Yes, Mr. Obsidian, I will reply to your XBOX bashing, and other ingnorant statements...

(1). The XBOX is the same price as the PS2, yet comes with 2 controllers, 2 free games (SegaGT2002 is awesome, you aren't just getting crap games), and you don't need any memory cards...but if you DO want them, you don't have to shell out $30+ bucks like you do for a PS2 or GameCube...you can get a LICENCED (i.e., won't void warranty) 3rd party XBOX memory card for about $20.
If you're calling it the eXpensiveBOX because you're a GameCube fanboy, have fun playing your multi-disc games in the future with your system that can't play movie DVDs. (Yeah, I know it's $30 for the XBOX DVD playback kit, but I'd rather use a remote than a controller. [The PS2's DVD controller is $20.]) Oh yeah, and the GameCube only comes with one controller and NO games for that wonderful $150...buy ONE game and a controller, and you're ALREADY over the XBOX price by $10+...

(2). Microsoft OWNS part of Apple, dumbshit. You don't try to kill something you're financially invested in, smart-guy.

$ = relase os with bugs, release new and improved version to resolve bugs while making sure it has new bugs, repeat.

#7, Another interesting tidbit...I have this theory that Microsoft designs their software to be "time-bombs"...after a certain amount of time, they're designed to start running slower and slower...I kinda proved this with MY computer (It has Windows '95), I set the year back to 1997, and my computer started loading up Windows faster...certain programs (most notably, my NES emulator) started running faster...it's unbelievable...

#6, Played Mario Sunshine...hated it. It's like Mario 64, but with more RPG elements thrown in (I HATE RPGs), along with SLIGHTLY updated graphics...

#2, no - i'm not a fanboy of GC - i'm calling it eXpensive box because when it was first relased up here - EB tried to sell it for $750.

#3 - did i say kill? That make you the dumbshit (for now).

No - i didn't say kill. But MS can do the next best thing - wound them and shrink their market share at will. To be able to do that (without taking the reins of apple) is still impressive. When apple seems to be getting a second foot-hold - MS can launch an ad campain or lower prices or even ask for more MS-only software. That alone makes them the smart guys. They don't kill off the investment - They milk if for it's worth.

it's just that simple.

and for me to say i'm anti-xbox is kinda hard to digest.

I did manage to get one.

#11, Then stop calling it the eXpensiveBOX...The $750 was because E.B., NOT Microsoft...do you know how much PS2s were selling for when they were first released?! Upwards of $1000!!! At least you could walk in and BUY an XBOX about 2 weeks after it's release...I couldn't get a PS2 for about 3 months, when I finally gave up and bought a Dreamcast for 1/3 the price...never regretted it.

You ARE anti-XBOX. I'm sorry if that's hard for you to digest, but I see you bash it every chance you get. "Oh NoS it's Da Bill GaTes BOx...iT mUSt bE bAD, MuSt BASH!!1"

#12, i'm Anti-xbox - yet i won one (plus 5 games).

lets not forget the win98 os i'm running and the winExcel and winPower-point and the winWord (it's not like i EVER needed word for writing anything. Me being so anti-microsoft i might use MS word for making a bomb or hold a bank with it). Lets not forget MS paint - the program i use to create "photoshops".

I'm not anti-bill gates - oh wait - Bill Gates. In fact - i applaud him and his percision business practices connected and his ability to lessen a rival os until it's revered to be the os of artsy-fartsy people and nutters.

(lets try it your way)

You ARE anti-anti-XBOX. I'm sorry if that's hard for you to digest/understand/forget - but I see you can't get a grip on a joke about microsoft dispite the numours joke about microsoft. "Oh NoS it's Da anit-MS JoKe - iT mUSt bE bAD - MuSt fiGhT wITH WoRDz!!!11"

btw - ps2's retailed for $400 to $450 at eb. Want the math for that?
