Guest Colin Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Because you can link them together for multi-player/multi-console games A lot of games allow multi-console, like Halo & Halo 2 can have 4 consoles, 16 players In the UK we had 4 Xboxes, all permanently networked :) See, the Xbox is for people who have friends :D Or like to pretend to have friends anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Slim Jim Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 See' date=' the Xbox is for people who have friends :D[/quote'] That's why I don't have one :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MrFill Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 When I was still in the UK, we had regular Thursday night Halo-fests 10+ people all coming round to eat pizza, drink, and play several hours of Halo - damn good fun Why would I want to spend several hundred pounds/dollars to pretend that I had friends, if I wanted to pretend then I'd just save my money :P The other reason to have several Xboxes now is that my wife and I can go on Xbox Live at the same time, but not take up TV space If there's one thing that M$ did right with the Xbox is making Live so good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRM 220 Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 When I was still in the UK' date=' we had regular Thursday night Halo-fests[/quote'] Keeping the tradition going MrFill sir. I'll have to go with Nintendo, The Super Mario Bros game on the gameboy kept me entetained for ages. Blades of steel on the NES is probably the best ice hockey game ever. And the Snes made my childhood a a happy one So i'm voting Nintendo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MrFill Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 And besides gentlemen I believe I hold the record for most PS2s owned at 4! That's because they're build so cheaply that they break really easily :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rog Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 That's because they're build so cheaply that they break really easily :P Exactly :thumbsup Do you know how much fun it is to fork out money, for something that lasts about a year. The first one yes I did drop it once on the floor, the second one I brought on he train every week so that probably didnt help. The third one just started whirring and clicking one day.... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dave7g Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I started with a Rowtron TV Games system which was really just Pong. Then I had a C64 which was the greatest thing I ever had. Since then I've owned all the consoles except the Gamecube which I didn't like. I'm not a hoarder so when I wanted a newer console I sold the old ones. It makes sense to me. Now I have all the old machines and games emulated perfectly on a computer. So now I only have an X-Box, PS2 and a good ole Dreamcast, my phone however is an N-Gage. Ooops I forgot, I voted for NES as Super Mario Brothers is still one of my favourite games of all time, yes still! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
