War Department--June 4, 2001

diffeys@alltel.net - Well currently the GameCube is tied for second, and i thought of something that i could make happen. When you think of games, you might think-memory card-i have to get another memery card! the PS2 has an 8 mb, you might think this is enough, but you are wrong. Currently i have used up 2 memory cards and currently on my third one. Nintendo has a great idea, come out with bigger cards right after launch! These new cards are going to be 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128 mbs! In case you were wondering the 8 mb card is about the same price as the PS2 and the prices keep going up. To give you an idea of how revolutionary these cards really are, they are the size of a penny! Very small! [Ed: The real question though is how much those high-capacity memory cards will cost. Right now they're still very expensive, but hopefully they will come down in price by November 5th.] <-_-> (2 Points)(+1 GCN)

game732@hotmail.com - Ps2 RuLeS dOoD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PORKEMON IS sTuPid!!!! [Ed: Uhhh, yeah…]

spyderman401@yahoo.com - E3 brought us many things. Especially from Nintendo and their GameCube. Which is what I'd like to address in this email.

Nintendo took great care in E3 to impress the masses so as to silence all of the critics of the systems, mostly using games. Games such as Super Smash Bros.: Melee, Luigi's Mansion, and Eternal Darkness. These games were the games everyone was talking about at E3. Was anybody talking about Halo for X-box and it's choppy framrate? No. How about PS2 and-and nothing at all? Did Sony show anything to exicte anyone at E3? I doubt it. Nintendo on the other hand, got Nintendo fans and regular people researching which system to buy excited about their console.

Nintendo semed to think they were on fire, so what did they do? They continued to please the masses by announcing GCN's price would be under $200 dollars. X-box on the other hand, well, let's just say it's in the 400 dollar range [Ed: Actually, it's $300] for now. Twice as much as Gamecube from a company to afraid to show their own screenshots? Hmm......... (2 Points)(+1 GCN)

jagg0110@prodigy.net.mx - ok redy, in the last E3 the most incredible released was the GCN the mew nintendo console will be the ruler of the war!!!!! (1 Point)

lothar.kaess@verizon.net - Hello, i have seen this war, and as it is known, X-box sucks and Gamecube rules, WHY! their are millions of reasons, let me tell you how X-Box sucks,

1:X-box has no good games, they are just a bunch of consolized pc games.
2:X-box is as large as a Dolby Surround Reciever, and that's huge! but at leas Gamecube is small, light and almost portable.
3: X-box is too expensive; gamecube offers what people want with no added cost!
4: Gamecube as a slightly better performance than X-box
5:Nintendo has more console/videogame marketing experience than Microsoft.
6:Nintendo has mascots (Mario, DonkeyKong, Pokemon, Zelda, ect.) that X-box (and others) will never have.
7:When was the last time an american console been succesful...None! [Ed: Atari, though it has been a long while.] ...and besides most consoles who's companies are new at it fail!
8: X-box controller rip off of Dreamcast controller; Gamecube is complimented for it's comfortable controller design. [Ed: Xbox's controller is a ripoff of Microsoft's Sidewinder.]
EXTRAS: Everyone hates Bill Gates. ( as if he doesn't have enough money all ready). What does teh "X" in X-box mean? personally I call it X-stinct cardboard box or X-terestrial box full of S%$#... I WILL ALWAYS HATE X-BOX. Gamecube is beats X-box in all nine reasons... Nintendo will rule again! (2 Points)(-1 Xbox)(+1 GCN)
