Subject: Re: [NG] GC vs XBOX
I personally wasn't all that impressed by Xbox at E3. The controller seems
too bulky and the games all appeared to be way too early in development
stage to really get a feel for 'em. But that stuff about crashing and
patches... bah! This isn't Windows on a thousand different PCs. It's
Windows on a closed system, with tightly written code. There wont be any
BSOD or other familar crap. It'll be a good system. But like I said, so
far... it's not something for me. I'm more interested in Gamecube and later
Ill probably pick up a PS2.
All Im saying is that Microsoft has a history that a lot of people are going
by to judge the Xbox. You shouldn't do that. Wait for the system to be
released, see how the games play, and I'm betting you that we'll all be
surprised. But it may never be the system for you, and that's fine. But
all this trash talk is just ridiculous.
