I have never understood why there is so much dislike towards the Xbox, well apart from the fact the console is another step in Microsoft's campaign for world dominion.
There are those who base there opinions on aesthetic values fine go ahead and call it an overweight Xblock, true it's heavy and difficult to carry around but lets remember these aren't portable devices like SPs, DSs, and PSPs.You buy one and carry it home and rest it where they are meant to sit, under or ontop (not a good idea with the Xbox) of your television etc.
There are those who claim it's just "computer without a mouse". They're all computers without a mouse.... I direct you to the GS article:
http://hardware.gamespot.com/Story-ST-x-1939-x-x-x though filled with speculation all next gen console are constantly pushing for better more advanced hardware, hardware i could only dream of having for my PC.
I could list many reasons I chose to buy a Xbox over PS2 or GC, but at the end of the day if i had the money I'd buy em anyway.... I have always wanted to Play FFVII and FFX and so on...
All i'm tryin to say is that though i have an Xbox i don't support them I... and note the emphasis... "BOUGHT" it because it had what i wanted most from a console. No matter who they are they, are still selling something and trying to make a monetary profit from it. Don't be a fanperson be a smart consumer/gamer and buy want you want not what they give you.
And for the sake of my sore, sore typing hand if you gonna say a consoles rubbish give a reason.... No scratch that, a valid reason. You wouldn't judge someone based entirely on their weight, would you?
