I'll send Graham any copy of Windows he wants if it means getting these wallpapers.

Graham, why are you still using Windows 98?

Actually, no. You have done no such thing. You've done the exact opposite. The Sega and Xbox fanboys brought the realists out (such as myself). We have shown you for what you are, and enjoyed your futile efforts to prove yourselves superior. Shhhh, its ok, baby, we understand your pain. Acknowledging your problem is the first step to recovery. A vast majority of console gamers have put their support behind the PS3. They do so because they owned and were satisfied with the PSX and PS2, and like the selection of games available on Playstation systems. I have the numbers to back up this opinion, you do not. Now personally, most of the gaming I do these days will center around my PC, but I will own a PS3 for franchises such as Final Fantasy, MGS, GTA, Xenosaga, and Ace Combat. I know, as most gamers do, where the good are.

Man, could you get any more bitter over a system you never owned? You want to pretend you are speaking up for the rights of PS2 owners, when in fact your only intention is to continue to knock the system as a fanboy. Could you be any more transparent? What it all comes down to are the games. People go where the games they want are. For the last decade, that's been the PSX and the PS2. By the looks of it, this will continue on with the PS3. GET OVER IT.

Yeah, too bad it sold 80 million units.

I would tend to think this applies to models still under warranty, no matter what their revision. The biggest problem the first genration PS2's had is that they allowed a large amount of air (read: dust) into the area around the laser lense. Later reveisions corrected this.

Actually, I was, because you can't play SegaCD or Sega 32X games on the Genesis by itself. Their production and marketing didn't go Genesis - Saturn, it isn't that simple or that clean.

Google it, man, you'll find the numbers on countless of sites.

Are you that dense that you couldn't figure out what I meant? Of course they kept selling them, they were add-ons to the Genesis. The SegaCD well recieved? It sold what, 2.5 million units, which is about what the Turbografx 16 sold. And what about the Sega 32X, the biggest joke in gaming history. Even worse than the Atari Jaguar. That was the beginning of the end for Sega. They never recovered.

Oh, good grief. I'm posting logical, rational evaluations and you're making wise-ass remarks to defend numbers that you can't even properly cite sources for. I don't have to. Do a google search, you'll find the numbers on plenty of websites.

LOL, they are making a movie? Will these fools never learn?

This is interesting... from the original Gameboy to the Gameboy DS, Nintendo has sold nearly 200 million units.

Actually, if I recall correctly, they didn't go Genesis to Saturn. They went Genesis - Sega CD - Sega 32X. I think it was at this point that Sega basically became the laughign stock of the gaming industry, and it was the beginning of the end. While the SNES was still enjoying strong sales, Sega wasn't selling anything (though they were trying to).

You're right, its a conspiracy against Sega and MS. The truth is, every product released by Nintendo and Sony were included in the numbers. In truth, only about 4 people in the US owned a SNES, and the PS2 was never actually released.

Um, I have a Lite-on and a Sony, and I will soon be purchasing a Plextor Dual Layer DVD burner. There isn't anything generic about my PC.

I had two Maxtor drives (same model, same revision) go within a week of eachother this spring. I quickly went to Seagate.

I'm good with you, Big H. I'll leave the father and son stuff you you and A1.

My PC has about 2 grand in hardware in it, and I tweak it and clean it on a regular basis. Should I dump it in favor of an Xbox?

I don't know if the boards were up yet at that point. You are talking 1998.

Man, they''ve really run the Eclipse into the ground. Atleast it looks better than the last generation.

Now that I think of it, my launch PS2's controller did die on me while playing Ace Combat IV last Fall. Had to buy a new one when GTA:SA came out. The system itself is fine, though, and I've given it a cleaning like DA has.

AMD Athlon 64 3700+ "San Diego" owner here. I do most of my gaming on PC these days, but I really don't do much gaming anymore. Only when a big title comes out that really grabs me. I have had MGS3 and Xenosaga II waiting to be played on my PS2, and I haven't gotten into them yet. Personally, I am waiting for Elderscrolls IV, Civ IV, and Fable: TLC. Final Fantasy XII is the only game I have my sights set on for the PS2. My best friend is going to be picking up Romance of the Three Kingdoms X soon, and we'll be into that for a while.

I don't hate him or anything. I just love how he puts so much effort in these responses to posts I put so little effort into. He's your son, not mine. He digs the Nanashi comedy, and I can dig that.

The blind leading the blind...

It was an homage to the giant space worm in ESB... Actually, its a reference to the craptastic "Deep Blue Sea".
