My Bday Is Comin Up In 2 Days...

MulletMullet Join Date: 2003-04-28 Member: 15910Members, Constellation
What should I ask for my bday? My parents and family members keep asking me what I want and all I say is "I don't know or I don't care". My mom just asked me again and I asked her what the budget was for a gift.

She said she didn't know, but said she'd get me a new gaming console if I wanted. So I'm guessing the limit would be AT THE MOST $200.

The only things that I can think of that I'd want would be:
1.) Playstation 2
2.) Gamecube
3.) New Video card? (i have radeon 9200)

Out of personal experience, is PS2 better than GC? I really have no idea what I want..... <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Hmm...My bday is this upcoming July 2nd. =X

    I really have no clue what I want and it seems like it will be nothing. Don't care though, I don't deserve anything. Woop e do, i stayed alive for another year. Big deal lol.

    If I am to get a gift, it will probably be from my Dj friends and that would be more vinyl. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    One of my buds who is a dj as well has the same bday as mine and he owns a club so he's having an early bday party tonight at his club. Got him 2 house vinyls. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Sorry it took so long to reply, but yes I do have an XBOX. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I asked for a PS2, so hopefully I will get one! I had a PS (one), and I still have like 40 games for it. Will those run on the PS2? Thanks everyone <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    mission complete!

    that said, PS2 for the MGS3.

    it would be nice if they had a simulatenous release for XBOX, as opposed to the year, year and a half Substance crap like with MGS2...

    because the XBOX runs it SOOOO much better than the PS2. the controller treats the MGS2 engine.. just.. better!

    my fuel for the growing console flame war...

    though gamecube > all for multiplayer/party games...

    xbox just has halo, and so does the computer <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I actually admit I just make fun of the xbox because I don't have one, so I don't really know how good it is =P halo DOES pwn though, prolly was the most fun I'll ever have in a single player FPS (knock on wood for HL2)...

    Any multiplatform game will look best on the Xbox. It may control better on Gamecube (e.g. Beyond Good & Evil), but it will look best on Xbox - and worst on PS2, since it's a cheap, dated, POS hackjob of a console.

    The only reason to get a PS2 is if you like any of their exclusive franchises - Ratchet & Clank, Jaxx, Final Fantasy...

    The only reasons I had for getting a PS2 were FF and DDR -- and now there's a DDR for Xbox (Ultramix) and a FF for Gamecube (Crystal Chronicles - not a traditional FF, I know, but it still rocks). So I'm pretty content without a PS2.

    ultramix is also online...

    but since u already have an xbox, u better have xbox live or half the reason to get xbox is gone
