What is the best console

[Gazor]

Choose the Console that you think is the best!

[Decoy]

Your forgetting a few consoles there.

[Shamus]

What about Gamecube, Playstation, SNES, etc.?

[MonkZero]

i like ps2, but now that some of my friends have gc, i love gc, the games are fun to play with others.

[penguin]

ima go old skool with ps one

[Threeboy]

that's not much of a list.. can I put none of the above and vote for SNES?

[mr. box]

gotta be SNES or Gamecube.

[NMO]

probably playstation 1 for me, heh it's the only one i've really got.

[Threeboy]

from the list i like PS2 the most.

[SniperCatWXL]

Xbox is by far the best.

[digital]

this poll sux arse redo it and add more options

[penguin]

i second that :D

all i have is regular gameboy and ps 1

[NMO]

this poll sux arse redo it and add more options
Agreed.

I like them all, but I'd have to say that X-Box takes the cake. Just my personal opinion. I don't have anything against the rest tho.

But if you want to go ol' school, NES ownz them all.

[NMO]

I'll go ps2, because it can play ps1 games.

[Threeboy]

and PS2 has a big library...

and PS2 ain't microsoft.

[NMO]

That also. Absolutly true.

[MonkZero]

But if you want to go ol' school, NES ownz them all.
Hell Yeah!!

[SniperCatWXL]

Why does everyone hate XBOX because its made by ms .Its a good console isn't that whats important.

[digital]

its not a counsel its a tuned down pc

[MonkZero]

its not a counsel its a tuned down pc
lol. thats sad.

its not a counsel its a tuned down pc
without all the problems associated with a PC, like compability, and hardware upgrades. Ever thought of that? How about not having to buy a memory card.

[digital]

in a few years xbox will suck and M$ will release a new counsel and you will have to "upgrade" to that
its the same as buying a new top of the line pc every few years

you should watch your spelling.

isn't that true with all consoles? they release one, and a few years later they release another.

NES -> SNES -> N64 -> GC
PS -> PS2

Of course you can expect MS to release another one a few years later, technology is moving so quickly the difference in performace is assumed to be an incrediable leap, whatever console you may get years from now. And it always remains your choice about upgrading, you never 'have to' upgrade. :rolleyes:

My friend told me that ps one back then was suppose to team up with nintendo but somethign happend i forget that made ps its own.

[digital]

i am talking more of the hardware and the setup inside the machine
its much closer to the pc then other consoles, its not as 'specialized'
its more like a striped/standardized pc for playing games on your tv
also any of the worth while games for xbox are out or will be out for pc or another console
*looks for spelling*

[Square_Eyes]

Me and NMO went to EB and tried out the XBox i can't remember the game that we played but it really sucked.... The controller is too big the graphics are ok but not that good as my pc has but other than that its not bad.... I still rather a Game Cube... Star Wars roxorz!

[Threeboy]

i like nintendo.

lol i love people like digital, he makes forums so wonderful, i cant believe he doesnt talk in leet while he makes retarded remarks

anyway, im all for the xbox, i love it, i love all the games for it (well more then the other 2), plus like scoot said, it is not even close to a pc, its a fricken console.

i also cant wait for online in a few months, they actually seem serious about it...

[NMO]

I think i still prefer my computer as a gaming machine.

[Threeboy]

I think i still prefer my computer as a gaming machine.mines for working on.. games are a bonus.

[Threeboy]

anyway, im all for the xbox, i love it, i love all the games for it (well more then the other 2), plus like scoot said, it is not even close to a pc, its a fricken console.consoles usually have alot of custom components developed SPECIFICALLY for the console..

Xbox is alot of off-the-shelf parts.

xbox has freakin ide cables i mean whats next? raid controllers? x box firewalls?
when does the insanity stop?if you dont like it, then dont buy it, but bashing a console is so sad, i bet u would get it if it was for free

i would get a gc if it was free, but the games arent worthit to me to buy the console, its all on tastes

[digital]

its not about the console its about microsoft destroying everything that consoles are and stand for today

its not about the console its about microsoft destroying everything that consoles are and stand for todayoh ofcourse, its all that evil ms corporation!!!!!!!!

