BongoBob Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 My mo goes to costco pretty much every week with my grandma to get various household necessities. While there, I had talked her into letting me get a new gamecube game...instead I saw the X-Box budle(system, extra controller, dvd playback kit, and star wars clone wars and tetris)...I remembered the price drop and saw the new price...$189.99. SO I am now the proud new owner oof an X-Box, and later we're going to wal-mart to buy games(KotoR, Splinter Cell, etc). Now if you'll excuse me, I must do the dishes to pay for it... :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Fisher Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Well, consoles really are crap. All crap. Its just that they have games made spicifically for 'em, so it has good graphics. Its that PC is simply better, and will probabley ride over all console in the future. No hard feelings to those that think XBOX is God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PC's will NEVER take the multiplayer hang out with buds and play videogames away from consoles. They just aren't built that way. Four buds hanging out playing some Xbox is a great way to spend an evening, and to pull it off with computers EVERYONE needs to bring theirs, set up the LAN, big time consuming mess. Plus, there are a lot of games that I feel are better played on a console.

Samuel Dravis Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Knowing exactly where everyone is on a map is not so fun...the controls aren't so great either. Besides, what's a console but a dumbed-down PC anyway? It's foolish to argue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ET Warrior Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Originally posted by Samuel Dravis That. Splitscreen = evil. Sports games aren't splitscreen. Furthermore, you can system link Xbox's to eliminate the problem of screen lookers, and with only 4 Xbox's you have potential for 16 player action, and you can still trash talk and scream and yell and have a good ol time.

It is true, I've seen it. Getting 16 people together for massive Halo is way fun. You get much more into the game when you hear the reactions of your enemies in the other room.

Samuel Dravis Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 So you really get 16 TVs together? Yeah...and for hearing your opponent scream in rage/frustration, there's always voice chat. Oh well. If you want to spend your money on it, don't let me stop you. Besides, I don't like sports games, and don't listen to arguments in their favor.

abcd1234 Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Samuel... Can you tell me the fun of sitting by yourself in front of the computer when you can get together with a bunch of your buds for some good ole gaming fun? I just don't see how they would compare. But that is just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiE23 Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 *Gets out a fresh, $149.99 Xbox, and whacks Samuels head with its 8 pounds of power and hard, bullet reisistant plastic covering, then starts choking him with controller cord till he is unconcious, then inserts Metal Arms and starts playing.* TiE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Originally posted by Samuel Dravis So you really get 16 TVs together? no. FOUR TV's. You system link FOUR Xbox's and you get 16 players. and voice chat is nothing compared to being able to run into your enemies room and insult them to their faces.

BongoBob Posted March 31, 2004 Author Share Posted March 31, 2004 Why do my threads have the attendancy to become arguments Well, we havn't gone to wal mart yet, but after school I'm there. Gonna try to work my mojo and get KotoR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Fisher Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Well, its still the split screen. That is unless, you have 2 TVs for one team, and another 2 for the opposing team Split screen sucks, I've found it out the hard way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
