Mafia-like???? Cmon what the hell are you talking about? Does MS Loanshark?, take bets?, import drugs?, do we find lots of MS employees in ditches in silocon vally? Yes corprate buisness is not for the light hearted, but looking at enron, red cross, AOL, and a ton of others I say GOOOOOOOO! MS!!!!!! Look at what sony did to the Dream cast. I think that was the best sys for the time and every one ended up waiting 2 years for a supped up Dreamcast(PS2)!
Your right a little bit . Yes PS2 has one this round! But the fact remains the xbox is a superior system with grafix and game play. Ps2 is on there 4th gen. games. Xbox is just starting their 2nd gen of games. and There is a huge difference betweern PS2 allied assualt and XB Halo! Now remember PS2 won't be out till 2005- 2006. And if the basic 1st gen xbox games a killing the Newest Ps2 games who knows for the next 3-4 years. I personallt in america know 4 people who bought xbox's, 0 who bought GC's, and 6 peole who bout PS2's. But of the 6 PS2's 3 of them have gone ahead and bought xbox's. The one problem with the xbox is asia. They are very patriotic. They will buy a Subaru over a Ferrari just because it was made in Japan. Then combines with MS's rep the main argument against the xb is MS itself not the sys. But mabey Xbox will drop the asian market and just stick to the rest of the world with the xb2. Plus MS has a 20 year plan. So the battle won't be over till its the XB4 vrs the PS5. I have an XB and a PS2 and I havn't turned my ps2 in in two months and neither has the 2 other peeps I know with both. So who really knows I'm happy.
THey already do that the progs called CPX ?????. But it convers an xbox game to a PC game. Still few bugs with it I hear. But 1 prob you need a P4 2.2g with 1 gig ddr and a Nvidia 4 to run a game. So it won't be useful till tech is cheaper.
I dunno bout you but my parents quit buying me PC's when I turned 13. and I cant afford 2000 dollers every two years to buy a new sys. And then what am I gonna do buy a ps2? got one I use it as a place to put my xbox games when I'm not playing them. As far a quality xbox has no competion then the PC. PS2 is outdated and horible Jaggies. and I dunno bout that 3inch GC cd's. You people need to get over the whole MS being the devil thing. I think its nice to see and American Comp. Making money.And as far as xbox being a proto type PC for locking pc's down is the most insane thing I've ever heard. You don't think the MS has thousands of thingsto do. With constantly battling Pirates and other rivals? And the huge base of programmers that are just going to go unemployed? MS is not stupid The whole point of a PC is to be able to write your own progs for it. Plus they spend 500,000 on new security and 2 months later a 13year ole from China cracks it.? as far as a lockdown sys. Their just keepin up with the jones.
Damn your right. So let me get this right so I know what to get. The $200 pc, Then a new Nvidia G4 since the comp only has a 4meg card and the G3 is missing an x-chip. Then I solder a ddr chip in the Sdram slot. right? Then I install a starndered dvdrom. and so bam I have a PC I can hook up to my TV and run 2 year old Lindows??? games just like an xbox. Oh yah gotta replace the pathedic chip ???(Says = to a 800mhz Celeron) with a 700mgz P3. So basically I spend 200 for xbox , 150 for card, 80 for ddr and 70 for a dvdrom and 50 for a P3 700, and a whole lot of slodering. Damn thats only $490 What the hell am I waiting for and it don't even run xbox games!!!! Where my credit card?
