x999x you prefer your PSP to your DS, im the same just with DS and xbox.

Sadly, you don't know what you're missing regarding emulation. Seriously.

What games may I ask are too unpolished for your liking? Most games are not only out on the xbox, but ps2 and gc. Exclusive titles for each system are a rarity these days, and are the only games that can be adequately judged on merit alone in correlation to the xbox's capability and position as a console.

Panzer Dragoon Zwei, Fable, Ninja Gaiden, Starcraft: Ghost, and Conker's Live and Reloaded are just a few of the exclusive titles that are not only noteworthy on graphics alone, but hold their own as substantial and worthy gaming experiences all the same as a Nintendo title. The only difference is we as xbox users are privy to a new line of faces and franchises to take a "risk" on, rather than the tried and true Ninty franchises you can already expect will be good. I don't know about you, I love nintendo, but I don't like playing the same game for 20 years thats essentially just had a facelift and a few new gimmicks thrown in, and when I do feel like playing those games, I'd rather pop in the original I had more fun playing so many years ago conveniently on my xbox.

You may be too young to appreciate emulation, and I don't hold it against you, however being born into the 2bit era of gaming as myself, there's a lot of nostalgia there, as I'm sure you'll come to appreciate the same of your generation when you're my age.

Starcraft: Ghost isn't an exclusive xbox game is it? I thought it was coming to GC. I wrote it down on my "wanted games" list.

[x999x]

They're having framerate issues, and that's on the xbox which is insanely more powerful than the GC, hence the delay. ANyway, the game is an exclusive title, in that it's coming to xbox first, a la GTA for the PS2.

With so many technical hurdles, I'd be amazed if the GC version is out relatively soon afterwards as it was intended, I believe by the quarter following the xbox's release.

plus it was announced for all systems a VERY long time ago, and since then blizzard's gone through about 3 different developers here and had to scrap the entire game once, it may be different.

p.s. woohoo post #1717

[x999x]

Blizzard is a developer and publisher, so I'm not quite sure where these 3 other developers have come from, perhaps you mean project leads, in which case this is very plausible for this industry.

The game itself as of now is having framerate issues in my last talks with ppl in the know...
