Xbox

cheers for the DIVX thing

but........where can i find a free DVD decoder/codec thing, coz iv just had to delete my old one coz it wouldnt work with Xp....etc...mer

If you've got access to ftp, i.e bulletproof ftp or cute ftp or anything like that (not explorer) I'll turn my ftp server on for you tonite and put everything you need into a folder... plus there's some mp3', ps2 images, pc games, pc software, fil,s, porn, [img]smile.gif[/img] loads of stuff really..

do tell, dont be shy

well xbrick is a bit shit, the only good games are halo and splinter cell, but the controlers are arse and to watch a dvd you have to falk out another ?20 the ps2 has red faction 2 witch is as good as halo for me cause it has geo mod cause you can blow walls open witch is ace and some very original viachels to control, and ace weapons , and the getaway and vice city are amazing. if you ask me get an ps2. and you ask why ps2 aree a bit more.. cause there better!

but the x box has got an 8 gig hard drive, ps memory cards are ?27. but playstation dvd player is better quality!

Yeh thatGetaway is ace, even if I can't get the hang of the missions.

ha ha ha Splinter Cell and Halo are probably the worst games on it, ie Splinter Cell if theres an item it needs to be used, how linear is that ?

then again it needs to be easy for girls, heres a couple of things from a video games site and not just for xbox

The Microsoft Xbox launched with exactly 18 games. Now fast forward to almost a year later. The Xbox video game system is still selling like crazy with over 70 games for the average and hardcore gamer. With 3 launch titles, that sold over a million copies, and one ''Game of the Year''.

Xbox Hardware -

The Graphics -
Supporting High-Definition games, Xbox has some of the best graphics ever seen in a video game console. Xbox's graphic processor is a 250MHz custom chip, which is named ''XGPU'', developed by nVIDIA and Microsoft themselves. The heart of the Xbox, or its CPU is a 733 MHz chip crafted by Intel. This is the most powerful CPU ever designed in a video game system. Xbox's maximum resolution is 1920x1080, meaning the graphics on a 72' HDTV can be played just as well as on a 28' regular screen TV without a single spot of a different.

Graphics Score - 10/10

The Sound -
Xbox includes some of the best sound ever heard while playing a video game. That's right, I'm taking about Dolby Digital 5.1! If your not familiar to what dolby digital 5.1 means, then think of a speaker. Just one. Now times that by 5. That's right, you will be able to hear sound from 5 speakers while playing an Xbox game. I mean 5 different around the room 3 in front, 2 in back, plus the sub woofer hidden around the living room to create a big rumble. Isn't this rather unique? But I assure you, that's now all. The sound in Dolby Digital 5.1 is much better then your TV sound for example. Its much better in quantity and quality. A big thumbs up for this as well!

Sound Score - 10/10

The lastly and foremost feature, is the Xbox's ability to rip songs off of CDs and burn them onto the harddrive to listen to your own songs while playing some of Xbox's games (This includes Project Gotham Racing, Amped, Fuzion Frenzy, both Tony Hawk games, and some others). There's one catch though. The Xbox will only play CDs that you purchase in stores or CD-RWs that you burn songs onto in audio format. No exceptions! But, sometimes, and only sometimes, the Xbox can play CD-Rs! Not all of them, just some of them. I'm sorry, I really don't know which ones.

Extra Features Score - 10/10

Final Review Score - 10/10 Astonishing!

Not my words !

X box may well be the technologically superior machine..but wasnt that true of the Sega Saturn???
It has got better support from the public than the Saturn had,but not half as much as they or anyone expected....

I dont think its a case nowadays of a dominant console...there is definately a market for more than one machine...ps2 wont die,and I disagree about the people dont buy games...I bought ff9 to play on the ps2..true I wont do it as much...but now there is a market for retro games and there will be in the future too...how many people have started buying cheap megadrives and snes and stuff???They had quality games too....

I still await to see a game that I will love on the Xbox...
