Doug, you completely missed the point. Nobody is comparing the hype of the XBox and Cube to the PS2 launch. The PS2 launch was a phenomena that happens every so often. In addition, the PS2 had no competition and it was widely known there were production issues and would be a shortage at...

quote: Every website that I have gone to that is not an XB (or any other console/company) fansite has had a poll of some sort or a letters page and the general idea is that people are preferring the GCN and PS2 over the XB ... That might explain the amount of unsold XBs Other posters on this...

I would exchange the game first before exchanging the console. Once or twice in the past I have had games that were defective and had to be returned.

I checked five stores in my area and it seems Best Buy got the largest allotment. In addition, the Best Buy near me was taking Rain Checks today after they sold out there supply. I would be aggressive and call two or three stores such as Best Buy very often to find out the dates and times of...

Snuck out of work and stopped at five stores (Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy, CC and Meijer) around 2:00. All of the stores had already sold out their supply of the XBox. CC was the latest to sell out at around 1:00 PM. Target had two large signs posted at the front entrance that said "XBox is...

I stopped by the Electronics Department at two of the 24-hour stores (Wal-Mart and Meijer) in my city and saw lines forming for the XBox. I then went over to Best Buy and saw XBox games and accessories, including Monster cables and DVD kits, flying off the display shelves. I talked to a couple...

A snippet from the article:

If you are at Best Buy buying XBox games tonight or tomorrow you may want to ask the sales people if any other games are in the back. Dead or Alive 3 and Project Gotham Racing were not stocked in the XBox display yet at the store I went to tonight and you had to ask an employee to go in the...

Let the reviews begin. The reviews on the new consoles should be rolling in now. My local newspaper, The Columbus Dispatch, reviewed the XBox and the Cube in the "Technology Section" of the November 12 paper. The final conclusion: "Serious gamers will get more satisfaction from the XBox and...

So far it is: Gamecube - 18 XBox - 15 PS2 - Most posters have this already. I expect PS2 to dominate the Holiday shopping season this year.

Sounded more like a Microsoft review rather than an XBox review. The following quote from the Newsweek article exposes an obvious bias on the part of the reviewer.quote: Lift up the emperor’s new threads and you’ll see the same old company single-mindedly focusing more on market domination than...

XBox. Just talked my boss out of a PS2 to an XBox instead. So I get two votes.

This was the worst of the three episodes. I find noone likeable on the Samburu tribe. Lindsey, Kim and Brandon are acting like they are in a sorority. Does Lindsey, although very pleasant to look at, think she can win this thing on arrogance alone. Brandon has no credibility. Kim is bland...

Are you kidding? When this movie first came out, I took my then 4 year old son to see it. Darth Maul quickly became his hero and he dressed up as Darth on Halloween of that year. Of course, now he is demanding I buy this DVD even thought I hate the movie myself.

I thought "Goat Man" (Tom) piled on Clarence a little too much. How did Clarence keep from decking him? Things should get interesting between these two.

Thanks Calvin. You convinced me to go ahead and purchase the XBox instead of the PS2. The way I look at it, if a reviewer of the XBox who had a preconceived bias towards the Cube can write such a positive review, then that really says something. I also did my part today when my boss said he...

Let's just hope the DVD has the option of viewing the theatrical version of the movie with scene cut or the otpion of viewing the movie with the cut scene restored.

Still hanging on to my $600 tax rebate check I received in August. Just enough cash to pick up both the XBox and Ultimate TV for Christmas.

I also agree that since your neighbors have already reached the point where they felt the need to call the police, a mutually acceptable resolution is probably out of reach. Hard feelings like this tend to turn into pissing matches. Before I moved into my house, I lived in an apartment with...

Nope. It did not work for me. I just saw it as two more people crying on TV after what seems like hundreds. These same two guys will be criticizing President Bush soon for his War on Terrorists and are the last two guys I would want fighting beside me. I have not forgiven Dave for his childish...

I also think this issue has been overblown. Talk about a case of false expectations. What true Home Theatre buff would think that a piece of hardware that is to be used and is marketed primarily as a game console could also double up as a high quality primary progressive scan DVD player. Most...
