It's pretty frooty looking, unless of course you get the silver edition like my lil' sis.<br /><br />I personally like nintendo having grown up with an NES and N64. They're surprisingly tough. Both consoles have endured numerous jolts and drops with never a problem. The only problem I had with the N64 was playing Harvest Moon64 for 36 hours. The memory "jumper" pak melted on me. So I went to get an expanded memory pak for Perfect Dark.<br /><br />The gamecubes pretty resilient as well. There's a movie on the net where some guy chucked on off a 1 story building and it still worked.<br /><br />However if I were to buy a console today I'd probly stick with the Xbox since it has a good library of games. Maybe I'll wait a year or two and get a 360 when the game selection broadens up a bit. Especially Halo 3 which will be out in late '07 I believe. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Malnurtured Snay</b> <br /><small>Member # 411</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2006,7,19,23,51,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">August 19, 2006</span> <span class="timeformat-0">11:51 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> I just bought a PS2. <br /><br />Yeah. <br /><br />I'm hip. <br /><br />(I've got Lego Star Wars and Risk to play on it.) <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Da_bang80</b> <br /><small>Member # 528</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2006,7,21,0,16,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">August 21, 2006</span> <span class="timeformat-0">12:16 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Ha!

But I feel that BF1 is still better than Battlefront 2, even with the space battles and Jedi heroes. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
