Which is pretty ironic, since you have a staunched detestation of Microsoft. :lol:

Gee, you must go down a storm at parties. ;)

Do I really? That's news to me. It must've been someone else that's installed 3 seperate versions of Microsoft Windows on my
main PC then. That same person must've installed Windows Server 2003 on my secondary PC, and MS Office 2004 on my Mac.

Maybe that person also installed Microsoft VirtualPC, while I had my back turned, on both my PC's and on my Mac as well!

Hey, perhaps that person has also been masquerading as me on MSN Messenger as well!

:roll:

I wouldn't normally post in these types of threads as i share the same opinion as Boughton.
However i must ask...
Why would you want 2 games consoles? Surely 1 is enough.

The mind boggles.

Lots of spare time?

Just a thought.

Now i'm a woman who can multi-task. Not even i could possibly manage to operate 2 consoles at the same time.
I'm getting very confused by this thread. Is it cool to play games consoles at parties? I would be as insulted by someone getting out a playstation as i would someone picking up a book at a party i was hosting.
Am i really that out of touch with the yoof of today?!

Just never bring a true rocket scientist to a party. We had two over to one of our house parties and by the time they'd left we had maxwell's equationswritten on the house whiteboard. (The whiteboard isn't for maths. It's for drawings of cocks mainly)

Of course, "true rocket scientist" excludes me as I know when to stop...

Apart from when posting

You see?

The graphics may be superior on the next gen consoles, but I bet the game play wont be. Personally, for me, you cant beat the old Nintendo and Sega classics.

Oh and the PSP makes a great nes, snes, megadrive etc emulator machine 8)

Revolution has a new style of controler, which will offer new forms of gameplay...

Being a gamer who currently owns 11 (including the PC) I can assure you that consoles vary alot.

Back to the thread, PS3 and Revolution for me. The XBox is just not my thing.
