This thread included a poll: Which console

oh yeah and whats your gamertag? Just on xboxlive, i don't know about ps2. dO THEY HAVE GAMERTAGS ON ps2?

on xbox live you have to choose a gamertag which applies to all games you play forever. As far as i know, the only way to change it is to get a new kit and start all over again. Mines scoda by the way and my fave games are ghost recon, moto gp and return to castle wolfentsein. I think that online gaming is so much better than normal, although sometimes i suck at the games.

been playing motoGP on xbox live and Midtown Madness, personally I think MotoGP rules live, Midtown madness was a big letdown, think I may have to purchase Midnight Club 2, and put MM on Ebay :P

I like PC in shoebox!!! 😃

being a game oriented PC is allright by me and its a whole lot cheapper than buying a tower with same specs.....mine was �89.99 with two pads and Halo game. this also makes it expandable, unlike the old days of N64 and Megadrive.
PS3 from what ive heard will be no different, its just the future for consoles. The XBOX 2 is going to be much smaller than its predecessor and alot more powerful.

You just gotta admit, XBOX beats PS2 hands down technically. PS2 just has an upperhand cos' they where on the scene longer, thus giving more time to attain the best developers and it looks more asthetically pleasing.

MS have done a great job for a first try and giving time, they will rule the roost. 😃 8) .....but hey, i look forward to what the PS3 can bring to the fore.

just to bad your too embarrased to put it under the telly in the front room and have to hide it upstairs in the kids room 😉
With a bit of luck Big Bill will start to make a profit on it soon and sell a few.

LMFAO Xbox!?!? My laptop is more powerful than that pile of poo. You want a console... I've got an Atari Jaguar - bow down and pay homage!

Now way man, my CommadoreCDTV shits all over that!
AND my ZX81 played a great game of 'b' chases 'B' and shoots him with a '~' 😊

I saw an Oric Atmos the other day being used as a till in a burgerVan, who remembers those!!

.

MS have lost over �400 million on the xbox in the last 6 months! Don't expect it bothers him cos in the same amount of time the MS software division made over �2 billion. From what i've heard, the xbox 1.5 will be next out and will be (apparently) a bit bigger than the game cube, but thinner and not so much a cube. It will have exactly th esame specs though

oh yeah and the xbox live wins hands down. The ps2 online is pretty crap to be honest. I free demo, no voice communictor, no lan cable with it. Oh yeah and xbox games like rtcwolfenstein and ghost recon are soooooooooooo much better than socom. The only thing missing is a football game online. That would rule!

See, i found a games dealer who sells XBOX modchips in london. Believe it or not, it is possible to get the Xbox running CERTAIN PS/2 games, due to certain hardware restraints. Basically, only single player games, that are compatible with the analogue joypads work. Thankfully, GTA3 and GTA:VC work! No need for 2 consoles to play my games 😃

yeah, but if you "chip" your xbox then you can get a life ban from xbox live, unless you get a new xbox and new xbox live account. Not really worth it. Microsoft have a program that scours the lines and (apparantly) can block your ip. It came from many sources including microsft themselves but whether its true and not just an attempt by ms to stop piracy i don't know

Voted GC, i've had it for a while now and was starting to lose interest when my favourite gaming franchise (Tony Hawks Pro Skater) bought out the awful Tony 4... 😞 :bad-words:

But i just started to play Zelda Wind Waker and i reckon this game is gonna be just awesome. I looks good enough to beat Mario Sunshine and i've only played for any hour so far! 😃 I'll keep you guys posted.

Anyone else played Zelda WW (no spoilers please! 😊 )

Hmmm.............got me paranoid now, i think i'll look into gettin a second hand Xbox for multiplayer......safer.........

yeah zeldas cool isn't it? However much i use to love my n64, the gamecubes not the same. However i do prefer it to my ps2.
