"Which 5 games..."

Would I want to have if I bought an XBOX?

Gamecube seems to be gathering dust, and I've been mildly impressed by some of the XBOX game adverts I've seen. Hence am potentially in the market.

Questions though - is it worth it if I own a high-spec PC?
Can I get 'normal' shaped controllers (the ones I've used are chunky, and gay)?
Why does it have memory card slots on the controllers if it has a hard-drive?

Thanks,
IB

The memory cards are just for taking your saved games round to a mates' or whatever.

You could get live as well, then we could rumble.

uhh Riddick...I suppose Halo 2..umm...Splinter Cell 3 when it's out.



Yes you can get normal controllers, and the memory card slots are there so you could still transfer data from one Xbox to another, though hardly any games seem to support memory cards.

Do your games actually need to support memory cards?
As in, couldn't you save the data to the hard-drive and then copy it over to the memory card?
Not that I care.

I think you can just transfer from the hard drive.

Eh?

All games support the memory card. Just plug it into the controller and when you save you can select hardrive or memory card.

That would explain it then, I thought there'd be an option in the game to save it to a memory card.

And I don't have a memory card so it probably never came up.

Nah, there's no point really, with the hardrive.

I have one though (it's a limited edition FIFA World Cup 2002 one, its bloody great), and it did come in handy for saving my PGR2 data to and then going over my friends for a 'drink and Xbox night'.

We completed the game. Yay!
