I was thinking of starting up a union with some mature people (not fanboys) to discuss games across a number of platforms. I decided that I wanted to do this after I saw what happened to the Assassins creed forums after it was confirmed for Xbox 360 release. Fanboys from both sides destroyed the forums because of their immature bickering over which version would be better etc.

This I know is not the only place that this happens and I wanted to know if anyone would like to join a union for gamers who would be interested in mature discussion about a number of issues regarding games (and perhaps with other non related threads) as well as news about all the systems.

Basically a community of mature gamers prepared to accept the simple idea of someone preffering something different  to them. I didn't want to start it without support so please leave a comment if you would be interested in joining such a union (I will start it once I have around 20).


Thankyou

I'm a big fan of the xbox 360 and not only do I own one but I probably won't be getting any other consoles. I'm also very happy with my 360. However their is one thing that bothers me personally, the dvd player.

Now I hate for this to actually be a problem, but, we are seeing a lot of games nowadays like Oblivion which are filling dvd's yet are not utilizing all of the 360's graphical power. Now I hear a lot of people saying that the game designers will be able to compress games more and more efficiently as they work more with the console and I realize the wisdom in microsofts choice not to choose which format to back just yet (although 100% of indications are towards the HD-DVD). However how far will these game designers be able to go with compressing data on these DVD's and could this mean that we will have either great graphics OR loads of content and not both due to these space limitations. I hope not, and I hope if this is the case that games are made to be on 2 DVD's perhaps with one installing some info onto the hard drive (I would rather this than a reduction in content or graphics). I don't really know the technical aspect but I was hoping someone could tell me the facts on this issue.

I've been reading around a lot about the different next gen systems and it seems to me that there's a lot of hatred going around, people actually fall into insulting each other because of which console they back. Can't people just get the console they personally prefer? Is it really that hard for people to just get the console with the games they like without critisizing someone else's choice?

I mean yeah it's ok to argue about why you preffer the one you do and I'm not talking about that, i'm talking about the so-called fanboys who tear at each other for liking different consoles. I've seen people post on Halo forums, things like "HalO suXors hA HA LoLLLL" why?

I prefer the 360 as I like Xbox Live, the games being released and the power the system offers at a price I personally find reasonable. I dislike the PS3 as I don't take interest in any of the games so far bieng announced for it, the price and the online is untested, as for the Wii I'm not interested in the games their either and the power is a let down where I personally preffer a more powerful machine.

I know lots of people can express their views like that but it just gets at me that some people insult each other over the consoles they own or plan on buying...
