| Chronicles of Riddick was exclusive the last time I looked. Crimson
Skies was a totally different edition than what appeared on the PC and
to my knowledge Halo 2 hasn't made that jump either.
I don't really count PC titles against the exclusivity thing though, at
least PC titles that started on the Xbox and were later ported to the
PC. They're more like Xbox games that can be played on a PC rather than
a PC game that can be played on an Xbox, if that makes any sense.
The important thing is that they aren't on the PS2 or Gamecube.

Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge for Xbox and Crimson Skies for the
PC are not the same game.

Huh? 90% of multiformat games look better on the Xbox and GC than PS2.
Just look at IGN's regular comparisons.
The other thing is, are you a gamer or not. Console loyalty is really
really stupid. Over the course of this generation, begining with the
DC I have aquired all four conosoles as I want to play the best games,
and am not letting something stupid like favouring an International
corporation (I what the hell is point, where does it get you) get in
the way of that (as long as I can afford it  ).
Finally, I dont think anyone that has managed to take control of 90% of
the OS market on PC's will let anything be a flop. Bill Gates can
probably aford to make massive losses for four or five generations
until he gets his way anyway.

I guess.
He tried with Dreamcast and it flopped.
He tried with Xbox and it flopped. (4Billion in losses)
He will try with Xbox360 and it will also flop.
Stupid people keep doing things that don't work over and over again.

| Actually, I do own a PS2 and there are a hand-full of games that are
decent as long as you only compare them to other PS2 games. Once you
start looking at them in the picture of this generation as a whole they
are universally lacking.
Much like the Saturn games of last generation. Sorry Saturn owners, but
it had to be said.

God your stupid.
What do you do play God of War with Composite cables in 480i and compare
it to Ninja Gaiden in 480p with Components?
XXXX, you are stupid.

What OS are you using again? Oh, that's right. I guess he did something
right ;) Get a promotion from working the scullery and you might
actually be able to afford both.

| No, I have them both connected via component to my 51" HDTV and with
digital audio to my 6.1 surround sound. The difference is I'm not
blinded by loyalty to any one company. I've been called a Sony fanboy
in the past, a Sega fanboy, a Microsoft fanboy hell, even a Nintendo
fanboy once or twice.
What I'm a fan of is good gaming, and this generation the PS2 is not
it. Last generation the PS1 was. Next generation? Who knows at this
point.

You know Bligmerk is genuinely upset that he didn't think of that first,
right?

You probably thought KOTOR was a traditional RPG.

Just get the 360. As I said it's simply a regular Xbox with the numbers
360 on it.

| Nah, I had never played a D20 based RPG before. There were some plusses
and minuses to the system, but on the whole, as an RPG, it worked well.

I'd buy a new Xbox. The 360 is supposed to be backwards compatible, but
no one's seen this, and even Microsoft is saying only its "popular" games
will work.

I've known some gamer chicks. Never met anyone in person from usenet
though.

I thought chick implied hot? Some of them were very cute, though that's
just me...
Many gaming females I've known weren't "chicks", nor were they cute or
hot.

That gamertagpics site has some hotties. I just find it hard to believe
that these girls are playing Rainbow 6. Its a scam.