...comon, if they didnt do it, someone else would have...

[digital]

yeah but that someone else wouldnt be a huge monopoly

[Square_Eyes]

The XBox and GC are selling for $300 if you trade in 10 PSX or N64 games in Australia.

[SniperCatWXL]

its not about the console its about microsoft destroying everything that consoles are and stand for todayHey if you don't like MS then don't buy XBOX . XBOX isn't hurting you is it.

[MonkZero]

my ploblem with xbox is its size and some of its games. Halo and some other games i like. but there were just some that were just lame and wasnt worth buying.

[digital]

ok i wont talk about it anymore heaven forbid i post my opinion

[Square_Eyes]

Here is a story on the XBox Controller and why it is so big.....

[Threeboy]

i like the japenese systems.

[Square_Eyes]

*gets hit by a flying XBox*
ouch...

oopps sorry NMO.... :P :P :P

[NMO]

WTF you saying sorry for? it's obvious the Xbox did it itself.

my ploblem with xbox is its sizewell its not supposed to be your replacement for your game boy,

and the controller size is not a problem, unless u have really small hands, i have friggin pudgy hands and i love the controllers.

[MonkZero]

i ment that its bigger than my vcr. jeez.

i ment that its bigger than my vcr. jeez.how is this a problem?

[Threeboy]

my ploblem with xbox is its sizewell its not supposed to be your replacement for your game boy,.but gamecube and PS2 are smaller... and even NES/SNES/N64/Jaguar were smaller. The trend is to make things smaller as time progresses...

We allready have big american cars, wtf? big american game systems?

Lame.

[MonkZero]

[SniperCatWXL]

All you guys are LAME.You guys are arguing about games ,ON THE INTERNET,Don't your guy have somethng better to do,or are you lives that boering.

[digital]

Lame.i really dont see the problem?

why arent vcrs and dvd players smaller, why arent home entertainment systems smaller, things are progressing and they are still big, and those arent american products, i really dont see how u dont have the room to space for a friggin console, this is the most retarded arguement, its a friggin console, and also the gc doesnt have the things that the xbox has, so if u dont want all the better features, then keep the damn gc

i really dont know how a size of a console makes u decide on buying it?

[Threeboy]

why arent vcrs and dvd players smaller, why arent home entertainment systems smaller,they ARE.

Right out of the box,
GC plays games. Xbox plays games.
You gotta pay for DVD playback in xbox, LAME.

and if it's big and lame, yeah, people wont buy it.

look at Apple with it's iMac's and whatnot, some people buy those SOLEY on apperance.

[Decoy]

All you guys are LAME.You guys are arguing about games ,ON THE INTERNET,Don't your guy have somethng better to do,or are you lives that boering.
This is a Discussion Forum, they are disgusing the Consoles.
If its so lame why do you come here? Dont you have something better to do?


back on topic...
Your missing a few Consoles in the poll.

"if its big and lame"

"people wont buy it"

looks like alot of people are buying it too me, but obviously more xboxes sold then gcs sold in NA is really fake? its 100 more dollars then the gc and the gc is still getting beat...

[Threeboy]

not worldwide dude, Xbox isn't selling in japan well.

Nor europe.

big american systems are like big american cars, you can only sell them ot americans, cause the world don't want 'em.

[Square_Eyes]

The XBox seems to be selling in Australia pretty well..

not worldwide dude, Xbox isn't selling in japan well.

well what u going to do, its an american console in japan, even if it was really small it wouldnt sell here

Nor europe.

what? since the proce drop, sales have sky rocketed

[SniperCatWXL]

We're expecting a price drop in the U.S. ($200.00) at the end of may.

