XBOX rocks

Zardon · Dec 27, 2002, 09:36 PM

ok im not going to get into the argument over which console is better, cause im not writing this for that reason.

I got an xbox for christmas and man I love it !

I ripped about 30 cds for a little house party to the Western digital hard drive inside it, and it hasnt even made a dent in the storage.

I also have it wired into the TV as my DVD player with the remote and the picture and dolby digital 5.1 is really high standard. very impressed.

as for the games well I got about 5 and I just bought buffy the vampire slayer (after shukis recommendation), what a great couple of games, Halo, Splinter cell ... sega GT.

looking forward also to the panzeer dragoon orta, shenmue 2 and a few other new releases im seeing out soon.

My wee bro also got a gamecube and ive been playing at that as well, another great little console !!! some cute little kiddie games on that.

ive had a great christmas, too much to eat, too much too drink, and alot of game playing/movie watching etc.

As for the XBOX ! console? pffttt, more like a handy little multimedia PC !!

Sweet,

Just curious... did you get the Xbox Live!? With broadband?

(My bro in NC has it to pass time while he wait to get shipped... and he said it rocks!)

I was thinking similar, "Gosh, this is a NEAT toy!" about my kid's gamecube. It's just an AMAZING console, and it's perfectly suited for the kids.

Damn it, it IS a fun time to be alive!

Oh, you want to get old skoolz now do we? How about this - I still got a Macintosh 512K RAM! Working condition, still have a couple of games on it... link to see what I'm talking about is... right... here! : http://www.lowendmac.com/compact/512k.shtml Though I know I'm going to be betraying my age by saying this, but that was even discontinued before I was born! (its still mine - I grew up with her, and she was my first computer ever :smiles: ) 8 whopping mhz!

I still got me VIC-20.

ToshiroOC · Dec 28, 2002, 06:57 AM

I have a deck of IBM hole-punch cards, though I don't have the mainframe to go with

I also happen to have one of those old BNC network cards... damn, those were the days when you didn't need no fancy "hub" or "router" to hook computers together...

Oh, and digi, I cleared some room out of my PM box, should be ok to send now
