That's not funny... But then again, neither is your mum. But then, people do laugh at her when she walks down the street ;) "2. Good graphics chip. Stupids like pretty pictures/6. Programmable Graphics Unit. Because to stupid people, graphics is all that matters." Yes, so you went out to bone your PS2 to play a new version of tetris, not Metal Gear Poo? "12. 4 Controller ports. No decent 4 player games" Nope. None at all.... It's a shame... I'll drown my sorrow's with a game of Halo. Man half of what you've said are all the same. There's about 20 individual statements there, the rest are others rephrased. But my point is, I am sure that none of us care about the fact that some poor ass little PS2 owner thinks an Xbox owner is stupid, when they are clearly jelaous. How about you just go back to your little house, and your big mum, and have a quick blaze on metal gear solid, yeah? I'll stick to Halo thank you very much.
