Do you enjoy using coins to install hardware peripherals?

A. Coins? What are you talking about?
B. Yes. I enjoy spending quality time with the fine products of the U.S. Mint.

Answer:
If you chose A, you must have an Xbox. See, your Xbox already has a built-in Ethernet port all ready and waiting for you to plug in an Ethernet cable, hook up to high-speed Internet service, and get online!

If you chose B, you must have a PlayStation 2. Because your console is barren of Ethernet ports, you must go to the store, purchase a network adapter, and then use a coin to screw the thing in. You'll need all the coins you can get what with buying all those peripherals and paying monthly subscriptions for games.

ROTFL!!! And here is the actual documentation from the PS2 Network adapter:

The Network Adaptor easily connects to the PlayStation®2 system by lining up the Network Adaptor connectors to the Expansion Bay located at the rear of the PlayStation®2 system. Gently tighten the mounting screws using a coin, and you?re on your way!

Looks like Microsoft is having a little fun! hahahaha.

I enjoy playing LAG FREE games 😀
 
Question 3:
How many personalities do you have?

A. One. Duh.
B. Several. I'm kinda moody. Like a girl.

Answer:
If you chose A, you and Xbox Live are a match made in gamer heaven. When you sign up for the Xbox Live service, you pick a single Gamertag. It's your persistent online identity, so you can build your rep and your buddies can find you no matter what game you're playing.

If you chose B, you'd probably get along real well in the land of PS2 Online. Because in that world you need a new name for each and every game you play. So what if you have to remember 16 different names and passwords? So what if your friends can't find you online? You're a free spirit, right? Or is it just schizophrenia?

Question 4:
What's your take on dial-up Internet service?

A. Dial-up? Are you freakin' kidding me?
B. Dial-up is just as good as high-speed. For real.

Answer:
If you chose A, you're obviously a happening, with-it kind of gamer who would no more try to play online over a dial-up connection than attempt to suck pizza through a straw.

If you chose B?wait, wait, someone's still laughing? okay. We're better now. Um, dial-up is a fine way to play online. It's especially cool because that way you can have a special club of gamers to play with?since you won't be able to play with the high-speeders. You can call it the "Slow Club."

Question 6:
How do you feel about connecting your console to the Internet?

A. I want it quick and painless.
B. I enjoy complicated projects. I went to M.I.T.

Answer:
If you chose A, you'll love the way the Xbox Live Dashboard does practically everything for you automatically, and the Web site tells you everything you need to know to connect fast and start playing. We've even got provider-specific information and a logo program for equipment that we've tested and verified works great with Xbox Live.

If you chose B, you will surely enjoy the painstaking and arduous connection process possible with the PlayStation 2 online service. When you're not screwing in adapters, you're searching far and wide for info on how to connect. And ISP info? They've got phone numbers for a few of them. What more could you ask for?

You got quite the sense of humor 😛 😀 Xbox is making its way up there, and MS seems to be happy with how things are going. Not too bad for the first foray into console gaming.

I think kicking Nintendo's entrenched @ss with your first foray into console gaming is a pretty worthy goal to strive for.

And as far as Live goes...I'll lay 10-to-1 odds that Sony AND Nintendo executives (at least the ones that haven't yet committed seppuku in disgrace) are scrambling to put together *real* online strategies, given the unmitigated success of XBL.

I thought Nintendo was still pretty convinced that online play is useless and no one wants it? lol...
 
You know....More Aztecs were sold than Ferrari's this.

I'll be damned, you are right, by sales alone we know that Aztec's are FAR better than Ferrari's!!!!!!



Anyone else tired of that pathetic argument yet? Get a real one please.

Sales don't apply to cars well becuase there is a very real difference in price between an Enzo Ferrari and your Civic. Doesn't mean that the Civic is a better car, just means that more people can afford it. However, the consoles are relatively even in price, 200 for the XBox and PS2, and 150 for the GC. So, sales are a good way to determine popularity of a certain console because the console is bought for what it is, not for how much it costs. However, popularity!=quality. Britney Spears is a pretty popular artist based on sales, but most if not all music critics agree that she is at the bottom of the heap when it comes to music talent.
