I once took a friend's broken XBOX system and dismantled it and got out the hard drive (8 GB Western Digital put it in my PC but it wouldn't boot the XBOX OS (modified 2000 Pro) and I couldn't get access to it. I found ou that the firmware was keeping it hidden to the PC but was unsure how to go about disabling this. Any ideas. It was just an EEPROM chip....a simple jolt of juice shoulda done it right?

XBOX wasn't too bad...COmpare it to that Nintendo GameCube POS. Now that is a sh!tty system!
Don;t hate Microsoft becuase they have the money to push it into people's hands.

Don;t hate Microsoft becuase they have the money to push it into people's hands. thing i hate about the Xbox, is that it seems you have to constantly buy an accesory to use a feature of it, i no u have to for the PS2, it jus seems more common u hafta keep buyin new things or an add-on for the Xbox |

One cannot always expect the things in life to come easy...if it did, life would not be worth living. Just think about it.

Was this spawned out of the fact that there is a better console than the Sony PS2? I have played it a fair bit at my friends place, I jus was not impressed with it, either was he, we both found the systme was slightly better than the PS2 with grfx, but that is easily looked passed if you realise most of the games on the Xbox are on the PS2, with minor grfx changes, the Xbox to me has not proven itself to be far superior to the PS2 , an jus to add to it, the Xbox controler I found to be very uncomfortable, but that's a minor |

You think you found it slightly better but actually deep inside you knew that the graphics were far superior. I know it hurts humans when they see something better than what they have. Tis okay though. If the controller waws uncomfortable, you could have used the Controller S which is ideal for those used to the Sony controllers which I find to be awkward as not human hands take that shape...THe XBOX has millions of dollars spent on its design and is actually more comfortable if you have not been poisoned by the Sony controller which conforms to no reality. If you really hated the first controller, why not try the newer controller S. As far as the XBOX being superior, you can do more out of the box with the system..For one, you have a built in memory card, a huge one, as wella s space for your own music to be attached to the games you play. Out of the box you get a NIC card so that you can play online without #rd party hardware and software with awkward CD changing methods...The XBOX is also a much much faster system and if you have come into very close contact with it, you would notice the smart design behind it. |

To me the Xbox has not truely poven itself to be that great at all, loading times, that i will admit are slightly faster, but still there, I'd invest in an Xbox if it really had any games of interest  ;D |

RPGers should actually be sticking to the Nintendo systems...Sony is a mixed breed. XBOX is also a growing mix breed. |

Bah i cannot find one game i can get into on Nintendo's GameCrap, I find the games to be very childish, but I will admit i dound Super Smash Bros fun, if uyou played it with some friends, as for my opinion they ruined Zelda, the super nintendo zelda had to be the best of the series, on the N64 and the Gamecube especially they turned Link into a nerdy band geek, come one, the wind waker, he waves a baton around (or wutever it called) the wind waker link is sucha wuss, o well my opinion, |

I can agree with their being a lack of adult type games of Nintendo failed system. As for the whole Zelda thing, I used to like it but it got to be so repetitive...The gam eidea never changed or became different. The same thing goes for Final Fantasy 10 in whiich the game became a long boring movie with subpar scenes and randomly upsetting turn of events.

I liked to call Final Fantasy X, the "Slightly Interactive Movie" jees I think they woulda had more success making FFX the actual Final Fantasy Movie though |
