cas 0 Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 i have a xbox since 4 months ago...it's awesome! and i have also the snowboarding game called 'amped' it's the best boardergame so far (most realistic sb-game)! Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted March 9, 2002 Author Share Posted March 9, 2002 My g/friend bought me one yesterday. Didn't sleep last night. For a number of reasons. Great stuff - something to do when the snow disappears. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted March 11, 2002 Author Share Posted March 11, 2002 amped is just awesome. Calling all boarders - go out, get an XBox and Amped, and enjoy.... Link to post Share on other sites
cal 6 Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 Can you play DVDs on the XBox, grungy? Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 I saw a story on a tech site called "the Register" saying that the Japanese XBox can scratch DVDs (and I don't mean like DJ Premier). Just so you know.... [This message has been edited by NoFakie (edited 12 March 2002).] Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 How does that game compare to Gamecubes SSX Tricky? Link to post Share on other sites
welly-uk 0 Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 XBox is more powerful than Gamecube so I presume better. There was a problem with scratching of the CDs but it was blown out of all proportion it seems with just a handful of cases. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted March 22, 2002 Author Share Posted March 22, 2002 Highly recommended everyone! Go get one Link to post Share on other sites
oo 1 Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 so which is the best to go with out of the XBox, PS2 and Gamecube?? (If you want only 1 of them) Link to post Share on other sites
brit-gob 9 Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 Avoid the ToyCube. Get XBox or PS2, I would go with XBox. Link to post Share on other sites
cal 6 Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 Dont know that much about this subject, but from the vibes I hear from my Japanese friends, PS2 is by far the most popular machine out there. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 The Xbox is really being pushed hard. They have them stacked up behind the counter in 7-11's. That's more than can be said for any of the other makes isn't it? When I heard Msoft was getting into the market, I figured they wouldn't be taking any prisoners. Link to post Share on other sites
oo 1 Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 XBox has sold about 170000 in Japan in 4 weeks. But over the last 2 weeks, just 25000 units. Get this: In the last week - 10,000 units for XBox In the last week - 78,000 units for PS2. Interesting hey? PS2 is unstoppable. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 The xbox doesn't seem to be selling well at all in Japan - struggling to sell any of 'em. Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 i have a gamecube and the pros and cons are this: PROS: cheap better than PS2 graphics-wise CONS: nearly all games are in Japanese, and thus difficult not many games out (maybe 20 now) games are 95% kiddy oriented not as good as x-box graphics-wise no DVD, internet etc If I could turn back time I'd get an x-box for sure. But, I have fun with my cube. Wouldn't consider a PS2 even though you can get the games for free on pirate, its that crappy. Who is buying this machine now???!?!? Link to post Share on other sites
blinkin'ek 0 Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 Gamecube is by all accounts kiddy-land. Although they are getting the Resident Evil series/ Link to post Share on other sites
