Umm I know you have an Xbox, and you defended it in another thread. So I am confused.

10. They are the new console on the block. - Gamecube is the newer console
9. Their console is too big and heavy. - Why are you holding it?
8. Enough with the Halo already. - It's a cool game but I agree with you.
7. Bill Gates is evil. - Not killed anyone yet
6. It's just a cheap PC. - Needs to be chipped and not as flexable (yet) - It is what you make it.
5. Not enough "exclusive games" - Yes there is... how many do you want?
4. No Mario games on it. - No - thank God.
3. Who the hell can use those big controllers. - Big Chimps - Buy controller S.
2. Too much piracy...piracy=bad - You are guilty of this on Xbox.
1. Did I mention Bill Gates is evil. - Yes you did, and maybe he is.

Enough with the console hating threads, it's getting boring.

[devils advocate]

Top ten reasons why this thread is dumb:

10. The author is either a hypocrate or just riling people up for fun.
9. Console wars are lame.
8. A waste of the servers storage space
7. Puddwakkr is evil
6. All consoles are just cheap PC's
5. Hasn't this been brought up umpteen billion times ....Just this week?
4. If the console is too heavy for you...Quit benchpressing it.
3. Who really cares about Bill Gates? How does he PERSONALLY affect you?
2. MS, Nintendo, Sony are all just companies trying to have a high profit margin on their respective systems. They ALL care about their consumer, that's who buys THE PRODUCT.

10. They are the new console on the block.
Does something new really justify hating it?

9. Their console is too big and heavy.
I can agree with that.

8. Enough with the Halo already.
Haven't played Halo, so I can't comment.

7. Bill Gates is evil.
Question is...how?

6. It's just a cheap PC.
At least the owners of that system won't have to worry about updating it every so often just to make the new games play on it, like PC owners do.

5. Not enough "exclusive games"
Personally, I'd rather see less "exclusive games" unless it's something that that system alone is technologically capable of handling.

4. No Mario games on it.
I can agree with that. Same problem with the PlayStation 2.

3. Who the hell can use those big controllers.
People with big hands. Fortunately, there are smaller X-Box controllers for the rest of us.

2. Too much piracy...piracy=bad
Can't comment on the piracy issue.

Repetition doesn't count!

Windows 98 killed all of my old art along with my only hard drive at the time, so I only hate MS enough to steal from them. I plan on buying an X Box and another PS2 to go along with my gamecube. It's not about the systems, it's about the games.

Here, Here, although I'd add a new PC to that list also. I want them all! Every last one thats ever existed, no matter how big, small, american, japanese, heavy, light or fucking effervescent.

People who hate a particular console make me think of strange futuristic racists living in a Tron style world where the people with a blue glow hate the people with a green glow for some strange, irrelivant reason.

Am I the only one who got the sarcasm of this thread?! Oh and you forgot "No good games"

 1. Did I mention Bill Gates is evil.

It's amazing how everyone's dislike of the xbox boils down to hating Bill Gates for starting out in a garage with less than a thousand bucks, helping create a product that has revolutionized computing as we know it, and become a buh-zillionaire for his efforts.
The bastard.

Sheesh.

No, that would be Apple.

Bill Gates got a $50K loan from his parents to start/help his business.

Really? I never hear of that. I'll take your word for it.

Of course, Apple didn't revolutionize anything. Decent computers, but nothing revolutionary about them. Their big thing was that commercial back in the 80's.

Top 10 Reasons I Hate the XBox:
10. I can't have an XBox themed wedding because its colors are ghastly.
9. They aren't going to make a new Jet Set game.
8. Devil May Cry is on the PS2.
7. I have to get off the couch to turn it on.
6. No worthy Halo competition, come on Puddwakkr quit standing out in the open...sheesh
5. I've beat all my favorite games at least twice.
4. I have to wait another year at least for Halo 2.
3. I can't make up my mind which game to spend my Saturday playing.. Halo, no, BloodRayne... no Wolfenstein...no Brute Force... no Nightcaster II..no Devil May Cry, damn its on the not-hooked-up PS2
2. My hands cramp from playing too much.
And the #1 reason I hate the XBox...
There will never be an Azurik 2

Microsoft stole Windows from Apple, who stole it from Xerox, who stupidly didn't think anything would come out of these computers & gui's.

If Xerox had only developed it, imagine what could have been.....

[Mock]

I would guess an even more expensive version of what we have now...overpriced crap that doesn't work well.


You buy Xerox you buy the name...they make "decent" equipment...but, there are others who make better...Sharp, Mita, Canon...all better products than Xerox in a mechanic sense.

Didn't the GC come out a little before the Xbox?

Dude, it's about the games. I'm not a huge fan of Microsoft, but I'll admit that it is a good system. I don't like it as much as PS2 or GC, but should I have the spare money, I'd buy one.

[Raijin Z]

What I hate about:
PS2: Shitty hardware quality control. The optical assemblies always fail in Sony products.
Gamecube: No 3rd party killer apps, thanks mostly to people who wouldn't buy them if they existed.
XBox: I'm going to have to haul it around on a flatbed truck. Seriously, the whole X-Box live thing. I already have enough monthly fees just getting cable internet access to start with!

you can always use xbox connect for free

Puddwakkr I think you and I would fail as stand-up comedians.....

The following is from Steve Wozniak's site.

WOZ said:

Steve Jobs made the case to Xerox PARC execs directly that they had great technology but that Apple knew how to make it affordable enough to change the world. This was very open. In the end, Xerox got a large block of Apple stock for sharing the technology. That's not stealing outright.         

Apple didn't get any stock from Microsoft. Nor was Apple dealt with openly in this area by Microsoft.

I think they did in a way.. Isn't it called GEM and is a part of TOS?

The only revolutionairy thing about MS is that they can sell stolen goods (nothing MS is original) and trash (they started out with sources found in a trashcan). Usually selling stolen goods and spreading carbidge isn't allowed
