Something I've been saying for ages, but hey, this cites even more examples!

A lot of those reasons are just plain stupid. Their little logo thing is the same and their sponser is the same...so freaking what?

The difference is Microsoft has about 600,000,000 times as much money as Sega did. Plus, PS3 is NOT known to have better "specs" than Xbox 360. Sony lies about it's specs every freaking system they launch. They get everyone amped up about it then when they get it it's not really as great as they said it was. They claim they had to "scale back for time".

Plus, I think Microsoft has higher quality products than Sony. Everything I buy from Sony breaks.

Take it easy Riot, look at the site's url again.. kind of explains why they made this stuff up.

You know you shouldn't put that stuff in there.. :shake:

What?

by **J@3** on Fri Dec 02, 2005 7:43 am

I'll probably get a PS3... if it sucks I blame Bang for trying to influence us all.

I think Bang's more of a supporter of the Nintendo Revolution, if I'm not mistaken :lol:

This is hilarious because Windows is probably the buggiest software known to mankind! Same thing with Internet Explorer!

And yes, I do support the Revolution. (If it wasn't obvious by now.)

Have fun with the Revolution, one step behind. Revolution would be pretty cool if it was launched with the past gen systems.

I haven't had any problems with Windows and I don't use Internt Explorer, so I don't know about that other stuff. But all the Sony products I buy end up breaking after a year or two. And it's always within a few months after my warranty expires. :lol:

Windows XP really improved in comparison with shit-ass buggy pieces of shit known as Windows 95, 98, ME, and whatever they crammed in between those.

I'm still curious to see if those Revolution controllers will live up to the hype, but let's not get into that, since there's already a thread on that.

As for Sony, like Riot, I hear about their products being shitty after as little as 2-3 years, so I'd be a little cautious.

hm nice.

Then there will be the Sony Playstation 4 so no worries.

The only good thing that the PS has over X-Box was that you could get a mod-chip for it and then you could play burnt games for $5 at China town.

by **hipn** on Fri Dec 02, 2005 11:12 am

The thing with Sony (Playstation) is that you can copy the games better than Xbox and and Ninteno.

PS2 game out in like 2000-2001 didn't it? So it would be like 5 years later, pal. :wink:

My brothers PS2 has been fairly consistent . Never messed up and he's had it since day one when it came out . Plays the same as always . Sony products for me don't break much , but Coby products always do.

by **Bang** on Fri Dec 02, 2005 2:11 pm

Well PS2 and PS both had record amount of recalls when they launched, so Sony is quite known for releasing products too quickly.

by **Jugs** on Fri Dec 02, 2005 3:26 pm

I still don't understand why the fuck Dreamcast was such a fucking flop.

It pisses me off.

My cousin explained it to me that they "released it too late and too early"
The Dreamcast stuff was nice so my guess is they should have waited a few years to figure out they could put games on DVD-Rs. Or should have started earlier and released old-gen type games on Cds or whatever.

Nintendo seems to be mostly for little kids. Maybe 5 games I actually would like on it. The rest are cartoonish. Half the titles are Mario something.

Far as xbox goes I don't think MS will mess up. You mention windows and IE but guess what... You may have firefox or netscape but you are on windows. Don't say Linux eather you can't play Live on it.

Far as Sony im sure they wont be any better or worse thier specs are lower but sony makes thier hardware work better for running software. Its ore about what you like more.

Halo, Mario, or RPG's Lol

by **J@3** on Fri Dec 02, 2005 3:58 pm

I still don't understand why the fuck Dreamcast was such a fucking flop.

Same, I bought one for like $20 with 3 games and it was great.

In the trading post, there's sometimes Dreamcasts with 250 games for like $400

something like that

by **Null17** on Fri Dec 02, 2005 4:08 pm

This is what I thought when I knew that 360 was gonna come out first but then the span of time between the 360 and ps3 releases isn't that significant compared to the dreamcast and it's competitors. The other reasons there were more or less a coincidence though. Besides, Microsoft is too rich to let the 360 go the way of the Dreamcast

Well it looks like I won't be getting my 360 for a little bit, so I guess I'll have some extra time to think about it. But I mostly want to get rid of my piece of shit gamecube as quickly as possible, so that's an influence. There's so many different opinions and no clear-cut winner, so I'll problably say fuck it and get a 360.

by **hipn** on Sat Dec 03, 2005 8:57 am

Don't get rid of your GC, well atleast don't sell it at EB games or trade it to game stores because they will only give you areound 2-5 dollars for it. Keep it and maybe get Super Smash Bros. and play it in your free time.

Save it for Zelda at least. It's not going to give you much in EBGames.

Bang, what is your opinion on the new Revolution controllers? I personally think that is probably the most douchest idea ever.
