SPAM DROP BOX v5.0

[spike]

yeah, you cant touch this gs. spam is spam, and we decide what spam is.

...and i guess that didnt make any sense what so ever. point is, you cant touch this

btw, 2000 here i come!

Nah, I wouldn't touch your lousy spam...but I can merge your double post. 

[BTs_GhostSniper]

Oh, I wasn't going to touch it, and I wasn't posting as a moderator...just wanted to see some real live spam.

I just wish someone else who knew anything about consoles would post in here. Myst who are you to say PS2's library of games is superior to Xbox? Yes there are over 1000, count at least 500 of those as bullshit low budget titles trying to cash in on what they see as a good opportunity. So 500 titles, now every title that is on Xbox that is also on PS2 is far superior in every way. So that's about 200 or so. With the other 300, there is a viable competitor on Xbox in some way. Except for Katamari Damacy. That's all I play on my PS2 at all anymore. Most innovative game ever, again not by Sony themselves.

Metal Gear Solid has been far overated since the first one. GTA has always been overated. Sony's cartoon character games have been a joke. Final Fantasy is downright stupid, although it has it's followers. I actually like to play my games, not watch them play for me. Oh, and Gran Turismo is always going to be beat by Forza, as long as there is no damage and they force you to play with the inferior dual shock. That's all they have. 989 sports is decent but EA still has them beat.

God of War is the one franchise on PS2 that is actually worth a shit. I look forward to it on PS3.

Oh, and about HD-DVD vs Blu Ray... Just as many companies are endorsing HD-DVD. There is no clear winner in that, I'm thinking HD-DVD will win because it's a cheaper yet decent format.

For the most part, people don't even touch old games. I admit there will be one or two games that I continue to play on Xbox 360 that were on Xbox. But fucking PS1 games? Come on.

Myst about the console race, we are going to be looking at a 300 US Dollar Xbox 360, and a 400 dollar plus PS3. You gotta expect at least 75% of current Xbox owners will make the immediate switch to 360, plus by the time PS3 comes out, Microsoft will drop to 250 and PS3 will be crushed, couple that with Halo 3 as the best looking game ever made (more than likely) You can't expect many mainstream gamers to be buying PS3. The odds are against it. I'm sorry to bust your bubble, but it's true. Get a job working in the video game industry and maybe you'll hear a few things.

If someone else in here would post a conflicting opinion with me or Myst, I'd make a thread just for it.

[BTs_GhostSniper]

Sorry, the last console I owned was an Atari 2600...around 1980-1982.  Can't help you with anything newer.

[BTs_Mysterio]

HD DVD vs Bluray is irrelevant, X360 USES PLAIN OLD DVD!

Dell DJ/Rio Players are all cheaper than iPod, but the iPod is still at 90%. You continue to compare [hardware-wise] XBOX to PS2, this is about X360 vs PS3 and the PS3 is far superior architecture to X360. You can't dismiss 500 games which you don't like crypt, obviously many like them or else they would never exist or become top sellers.

I've owned 2 XBOX which get no support from MS and are very unstable systems. I have played on PS2s for a long time as well and can't remember have the same frustrations. I guess this is why I own macs and not windows PCs.

bs there was no reason to lock that thread. just because the thread is finished does not mean you lock it. it means the thread is finished and it will die.

if you feel some of the posts are spam, delete them, however i think most of the posts on there were on the top of gs being a mod. this forum has few enough posters and posts as is, locking threads doesnt encourage conversation

[BTs_Mysterio]

That thread would have gone down. Locking it speeds it up.

[crypt]

It's not far superior though, they aren't out yet, and I don't give a shit what Japanese people are bullshiting about in hardware tests. Most of the PS3 dev kits have been distributed to Japan and Japanese are the biggest fanboys to anything Japanese over American products. I wish Microsoft would drop out of Japan all together. It's a market that can never be conquered by anything American made.

I am not saying anything about microsoft putting dvd drive in the x360, I'm saying the PS3 will not push the Blu Ray format enough to make it the market standard. Sony will have to put in a very fast Blu Ray drive that will load faster than the Xbox. Believe it or not, but the current DVD drives load faster than Blu Ray drives. This will be very expensive for Sony to make, thus why they will not be able to compete at a decent 300 dollar pricepoint. It's going to be the end of the road for them if they release at anything over 350.

theres no need to speed it up. if people post more, it will go away faster. if you lock it, itll just sit there as a locked thread. if you lock it for a bad reason, its a semi permanent embaressment...as I have found out more than once.

[BTs_Mysterio]

I disagree crypt, but we beat this issue to death. Let us simply wait for the marketshare numbers to calculate by Jan 2007.

Apple Online Stores are down, worldwide, that doesn't look like a simple maintenance downtime... new Mac minis? new iBooks? most probably (not that i know anything already as Apple employee ).

Edit: ah good, the Stores are up again, without any changes. so that means it's all prepared for this coming week. ^^

Wewt - Just got my new road bike yesterday and tried it out this morning...so much fun.

I have been riding a Mountain Bike for a while - mostly on the roads because there are no good trails around but it's frustrating how much friction the tires cause and how much energy the front shocks absorb going up hills.

So I have a Giant OCR2 and it's so nice - I was just gliding around and zooming up hills. 

[BFG]

looks like a real beauty! i used to do a fair bit of trail bike/ mounin biking type shinanagans but i grew out of the bikes, had my last one stolen, and got to lazy! Id love a road bike though, tried a friends out year ago briefly and gliding was definatly the word - felt like heaven after a clunky mountain bike on the roads.

[bronto]

same thing happened to me bfg. my biking interest pretty much ended when it got stolen. it got stolen once before but i found the kid and kicked his ass and got it back, but the second time i just couldnt be bothered.

[BFG]

I kinda have problems finding large enough bikes as well... last bike i had (before it was stolen and boy would i have liked to have mashed the little f*cker) was a touch small and i looked even more like a clown on my comedy bike than ever!

[Croosch]

yea... I don't buy consoles anymore

[BFG]

Oh my gawd... Ive gone BLUE
