The State of the Game Console Wars
An anonymous reader writes "Two years after the next-gen game consoles hit the market, the verdict is in. What does the future hold for each of the Big Three? Here is a thoughtful but crude summary of the X-Box vs. GC vs. PS2 ordeal."
its all about the XGameStation!! I cant wait till this thing comes out, give the market a good kick in the anti DMCA direction! It dosent matter how good the system is, as long as its being pushed to its limits!
You know, I was sort of considering one of those for my little brother. After all, Must turn him into a geek somehow.
Within three years it will be a violation of federal law to not own an X-box ?
C'mon now, thats funny.
Yeah, reality is funny...

that everyone else here thinks this article is downright asinine. Since when did some penis-fetishist's *opinion* on the state of the console war start to matter? If this works so well, I'm going to write an article on how I think alien invasion is the cause of the East coast power outages, and see if I can get it posted. Sheesh...
Did Michael even bother to read what he linked to? This "article", and I use that term loosely, reads as bad as last months Stuff magazine - like a 9 year old boy who can use MSPaint and should be on Ritalin.
There is nothing "thoughtful" about this article.

Let me guess:

You own a GameCube.

They knew that.
They just don't seem to have known that it's not funny.

Collect them all!
Hack them!
Trade them with your friends!

/been under a rock...
i wish i was but oh well
> so my friends will think I am "original" and "witty".
You have friends, and you read Slashdot? I am sorry, I thought that was against the rules.
The unofficial
whats an "Xbox" is that like the new master system?
Does it run on minix?
Good lord, you mean they have like menus on the left, content in the middle, and bullshit on the right?
In that cast gamespot actually stole slashdot's layout.
If you could be told what you can see or read, then it follows that you could be told what to say or think - BoC
Don't take it personally; sometimes the moderators have the sense of Christopher Lowell on a bad batch of crystal meth.

Slashdot is bullshit on the left, bullshit in the middle, and bullshit on the right.
AHEM
Well, as long as you said hope to expect.
I stopped taking it seriously when I saw the image of the fake testicles attached to the Game Cube.
Considering that that picture came after the penis length chart, I'm to assume you took the penis length chart seriously?
I, too, have all three consoles:
:P
Dreamcast, PS2 and Gamecube.
I don't have the strangely packaged PC.
(Of course, calling the XBox a PC is like calling the PS2 a SGI workstation. Nevermind.)
Any suggestions on what would be some good Cube games to pick up?
Super Monkey Ball (if you like high-altitude monkey death)
TimeSplitters 2 (if you like being chased by flaming monkey death)
Eternal Darkness (no monkeys, fairly easy to finish, coincidence?)
Blast Corps 2 (hard to find, I know it rocks though, a giant monkey robot is a bonus vehicle, this time the truck is actively homing in on the buildings and contains the unexploited plotlines of BC1, having the same result as the nukes if released)
Someone set us up the bomb, so shine we are!
"Microsoft, however, is not made up of a bunch of stupid fuckheads as everyone assumes."
That's true, Microsoft's products are only BOUGHT by stupid fuckheads. We work with MS sometimes and find them quite a bright bunch, we don't use their awful products though.
That was classic intercourse!
