X-Box plans from Microsoft…

Who wants to buy X-BOX?

Well let me answer that: NOBODY!!! http://www.cdfreaks.com/jochem/../smilies//smile.gif

xbox is for LAMERS ! i'm enjoying my PS2 !!

here in U.S.A ahhh that sux, we still are waiting for our psx 2 modchip and plus ay if you can bootleg games for so called X-Box shit Y not? =0)

the x box cannot compete, it is not bold enough to be a proper platform, too close to the pc (not that the pc is at all bad, just different), and not capable enough at what it does, i.e. needs installations, to beat the competition, which is quite strong! http://www.cdfreaks.com/jochem/../smilies//smile.gif

Maybe the Xbox can be very succesful. We just have to wait and find out for ourselves.

Yeah i want too see a blue screen whit a module error 32432 on my tv http://www.cdfreaks.com/jochem/../smilies//smile.gif
NOT!!!!

Ik denk dat de xbox nog veel succes zal hebben. Jullie breken hem al af en hij is nog niet uitgekomen. Hij is dubbel zo snel. De psx2 de grafisch gedeelte is veel verbeterd tegenover de psx1, maar trekt nog op niets tegen over de pc. BELIEVE THIS!!!

I agree 100% with x I've played on a ps2, cause I tought that the grapic quality would be finally better or equal like a pc, but to be honest...the graphics still SUCK if you compare them with a pc using a nvidia or 3dfx powered accelerator, the graphics are better then the ps1 no doubt about that, consoles are better on many things (faster,cheaper if you use copied games, etc...) but a console that matches the graphics quality from a pc is still not on the market...I'm affraid http://www.cdfreaks.com/jochem/../smilies//frown.gif

x = Firehell http://www.cdfreaks.com/jochem/../smilies//smile.gif

zoals altijd wordt alles weer afgekraakt of het nu psx 2 dreamcast of wat dan ook.. het is nooit goed ...
nu de x box weer ..
erg zielig . als je nu goed doorspaart kun je er misschien eentje kopen na uitkomst. want dat zal het wel zijn JALOEZIE....

Come on guys PSX2 SUX BIG
The best resolution PSX2 can do is 640x256, and with the help of the interlace method goes 640x480 max..how...nice since with my GeForce Ultra i'm playing at 1600x1200

Any console is only really of use to people if games can be copied. I have had a PS2 and sold it, I have booted up Dreamcast software and noticed that basically there isn`t really that much difference between the two. The PS2 is already dead as there are only a handful of decent games coming out for the PS2 in the next two years. A lot of stuff is old rehashed software like theme park. Personally I will not buy another PS2 until it can be hacked. As for the X-Box, have any of you got power PCs? If you have then you should know that PC games are pretty shit hot, you can apply patches, have more saved games etc. Ever played a microsoft game? Motocross madness 2 is a very shit hot game, and it`s microsoft. Play it and find out.

Dennis you don't know anything about TV do you ? Normal TV have very low resolution, therefore there is no point in the PSX2 or any other console to go higher. To everyone, many of us like consoles better for certain game - like fighting games because of the better joypad controls - the PC is great - but most joypads are just crap !!!!!!

well furst of all PS2 dun suk. well dun blame da PS2 blame da developerz!!! they are not spendin enough time on there software!!! n PS2 barely came out fer 2 monthz and all their gamez are first generation gamez!!! compared to Dreamast there are like in there 3rd or 4th generation gamez if im rite. newayz PS2 rulez, Xbox sux meanin BUGGY! Nintendo jus late like 3DFX!!! Bad marketin strategy!!! Well i reallie luv 3DFX but now they die, o wellz.

Dear Tim2001
Can't you just see that
TV or not , monitor or not, 640x256(480) sux nowadays.Especially for a such HIGHLY priced console.
I'm sorry guys, but it seems that i got spoiled by my GeForce 2 ULTRA and 21" Sony Monitor

X-Box is gonna rule. Why? Because 99% of Microsoft products kick ass, Xbox got gfx accelerator from Nvidia and it's gonna have shitload of games. These are the facts. U can't argue whit facts. I hate consols but this one sounds really promising. Save your money from japanise shitboxes, this baby is gonna be goooood!!! (Only real PC will be better...)

Xbox will probably krash like the microsoft operating system ;-)

Nowadays I still love my old PSX! There are a lot of great games!!!

Jealousy is a motherfucker, u weak jealous motherfucker if u a jealous motherfucker u just a weak motherfucker, now see u in tha time, weak motherfuckers just wanna bring u down.

Got IT!!!!!!!

Gonna sick my nose in, and piss some people off!

first - TV has 625 lines vertical
(unless U'R in america!)
horizontal resolution?
tv horizontal is linear, so if you can generate 20000 pixels across then it will try to display it.
how good it looks is down to he design of the tube.

now - X-BOX.

if his shit takes off then the first thing to pirate and install will be LINUX!!!!!!!
WIN-CE can fuckoff, my friend has a cassiopia running CE,
what a shit-heap!!!!!
HE is hoping for a LINUX port soon!

for now - G-FORCE2 RULEZ!!!!!

