/PC-Engine) [xb-power.com] NeoPop (NeoGeo Pocket Color) [xb-power.com] DGen (Sega Genesis) [xb-power.com] Bochs (x86) [xb-power.com] Bochs emulates the PC architecture and has prebuilt packages for running DOS 6.22, Windows 3.11, and Windows 95. Windows runs too slowly in Bochs to do anything useful, but it runs old DOS games very well. Snes9x (SNES) [xb-power.com] MAME (Arcade machines) [xb-power.com] Daedalus (N64) [boob.co.uk] Frodo (Commodore 64) (url?) Handy (Atari Lynx) (url?) GBA (Gameboy Advance) (url?) Final Burn (Arcade/CPS2 esp) (url?) Owning a modded XBox allows you to easily play just about all of your console classics on the TV in your living room. (No, not everyone has computers in every room of their house yet. :P ) IMHO, the most fun I've had with my XBox so far is playing games on all of the above emulators. Now that there is a solderless modchip, just about anyone can enjoy them also. "... |

Upon closer inspection.. I'm getting a bit lost in the tech jarble. I'd actually have to open my Xbox up and meld circuits together? |

Pikmin is really funny... i'm becoming crazy with all these red, yellow and blue little creatures... |

Apparently the mod is easy to do....but just like PS1, there'll be computer shops who'll do it for ya...still early days for Xbox modding but post-Xmas, it'll be as common as PS1 modding was... princo: you're right, I'm not a big gamer...used to program assembler games on the Spectrum so I find it hard to play a game without thinking about the code behind it so that kinda spoils games a bit for me... But the girlf loves em....so we're going 1/2s on one as a Xmas pressie for each other...I'm more interested in the DVD playing that anything really but it looks like an Xbox coupled with Broadband is gonna make a great little multi-function PC/set-top box.... it's gonna make a great on demand music/video system as well.... |

Tremendous amount of fun but, again, too short! I found all 30 parts the 2nd time through... Supposedly there's a sequel coming out sometime next year. |

MICROSOFT IS NOT GOOD... http://slashdot.org/articles/02/10/03/1623204.shtml?tid=109 http://msnbc-cnet.com.com/2100-1040-960594.html?type=pt&par t=msnbc&tag=alert&form=feed&subj=cnetnews I CANT FUCKING BELIEVE THIS!!!!! ARRRRRRRGGGHHH!!!! |

There goes that idea jand.... but only for a limited time I reckon, not even Microsoft can stop piracy/modification etc... |

How many days did you finish the pikmin game? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Ha ha, you could do all that with the DC months ago (bitter)... And you don't need a mod chip... And you can get a cable to run code from a PC on it/copy memory card data to a pc... And it had a modem... And a broadband adaptor... And the most powerful force feedback of any console... AND NOBODY BOUGHT ONE. FOOLS. |

Kinda like IDM really.... great product, just no one really knows about it! ps. was just playing a Goldeneye MOD for Doom2 on my Dreamcast a few mins ago! Oh yeah... Dreamcast has it all! :) |

Yeah the rumble packs are insane. Your whole forearms shake. The vibrations are meant to be equivalent to those of a small chainsaw :) |

I'm the only person in Nova Scotia with a Dreamcast, it seems... I feel special! And I liked that system a lot. I really wish Sega was still a hardware power in the industry. :-( |

Look at crazy taxi 2 & rez on DC - A year earlier and graphically superior to the PS2 verisons. I know people group the DC with N64 & PSX, but I honestly feel it's far more akin to PS2,GC & Xbox. I mean, look at DC DOA2 & Soul Calibur graphics, so much better than many new PS2 games. Ophecks: Did it actually get released in Canada? ;) |
