Playstations are fashionable, X-boxes are 'for poofs' as my freind would put it.

Ah well America wont have playstations anymore, more for us then! Timespliters anybody?

YoYo i only buy the system for it's game base.
Not it's specifications.

Also this statement of yours:
20 bucks for a memory card that holds something like... two game saves

Is utter rubbish.
I agree that it's no harddrive but it gets the yob done for almost all the games i have.

Now stop being a consoleboy.

All systems have their ups and downs.

You go ahead and play your timesplitters. I play the best FPS to date. The first Halo.

And as for the comment about the memory cards. I think the one I had could hold something like... 18 slots? When there are more then one person playing the system... so you got to figure at least two saves per game... 18 isn't that big of a number.

Ah you mean the ps i mean't the one for ps2.

And i slightly agree on the ps.

But some of those games need ALOT of memory.

Civalization (95% of a mem card)

Populus (100% of a mem card)

Harvest moon (35% of a mem card)

etc etc etc.

And comeon comparing two systems that are like 2 generations between isn't real.

This arguement's been going on since 'which is better, Mario or Sonic?'

I play a PS2, and I've got no problems with it. I like the enormous gamebase, and they're reasonably durable. I mean, I wouldn't go switch to an XBox, but if I had one of those instead of a Sony, I'd be fine with it too. Video games just kick ass! :wink:

end of a playstation era

:shock: And just who is the best mario or sonic?

Personnally i have to say sonic because i was hooked when playing it on the old megadrive .which still survives gathered by cobwebs somewhere in the attic along with an old zx spectrum and a lovely pair of blue suede zip up boots by bjorn borg whosever they are yuck.

I have all three consoles, and currently prefere the ps2's game base but the xbox control system and hardware. The gamecube games are far to expensive for me.

I prefer the Xbox because it has the most graphical muscle of any of this gen's consoles. I find the controller is intuitive and fits my hands nicely, and I'm a huge fan of both Halo games.

Games that are available on multiple consoles usually look the best on an xbox, and there aren't many games that are console-specific for other consoles that i find appealing.

Now, I don't own ANY game consoles. I just play other peoples' when I want to play a game, and the games that I most often want to play are on the xbox.

There is "NO" comparance between the PS2 and Xbox/Gamecube

The Ps2 is so outdated.

You can ofcourse compare the new ps3 to the xbox/gamecube :P

I'll stick with my PC. Due to not owning a television, or wanting to pay £100 per year for a TV license.

I'm not picking sides CM.
But it's a known fact that the playstation 2 is 2/3 years older then the "next gen" consoles. I own one myself.

The only complaint i'm having is that the parts used for it are "rubbish"
I would have gladly payed 100 € more to have some more durable parts (the lens :()

Right over your head there mate!

I was just saying how your other comment was a bit camp.

EDIT: unless this is to do with the word poofs, I thought it was universal. Ah well you can figure out what it means then.
