I know a lot about you... :em321:

Nobody likes the french anyways. Especially not frenchies who used to be MaD CoW. *cough*

I've decided that purchasing consoles is utterly sensless when you can play everyone elses. The closest to a console I might ever buy is a portable due to my constantly being on the road.

If console games ever go down in standard price, I might suddenly be inclined to go back to consoles. But as of now, I can't be bothered to pay 50 dollars for a game that'll be 20 dollars in 2 months because it's not worth the 50 dollar price tag. I rarelly replay games, either. There are few games for PS2 which are worth more than a rent, and those I own I only keep due to the nastalgic factor, such as MGS, or THPS. There's no sense in spending 50 dollars on a game which they can make a profit selling for 30 dollars, and you barelly play more than enough to beat, then resell. A PC game is worth 50 dollars due to the fact that, you know, it's got extended gameplay possibilities due to mods, not a monthly fee for those mods, etc.

X-Box Live pisses me off, because it CHARGES for MP. Were it an MMO with consistantly changing environments/enemies/scripts, I could see the reason. But no, I have to pay to play football with someone else. Not cool.

When internet consoles are as open and free as the internet itself, and I can download user made mods, and even make my own, I'll get a consol- oh wait, I already have one of those. They call it a PC.

I'm not French, I'm Polish.

WTF????

If I do buy one, it will be the PS3.

No, just as the first xbox was better than PS2, the the XBOX2 will be better than PS3. I saw a video a while back for project gotham racing and OMG. I forgot the link but if I find it, Ill post it.

Basing your opinion on a console vs another console because of a single video of project gotham racing, or heck, even basing it on the fact that one has better specs over the other means nothing. An intuitive developers kit, along with progressive companies that spend the time to learn how to do things with the dev kit will make all the difference. Your console can support anything, but it takes a more powerful program to allow access to those resources, and people willing to maximize those resources for those resources to actually be 'better' than other console's.

...

So your baseless claim is laid by the fact that
1) In the previous gen using old technology, the X-Box was better,
2) Your lack of knowledge on the current technology that the X-Box and PS3 are using, seeing as how theoretically the PS3 will be better
3) A most-likely fake video seeing as how NOTHING ON EITHER CONSOLE HAS BEEN RELEASED IN ANY FORMAT YET
4) Some kind of weird X-Box fanboyism.

Right.

But some of us don't have enough friends for that.

Anyways... Revolution is backwards compatible with the GameCube as I mentioned earlier... so I'm probably gonna trade mine in to GameStop to get a chunk of change off the price.

Couldn't they put the "Cell" in a computer?

You do realize they're selling Gamecube's for equal to or less than the Gameboy Advance right? So yeah, you probably won't get much off

Actually no, XBOX 360's superior graphics chip was just approved last month for a patent. Microsoft patented a “method and apparatus for supporting anti-aliasing oversampling in a video graphics system that utilizes a custom memory for storage of the frame buffer.” This will allow for Xbox 360's ATI chip better performance handling complex scenes with lots of texture and geometry data, Which will far outperform the PS3's nVidia.

Heres an example:

Watch your mouth buddy...

So you KNOW that picture is legit, not fake in any way.

They're using an ATi chip, which is just above the X850XT, yes, I know. The PS3 is using some in-house thing again, I think, but the thing is the PS3's processors FAR outperform the X-Box 2's (in theory). Also, the rumor of the mill is that the PS3 is 1000x better (not literally) than the X-Box 2. Hell, I've not seen anything but you saying there's a video of Project Gotham for the X-Box 2 and some picture that could so easily be fake it's not even funny.

And do you even know what that quote you posted means? I seriously doubt it.

Doubt whatever you want. This image was leaked directly from Microsoft and YES, I do know what the quote means. Thanks for checking though.

Don't you have anything better to do with your time that sit on this forum all night arguing over a system that hasn't even been released?? I seriously doubt it.

Yoshi, man, you did kinda freak out. You're saying the same thing he is, from the opposite side, and claiming that his stance is ridiculous somehow. It's all good buddy. We'll see soon enough.

What does an image have to do with the power of the machine?

And saber--I know, but I at least have a leg to stand on in that on paper, the PS3 is better. He's just going OMG X-BOX 2 IS BETTAR BECAUSE I DECIDED IT WAS AND I SAW A SUPPOSEDLY REAL VIDEO YATTA ETC.

So far all he's put up is a probably faked headlight. Impressive.

I've read some decent things about the next Nintendo console.. even though not much has been released.

Though it is going to have free online play which is a huge plus!

I've not read a single thing about the Revolution spec-wise. The only thing I know is it will have online stuff, which is new for them :p.

Hopefully it doesn't suck.

I don't see what, exactly, that fake screenshot is supposed to prove anyway. It's nothing a modern X800/X850 couldn't handle (which, quite appropriately, is the generation of video card the next Xbox is supposed to be using).

I have absolutely no reason to doubt that the PS3 will be more powerful than the Xbox 360. Among other things, Sony owns their own chip production facilities so they can manufacture lower yield parts without the middleman markup. The last generation is an excellent example: both the Nintendo and Microsoft consoles were assembled from more or less off-the-shelf components, while the totally proprietary PS2 was the only system that generated a profit from hardware sales.

Imagine Super Smash Brothers having online play... I'd never need another game.

Agreed. Mmm....

Multiplayer server that supports 16+ players in a PC game - even better . . . . no split screen!

True, but then there's some games like FIFA or Mashed where you dont need or want split-screen.
