im confused....

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Let me pose you a question ff, would a product that's already been on the market for 12+ months be classified as a next generation or current generation product?

im confused..why do you people buy these things

Post Thu May 13, 2004 2:17 am

Yes you have been missing a lot. There is talk for ages already about the Xbox 2, Playstation 3, new upcoming consoles such as the Phantom and new handhelds such as the Nintendo DS (successor to the Game Boy Advance) and the Playstation Portable (PSP).

Here are a few sites for you:

PS3 Insider
The Unofficial Xbox 2 weblog
PSP Insider
Nintendo DS

@ff, did you ever see the PS2 commercials when it first came out? They advertised PS9 with all sorts of beyond imagination features, then they said, for now there is PS2. Then some sort of slogan referring to the future of gaming.

ff, you clutz

if you saw a footie match and then were told about the NEXT footie match, dont be suprised that there might be a NEXT after that too.

Likewise, when we were on the PS1, the Dreamcast and N64, the NEXT generation of consoles were the PS2, the GameCube and the XBox, now they're the current ones, the NEXT generation is the PSP, the Xbox2 and the GBDS.

For the record, phantom's gonna bomb.

The term next generation is talking about the next volley of technology, not a label for a particular set.

I'm confused, is this about Star Trek?

(Arcon, do you by any chance hang out on Frost-Works? I recognise the sig)

Bah! Consoles are fine for young'uns, but the PC is still supreme. I wonder if the XBOX2 really will have a large amount of flash memory, or will stick with an HDD.

Nickless - I know YOU hang out around Frostworks. I'm on to you .

i was off gaming systems when my snes blew up waste of money a comp does a heck of a lot more than any play station or nintendo

I hate to admit it, but console games are better than PC versios in some games. Final Fantasy 7 and 8 were easyer to play on the consols. But other than that, Pc versions are better. Like FL you can mod it. but I have never heard of moding ANY console game.

I like my Xbox Not everyone wants to pay $2000+ to run Halo and other demanding games when they can jsut pay 149 and get a system that can run them.

Mess with the best get screwed like the rest.
