LMAO, Microsoft knocks Sony's PS2 online gaming network :)

hahaha I'm a PS2 fan but I thought that was really funny. I can't wait till Sony kicks microsoft's ass in the online gaming dept....because they already have them beat with everything else.
 
Umm XboxLive isnt exaclty going to be the Zone. Its a totally new service(which will also run the Zone eventually), that MS spent $1billion on.

As for Halo being the only good game on Xbox, you probably dont have an Xbox. Theres more than just Halo, and this is coming from some that also has a PS2 and GC. I have twice as many Xbox titles as I do PS2 titles, and I have 4 times as many Xbox titles as I do GC titles.

i was going to get the adapter for madden 2003 online, but then i found out that EA sports will only let you play 2003 until 2004 comes out, then they won't support it online anymore. thhus forcing you to buy the same game every year just to play online.


Really, though, after a year, I'd bet money that you would either A) buy the new version anyway, whether it's online or not; and/or B) be tired of playing Madden 2003 at that point and would probably have trouble finding others still playing 2003 when 2004 is out.

You could always get 2K3....they said they wont cut the servers.

your on crack aren't you😛 most peoples monitors cost more then an Xbox😛 its a different market, deal with it😛 a 199 dollar pc is a pos pc😛 hell my mouse would eat 25% of that budget already😛
 
HAHA!

That reminds me, IIRC, that when Intel opened some offices here in town AMD (Fab 25) bought some Kentucky Fried Chicken and put it at the front doors one morning at the Intel office.

I do. Same user name as here

Nice, I used to be a mod there for almost a year before growing tired of it. Ugh, goddamned kiddies...

On a side note, console wars are so f'ing lame it's amazing ... I mean jesus there are good games for all the consoles. Just play what you like, I work a dead end job at Target for petty spending money and to make my way through college and I'm still manage to own all 3 consoles (4 if you count the GBA) and own a kick ass PC (in the process of upgrading).

Ugh, fighting over which games are "better" than the others is so retarted.
 
Funny, this coming from a company who touted the console's internet capabilities right out of the box, yet was still beaten to the punch by Sony.
 
I hate Microsoft, and wouldnt bother buying an xbox even if it had a good game or two, but I think that is pretty funny 😀

Regardless of the fact that it took Sony what? Two years to get there?

Just over one, if you consider the Tony Hawk 3 setup online gaming. If not then yes, two.

True, but the console itself would be two. I wonder what sony's response will be, I haven't seen a good console battle since the Dreamcast vs PS2 days.
 
sony's already won the console war for this generation...the way i see it the only competition is between x-box and gc for second place 😉

Never underestimate the power of gobs and gobs of money.
