Well then why are we arguing about it if we both agree on it, at one point or another XD.
Lol, well like I said, you go ahead and 'dig deeper' because this is the only account I have on here. The only second account I make on sites is if I own the site, and it's a test name . And (as far as I know) Windwaker does the same, but he sometimes makes a few tests =P. Oh, and we also have different ISP's, neither of which we would both be able to get, because where I live I can only get one really, and that's the one I have.
Finally; you agree with our points and have broadened you opinions.
A Proxy Server allows you to hide your true IP address; with simple software available freely on the internet.
Where a high level of security of required, a proxy Web server may be used to provide a gateway between a local area network and the Internet. The local network is protected by firewall software installed on the proxy server. This software enables the proxy server to keep the two worlds separate. All outward HTTP requests from the local network pass through the proxy server and similarly all information retrieved comes back in via the proxy server and is then passed back to the client.
Well, I believe that all consoles have good points and bad points. All consoles will do some things very well, and other things crap.
The Xbox 360, for example, supports games that have very good graphics and gameplay. I don't really know whether it does anything crap actually (I'm sure some techie people at Microsoft know). The Gamecube has the world's worst design (I think that it looks repulsive), but I'm sure that the gameplay is pretty good - lots of people like it, after all.
At the end of the day, we all have to accept other people's points of view. I'm sure that 800fsbang is biased towards the XBox - but that is because it is the best console for him, as an individual. It's like buying a car - it's a personal preference. Everyone wants a different car, based on how the car fits into the person's lifestyle and what it offers. There is no point slagging-off the XBox, because it is the best console for Mark - likewise, the PS2/3 is the best console for CarnageX.
I personally do not have any real preference when it comes to games consoles - so I am not in any way biased. I can certainly see how different each console is, but the fact that I don't need one means that I don't see any as being better for me. It's always down to personal opinion and preference - just like the actual games themselves. I don't slag people off just because they play different games to me! I don't insult people who drive cars that I would not even dream of owning!
There aren't any good consoles, or bad consoles - there are simply consoles which are suited to certain users, and consoles which are not suited to certain users.
I think all that's already been said really; I hate the Gamecubes Design; yes, see the Gamecube topic for that.
800fsbang (Mark) has stressed countless times that the PS3 isn't even out yet so we can't judge it.
And I have said right from the start of the debates whet you have just said now; which is that people choose a console for what they want from the Console, for their needs, and for their liking. The Consoles and Games are all aimed at different target audiences, people with different cultures and different ages. The Nintendo Consoles are aimed at a niche (Actually it isn't exactly niche as there are a lot of people in to Nintendo) audience, and very different people play the 360 (Cool People *uhem* sorry) and people like CarnigeX Play the PS3.
One more example, the East/West cultures are very different (Sony and Nintendo are very popular) This is probably because they are Japanese, and they know what their audience wants, how they think and their lifestyles. Microsoft's keynote speech at the Tokyo Game Show did really bad, and thats because they didnt approach the people in the right way; When Robert J. Bach, senior Vice President for the Home and Entertainment Division and chief Xbox officer at Microsoft gave his speech, he would have had the opposite effect in the Western Countries.
My personal preference? Well, for my own reasons, I'm an Xbox person, but I can see why people like the PS2 and will probably get the PS3, and I can definatly see the people who will get the Wii, maybe the Wii will attract a larger audience that the GameCube did, or maybe it will dissapoint, both the PS3 and the Wii when they are released will do well, like any console from the "Big 3". I don't insult people who drive cars that I would not even dream of owning, no, of course not, and I dont think many people do that with Games Consoles; what does happen, is if you have a 360, people "slag you off" vecause their jealous, just like if you owned a Ferarri
Yeah. I don't know what else to say about consoles. But I do know what to say about owning a Ferrari (alas, I digress, yet again) - beat this!:
Porsche 962 Dauer LeMans (1994 - )
This car from the 90s can beat the latest Ferrari (Enzo) on acceleration by miles:
Enzo Ferrari: 0-100kph (0-60mph) in 3.30 seconds
Porsche 962: 0-100kph (0-60mph) in 2.6 seconds
The fact that Sam likes his Ferrari and I like the Porsche proves my point (which is also Sam's point) that everyone has their preference. In this case, obviously, my preference is alot better than Sam's ...hahahah jk
When did I say I liked the Ferarri? I didn't.
My Preference is this
The Zero to 62 mph (100 km/h): 2.4 s German Built Car (Not Italian)...
So the Porsche 962 is the PS3, with 90s technology, and this Bugatti Veron, which deserves every bit of bandwidth in the Xbox 360 Section.
And in this case, my preference is best.
The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is the most powerful, and fastest street-legal production car in the world, with a proven top speed of over 400 km/h (407km/h or 253mph).
