...It'll be the next Playstation 2...

...It's going to be amazing. It's already all sorted....

When you get one, chuck it in the Thames, and as it sinks, think of it as time speeded up.

One advantage I think Microsoft will have over it's competitors is with regards to peripherals...

As you know, Microsoft make Mouses, Keyboards, Graphics Tablets, and all sort of PC parts...

Now don't give me the old: "But that's for PC!!!" rubbish... they made the X-Box, don't you think they know what Peripherals to use and how to develop them?!

I think that unlike Nintendo, Sega and to an extent Sony, they will be able to back their peripherals well with good games....

I know Nintendo had the VRS but it was backed by two games in Japan and just one in The United States... Sega had the Fishing Rod which was compatible with 2-3 fishing games...

I think that if Microsoft can find a way to link all their peripheral knowledge with their on-line play and the peripherals themselves, they'll be okay.

I don't believe the X-Box is a PC in any way... It is it's own console... Can't think quite why I put that, but anyway...

X-Box peripherals are definitely something to look for... I think that for what Microsoft lack on the 'Innovation' side of things, they'll more than make up with 'Gaming Fun' and the peripherals will play a major part in doing this.

Project Gotham looks amazin; -


Yep! Although it's said to have an extra city, New York, which will give another 50+ tracks. There will also be more cars which will be destructible!

Hopefully the AI and Kudos scoring system will be tidied up, so when someone crashes into you, you don't get a penalty.

No doubt it will also have the standard graphical enhancements as well.

All in all, that could be the game that decides if I get an XBox or a 'Cube.