[MonkZero]

We're expecting a price drop in the U.S. ($200.00) at the end of may.
Ha, then whoever buys it before that is gonna feel sorry. I ment the people who buy it this month for 300.

the sales havn't SKYROCKETED... they're doing allright for europe.

[Threeboy]

sony did good.

[MonkZero]

sony did good.
I think they did great.

[Gazor]

Sony did great i have a PS2

[Threeboy]

Dude. it has the biggest library of all systems.

But yeah, I got it mainly to pickup the final fantasy's and the other RPG's i missed out of in the N64 days.

[Shamus]

PS2 doesn't have very many good games worth buying.

Dude. it has the biggest library of all systems.and that really matters when only a handfull of them are good.

just like ps vs n64 days, n64 didnt have the library that ps did, but it did have better quality games

but like for every system, which games each person likes is only their opinion.

[Threeboy]

Yeah, i didn't have a PSone.. i DID have an N64 though, still do, and over 50 games :D

[MonkZero]

wow 50 games. i can go for a NES but the software i go is charging 50 bucks. i guess its rare now.

[Threeboy]

wow 50 games. i can go for a NES but the software i go is charging 50 bucks. i guess its rare now.i got an extra deck i might sell.

[digital]

if i wanted to play nes or snes i would use roms and emulators its not hurting nintendo since they dont even make money off them anymore

[MonkZero]

i got an extra deck i might sell.
I might buy it, unless its on ebay. and if its less than 50 buckers.

[Threeboy]

it's going on ebay, and it'll probably sell for $15 at the most.

[MonkZero]

damn. oh well, i dont lke ebay from all the reports of rip offs. but if its from you, then i might bid.

if i wanted to play nes or snes i would use roms and emulators its not hurting nintendo since they dont even make money off them anymorewhat about the used game stores, they are losing money from you :P

[MonkZero]

digi, did you ever play sky kid? its the funniest thing ive ever played. great with 2 players.

[Threeboy]

damn. oh well, i dont lke ebay from all the reports of rip offs. but if its from you, then i might bid.dude.. check the feedback of the people BEFORE you bid/buy.. that's what makes ebay good.

[MonkZero]

lol this one guy was selling a NES, and the report was all on how good he buys things. hahah. now i dont know if i want to buy from him.

[SniperCatWXL]

Sony did good.Well the only other console that could compair would be 64 but with how expensive the games were (and still are) I'm suprised PSX didn't do better.

[SniperCatWXL]

[MonkZero]

w00t price wars! i've heard that sony might lower the games to 40 bucks.

Sony did good.Well the only other console that could compair would be 64 but with how expensive the games were (and still are) I'm suprised PSX didn't do better.now u do have a point there, the ps1 really didnt have the competition that the xbox has.

The reason the X-Box doesn't do well in Japan is because of localization -- the process of translating a game and making it more pleasing to the culture. Example, GTA3. There was a LOT of localizing when bringing that game to the US... Another reason X-Box doesn't do well in Japan is because of the Japanese companies. Companies like Kanomi and Capcom said that they will not make games for an American console. They don't want the Americans competing with them, which is understandable.
I personally think Microsoft shouldn't get too involved in the scene. They're not going to win.

Microsoft get enough money from thier PC software. hasn't Bill Gates got enough money!!!!!!

[Shamus]

hasn't Bill Gates got enough money!!!!!!
You can never have enough money. ;)

bill gates shares his wealth. he's a chairman among many chairmen. therefore, he doesn't own microsoft all by his little old lonesome self. in fact, if the other chairmen get together and vote, they could remove bill gates of chairman status. but that will never happen because it's his ideas that keep the company going.
also, most of bill gate's money is on paper. if he were to cash in all of the "papers" microsoft would go bankrupt. well, there's your econ lesson of the day :)

Xbox has great games (Amped, Halo - though it's totally fucked up with that huge controller and the general controls, Goldeneye had better controls) but it's still the seed of evil (=Billieboy)

arrgh, I won't vote