That some replies are removed proves how lame the guy that handles this section is -- over & out!

Check the facts. X-Box will run with a Win2000/whistler core. It will not be WinCE. Win2000 core IS stable. The instability comes from wrong dll version installed by 3rd party software! The core will be on a chip and you will not be able to fuck it up. Each games runs from the DVD and the stuff it must install on the HD will be seperated and cannot inpact other games. And since hardware is standard, I don't see why it won't be as stable as the games are coded. Fuck PSX2, this baby will have gigahertz CPU and a new generation nvidia chip which is up to many times faster than Geforce2 Ultra! 64 mb ram sounds strange but let's see what it ends with as ram is very cheap at the moment.

Has anybody ever thought of what actually makes the consoles and the games?? It is all done by computers! So what is the argument between computers and consoles choosing which is the best? Consoles are good but will never be as advanced as the computer! AS for graphic wise, computers will always be one step ahead! The only downside to the computer is that bugs are found on the software! Remember that when creating a game on the console there is a limit to every aspect of the game but in a computer, the skys the limit! Oh yes how can u judge what the X-Box is like before it is released? Just because u hate Microsoft does not mean it won't turn out to be a great console! http://www.cdfreaks.com/jochem/../smilies//smile.gif

HA HA HA HA HA HA

The basics is having fun whit playing a game no matter what platform it`s on!!

i have a pc,psx,and a ps2 and whit all i have fun thats what its all about!

dcan any one please tell me how to copy burned dc games

Dude you all guys suck, firs of all Xbox have been improved by hackers how can it gets better than that. Noone of us haved seen the best it can do cause it came out recently just wait Xbox its going to fuck nintendo gamecube and psx2 at the same time.

I have seen some demo games from X-Box (I live in the UK so yet to see the REAL thing). From the demo screenshots I like Microsoft's marketing strategy, I noticed even on that Sega racing title every billboard has a nice Microsoft logo on it (is it like this in the real game? Could this be MS's requirement for developing games for X-Box? - probably!) Reading through some of the posts about X-box I have thought about the following comments:- TV resolution - I have a 3DFX card with TV Out and I've managed to get our Philips Widescreen Pro Logic to display a resolution of 1024x768 so TV's can display higher than 640x480 (I also wanted to try and get the 3DFX card to display it in 1024x576 (Widescreen) but 'cos it's none standard my 3DFX card won't display it. Now that's what is needed in a games console, the option to display the game either in Widescreen or normal mode (which would be an easy trick to do with modern 3d games). Also I can't believe nVidia have done the 3D GPU for the X-Box, that means I definatly won't be buying one. I have tried 5 different nVidia graphics cards in my computer and every time I got one, it either ran all the games to slow, or totally screwed up my computer and left drivers all over the place, or just crashed every game I ran on it. I lost my faith in nVidia along time ago when I was looking for a cheap alternative to the 3DFX (in the end I settled for an ATI Xpert 98, which got replaced with a Voodoo3 3000 (and still haven't found anything that comes close to it's power)) And also the great demise of most console systems has to be the price of the games, this christmas I was looking at getting a PS2 but after seeing all games around the £50 mark I thought no fuck that why should I pay a quarter of the consoles price just for 1 fucking game, that's most probably a copy of every other game (either Wolfenstein 3D or Tomb Raider, just with different or slightly enhanced graphics). To make the console successful they should release two sections, a budget section and a full price, the full price for all the idiots who want to pay £50 for a game that's nearly identical to the budget ones at £5, and the budget ones for the sensible people who can buy about 10 different games for the price of 1 and just wait for the full price to come down to budget level. This is how the PC survives in gaming. Either that or if the full price games can't be copied then the console will struggle as well (look at the N64 - that will teach you for being greedy, fuck you Nintendo) - another way the PC survives, as a lot of people (like me), get the full price games when they first come out as a copy, then when the developer's decide to lower the price go and buy the budget version (like the "Sold-Out" range) (paying the developer for his/her work and remaining "legal&quot. And finally someone made a comment that you shouldn't get blue screens on the X-box 'cos you only get them on PC 'cos 3rd party manufacturer's don't know how to write drivers but the X-box won't have any 3rd party hardware - WRONG! what about memory cards? cable boxes (I believe the X-box does have ethernet for cable modem doesn't it?), joystick, joypads, steering wheels, USB devices, all will require some form of driver and there will be third party's making these devices (like the PSX, first you just got SONY memorycards, then other manufacturer's figured out how to make memory cards - some of which now can crash the PSX due to corrupt drivers, memory, parts, etc) As far as I can see the Microsoft X box will be another console to end up like Microsoft's other computer building attempts (the MSX and the MSX 2 - I suppose you could even look at the X Box as the MSX 3 - what is it with Microsoft and X's?) nowhere. (MSX's are old 8-bit computers that used the Z80 processor and 32k of memory and were really simple to use and easy to program, but only got somewhere in Japan 'cos they were beaten in the US and UK by the Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum - despite being sold by numerous electronic firms including Sanyo, Toshiba and Matsushita (Technics/National/Panasonic).)
