I gave myself a Gameboy Advance. Woot! I was afraid someone was going to get me an Xbox, don't want one.

I gotta ask WTF when people get excited about an Xbox. I gotta assume people here gotta computer so why not go with a decent vid card and get as good or better graphics without shelling out for a seperate machine. I just got NFL 2001 for the puter and all I'm running is a GTS and a Tbird900 and it rival any game console I've seen!

Xbox has better graphics than any PC right now, so that's one reason to be excited about it. People point out how similar it is to a computer (as if that's a bad thing), but it's got a kick-ass next generation nVidia graphics chip and a bunch of other features for a measly $300--it's still a good deal even if you already have a PC. The Gamecube is a really good value, as well. The PS2 has comparatively crappy graphics, but it's got a lot of good games, so there's lots of reasons to still own a game console. I'm sticking with my computer, but I'd be happy if I found an Xbox under my tree, too.

What? NFL 2001? Are you talking about Madden? If so, Madden on the PC doesn't hold a candle to Madden on the Xbox. The X-box version is far superior, and this is coming from a person who has played the PC version on an XP1800/GF3. Contrary to what you claim, a Geforce 2 cannot rival an Xbox, which uses a graphics processor that is slightly better than a Geforce 3.

Bwahahahaa... have you actually looked at an X-Box game?

Granted, the games look VERY good. But they are not above PC levels yet. The Dreamcast has games that rival what the current batch of X-Box games look like. They only lack the minor details that the X-Box can crank out which makes it shine.

As for the PS2 having crappy graphics.. go look at Gran Turismo 3. Then tell me another racing game that looks that good and runs that smooth. Project Gotham? Nope, I played that for 2 hours tonite at a friends place and even it cannot rival GT3.

Are you into football games? Then get NFL Fever 2002 or Madden 2002. Amped is another good title (snowboarding), and I would also rent Silent Hill 2 and/or Max Payne.

You also have to consider the fact that many of the current Xbox titles are ports of PS2 games. Wait until next gen games come out.


And as far as PS2 having "crappy graphics," it really depends on the game. Have you played the new Bond game on PS2? Looks really poor.

As far as games go, I have played/own the following games and they are all great in my opinion.

Dead or Alive 3
Tony Hawk 2X (good if you don't have the first 2, or can't get enough of Tony Hawk games)
SSX Tricky
Nascar Thunder 2002 (just got today)
Halo (just got today, and this game rocks!)


I still want to pickup Project Gotham, and Amped sometime.
