The first examples of the X-Box had a fault, which had to do with the CD thing being too high (or something like that), causing discs to get scratched. But any newly manufactured one should be flawless - that's just about everywhere outside the US.

And whether it's good or not I can't say, I'm no expert, but it certainly is better in graphics and sound to the Playstation2. Not sure about the relation to the *nicks term* lunchbox (Gamecube).

Hope that helps a little.

As for saving up: Ouch, bitter, bitter! Suck up to your parents some, that can help. Wash the car or something like that. Make them proud of you. *grin* Er. *eyes her mother in the room next door* And don't tell anyone I told you that. *laughs*

That only happened in Japan.

Of course it isn't faulty. Who says it's no good? They're just Sony or Nintendo fan-boys/girls.

What other system can you get DoA3, GTA3, Halo, MO, THPS3, JSRF, and PGR on?

Oh, baby; I gotta have one! Sounds like it was developed in Vykkers Laboratories.

*Gasp* Too many... abbrevia... brain losing... poop... *sputter*

GTA3 = Grand Theft Auto 3? That hasn't been confirmed.

XBM confirmed it. I don't know on whose authority though.

Majic · #9 05-02-2002, 09:59 PM

Hm, GTA3 is coming out, woo hoo... Abbreviation, eh? Heh, that makes it all the more, er, cooler... But hey, find extra jobs and do stuff for nieghbors, X-Box is perfectly safe... Or as safe or safer tahn any other system out there. Besides, you wont trip over the controller cable and have it fall on you (like playstation, ouch) and you wont have any lid slam on your hand (ouchies...). That seems like a good enough reason

Vykker Sean · #10 05-03-2002, 04:28 AM

Thanx for that.. but i'm going to really suck up to my mum... ( 8.30$ so far ).

The Xbox is ahead of the rest, I myself am a Playstation 2 fan mostly but i dont let that get to me, Xbox by far is the best so far. Unfortunately it's sales are going very poor in Australia, Europe, Japan and maybe even the US.

I've got some specs to show your parents Vykker Sean:

Playstation 2-

Main CPU: 294.912MHZ
Graphics Processor: 147.465MHZ
Total Memory: 32MB
Memory Bandwidth: 3.2GB/Sec
Polygon Performance: 66M/Sec
Audio Channels: 48

Gamecube-

Main CPU: 405MHZ
Graphics Processor: 202.5MHZ
Total Memory: 43MB
Memory Bandwidth: 3.2GB/Sec
Polygon Performance: 6-12M/Sec
Audio Channels: 64

Xbox-

Main CPU: 733MHZ
Graphics Processor: 250MHZ
Total Memory: 64MB
Memory Bandwidth: 6.4GB/Sec
Polygon Performance: 125M/Sec
Audio Channels: 256

Those are truly staggering specs.

Oh my satan. That is bad. I thought GameCube would be better than that, even though I expected it to be worse than the XBox... again, I overestimated something I was told I underestimated. Jeesh, that's scary.

How can Nintendo dare put something like that on the market after the PS2 and the XBox were released? I'd be ashamed. O_o

Gamecube sucks, thats why.....

SeaRex · #15 05-03-2002, 06:51 PM

Hey, now. So far, the detail in most GC games is fairly good.

RoN_Rancor · #16 05-04-2002, 06:18 PM

My US xbox scratched one of my disks, but that's just because of something stupid that I did. I had forgotten and left my Halo disk in, and I wasn't looking when I put an OXM disk in on top of it. (Don't ask, even I don't know how I put it in without realizing Halo was already there.) The OXM disk got all scratched up, but my Halo, thankfully was untouched. The OXM disk still works, the disk just looks funny.

Majic · #17 05-04-2002, 06:24 PM

Ouch dude, that must be whacked. And its funny, I did my last post here at school. My friend next to me went whacked and hit me saying "Dude!". I must admit, Rouge Leader and SSB Meele (yes...) are pretty good. But X-Box andDreamcast are still the top two systems!!!

***Alcar*** · #18 05-04-2002, 08:14 PM

What i find shocking about the Gamecube is the Polygons per second it produces, it worse than the PS2.

PS2: Prince
GameCube: Peasent

What scares me about that is that people refuse to buy the X-Box, just because it was made by Microsoft. That's almost a hate crime! ;) *laughs*

Yes...... I'm sick of people who say that. There like "O, Microsoft sucks, they don't make game systems, o its to expensive, o the games suck" Crap like that. Excuses excuses...

Even the people who claim Windows to be unstable. Sure, there's people who really know the difference, but there's so many people who just take it for granted and diss MS Win for instability whilst it may not piss them off personally at all! That's what I keep being surprised about, how people refuse to think for themselves again and again.

And the argument "Microsoft/Gates is too rich"... uhm. Why should I care who gets my money? I just want the console. *chuckles*
