Dr_Teeth

I have a PS2. I sold it ages ago coz i never played it, i missed the final fantasy series so bad, i had to buy it again.

tipperaryboy

What i mean is vote on the console that you play the most if you have more than one.As for that atari one i have never heard of that one before,must be a very old console.So who is the fellow Xbox owner??

amp

I don't seem to have the ability to edit the poll. Would have chosen X-box, ps2 and Atari Jaguar.

Retr0gamer

Wheres the Sega Saturn. I'm currently playing that the most.

Have a Sega Megadrive, Playstation 2, Playstation 1, Xbox, Gamecube and a GBA.

tipperaryboy

Retrogamer,you $$$ rich person!

delly

No NES option?? Tsk, Mario won't be happy. I could have put C64 as well if it was a choice, remember that you can put cartridges into the back.

/me heads off to watch the episode of Miami Vice i recorded on Betamax last night

Zulu

N64 + 4player Snowboard Kids. - What else could a man ask for???

Not really. A summer job gets me enough money to buy the consoles and games I need for a year with ample money left over for boozing.

OMG get yourself to a car boot sale and pick this up with a copy of Tempest and Mutant Penguins

tman

i have all three consoles gc xbox ps2 got them fairly cheap too

Headshot

any one have pictures of the next cosoles [ps3 xbox 2 etc] or even any details on them

evad_lhorg

No because none of them have been shown yet. e3 2005 is when it will all kick off. no specs are around yet but it's said that nexbox wont have a hard drive.

also according to game developers at EA the production costs for the nexgen games will be much higher which will more than likely raise game prices. personally I dont fancy payin 80euro for a game

Stephen

what's with all the polls from this one guy?

sci0x

Well, here are a few PS3 pictures, and thats a picture of the Xbox 2 below too.

evad_lhorg

yea theyre called fakes. they did all this with the xbox and the ps2 and nintendo "dolphin". and none of the designs were correct. they wont show them till next year!

grimloch

i have a ps1 and 2 but might invest in a gamecube seems to have picked up a bit recently...

as for nexgen theyre most likely going to be pricey

my dumb as$ went out and bought a ps2 when they came out for 380 pounds i believe, won't be doing that again im going to wait for a nice reasonable price tag

evad_lhorg

I didnt know the ps2 was that pricey when it was released. I thuoght it was 300, not that that's cheap.

darkmaster2

SantaHoe

Xbox, Dreamcast and I think there's still a megadrive sitting around here somewhere.

Cabaal

X-Box modded with XBox Media Center
I don't even use it for games

evad_lhorg

what exactly can an xbox do when modded? I know it can play emulators and you can make the hard drive bigger. can you go on the net with it? ie go here on it? how does xbox live work? do you jus hook it up to your ntl broadband or whatever and play away?

smoke.me.a.kipper

at my house at the moment ive a n64 (playing goldeneye at the moment) and a ps2 that i borrowed to play tigerwoods (dont play this much since getting back into goldeneye and mariokart). ive a nes in the car too. back at the folks place i have a megadrive, ps1, gamecube and xbox (my brother might claim he owns the xbox and gc )

evad_lhorg

I have a nes sittin in my room beside my n64. a gamecube on my big telly downstairs. had an original gameboy around somewhere, sold my color one a while back. gonna get an xbox within the next month

rainbow kirby

GameCube
GBA SP
2 N64s.
And I'm looking for a SNES at the moment. I'm not really interested in buying an Xbox or a PS2, no matter how much I get slagged in work over being a Nintendo fangirl.

neXus9

Thought the ps2 would just about beat the xbox but the xbox is leading (by 20%!).

I have an xbox and a gamecube myself, although I only really play the PC tbh. Got a new small controller for the xbox, so maybe things will change. I'll have to check out ninja gaiden.

Creamy Goodness

really a pc man here but i have

PS2
Gamecube
GBA
old chunkified gameboy
gameboy color

i've an old sinclair light gun but no console or anything

neXus9

Yeah, you can't beat the fps with the keyboard and mouse. Pity they don't have much support for vibration mice. Ifeel mouse had that feature (the concept of the mouse was that it was for use by blind people. Think brail. It had rumble support though for soldiers of fortune 2 and I guess a few others).

Halo worked quite well with the control pad (the chunky one IMO is great for fps). The game was very arcadey and there wasn't that much snipe or be sniped action or difficult rainbow six style accurate shooting, so you didn't really need the flexibility and sensitivity of the keyboard and mouse.

Horsefumbler

ps2 that i never play. Gamecube that i seldom play. GBA and GBA sp that I seldom play. not mad about consoles any more

The xbox is a bad console. But what you can do to the xbox is what makes it good.

The console's hardware is actually quite terrific. The hard drive is pretty good for ripping soundtracks for games, endless game saves, extra levels/ add ons, virtual memory (which worked great for halo and resulted in it's lack of loading times in levels), you can buy a media player for it for music/video, among other things.

The console is the only one that can perform in game surround sound. The graphics are pretty good, and I like the way the cord is quite long on the control pads and has it set into two cords, so you don't yank the console on to the floor. Also the emergency pause feature for when you disconnect the cord is great.

It also has a built in network card for broadband/LAN games.

Also uses DVD 9 for games, where's ps2 only uses dvd 9 for their dvds.

I remember talking to this guy and he was the biggest ps2 fanboy ever. He had done an internship in london with them, and even though he did a computer science degree, he still was convinced that the ps2 was more powerful then the xbox. He kept going on about the bandwidth and tried to confuse people by ranting on about hardware architecture, etc. I hate it when people are just so jaded.

Retr0gamer

The xbox hardware is pretty nifty and by far the most powerful of the 3 consoles. However a console is judged by its games and the xbox has the least amount of exclusive games that I would call essential. It does have some great classics such as Ninjan Gaiden and Panzer Dragoon Orta and some very promising games on the way (and from Bungies past track record Halo 2 should be excellent). However many of the good games are available on other formats and the PS2 and GC for me have far great exclusive games.

Saying the xbox was bad was a bit much. I wouldn't be disappointed if it was my only console. But when you get the xbox modded its a whole different beast. Emulation alone would makes it essential for me.

neXus9

Tbh, I don't really play consoles any more. I think ps2 and xbox don't really have that many good exclusive games. I don't really think the ps2 has that many good exclusive games compared to their mammoth selection. You'd think there'd be more decent games for how many are out there.

I'll have to give the gamecube another try.

BTW, got silent hill 2 (ps2) and silent hill 3 (PC) both for a tenner in Smyths (they didn't have the cases). Two games for a tenner, can't go wrong!

sci0x

Both games for a tenner!! That was awesome. I remmember playing Silent Hill 2. First game I got with my PS2. AMAZING GAME, and quite terrifying at times.

neXus9

I remember silent hill 2 took me ages to get into and I had to bring it back before the action really began, which frustrated the hell out of me. I was thinking, silent hill 2 aint that good, but then I heard that it gets much better and you have to give it some patience. So I'm gonna give it another go.

Swifty

Silent hill 2 is class. It has one of the scariest monsters I've ever encountered in a game (I now have a phobia of anything pyrimidial ) . It's really one to play with the lights off and headphones on full blast, especially as its mostly the soundtrack and the creepy noises that do alot of the scaring throughout the game. It's a tad slow paced and if you really hate the survival horror games like the Resi Evil games you mightn't like this. Definately worth another try getting into though nexus, it's one of my favourite PS2 games. Should be on platinum now too.

Retr0gamer

I love the low light filter that they used in Silent Hill 2. It was very realistic and drew you into the game more. I think ID should have used a similar filter for Doom 3.

Best game ever...
