PS2!!!!!!!!!!

its the one and only!

Oh and the Third Place is the (Joint) third place that Nitendo and MS occupy in terms of the console war!!!! LOL!

If u want a console with the largest selection of software (in all genres) get a Ps2. I have a Ps2 and played all the others and any one who thinks the XB is soooo much powerful should just look @ Colin McRae Rally 3 on both formats and there is so little difference between the two versions.

You would only notice any differences if u were a GFX wh*re and then its only v minor texture improvements in the box version. We are all being told that the box is waaayyy more powerful than the PS2 but there just isnt any software out on the XB that moves the goalposts from what the PS2 could do anyway.

Also from a control point of view ppl on the PAL IGN boards said that the PS2 version just played better as well (this could be just an issue with box controller tho')

Ps2 has the best Racers, Footie Games (Pro Evo2) Japanese RPG's, we have the GTA series, MGS2 and anything else will prob be coming out on PS2 as well ( Bill tried to buy Take2 to make the GTA series a box exclusive -hard luck Bill! )

Sega... Western... sorry but from years upon years of playing their games I can't help but think of them that way, obviously by nature they are an Eastern company (Well D'uh) - but in their style of game creation, I think they really are. Am I insane for thinking that?

Yes. I can think of very few games for either Saturn or Dreamcast which were 'western' in their design, and none at all made in-house by Sega.

wasnt the Linux project scrapped because they decided to was too much hassle to break the HEAVY encryption on it?

From what I can see - it has been done, I haven't tried it myself though - but upon doing a quick sweep of the web you come across several people who claim to be running it.

There is a debian type distro and a mandrake 9 distro out there.

link to debian type distro - http://xbox-linux.sourceforge.net/index.php

Mandrake download - http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=54192

Dont be at yourself

Essentially, there is 2 parts to the Linux project. The first stage, which has been completed, is to port Linux to the XBox. The second stage, where they are having trouble, is getting it to run on an unmodded XBox.

If you get an xbox you get 3 good games (halo, JSRF and splinter cell) and a dodgy one (sega GT). After that though your choice is limited to dull american action/adventure games and mediocre sports games that are on every console any way. I like to buy loads of games during the year and I don't like sports games therefore for me the xbox is a very bad choice. There isn't anything on it that I would call essential. Therefore I won't be getting one in the near future. Probably will buy one in later on but only if there is a game of FFX or Mario Sunshines quality on it. Won't be happening soon however since microsoft have only bought out american publishers and developers and the japanese won't sell out to them.

and plus splinter cell is coming out on pc so its all good (if its not out already)
