I think I will be tempted but only once the price drops to £199 in time for next Xmas.

Yeah, no doubt at some point. As someone pointed out, the perigree os Microsoft as a console company is unknown. I got stung with a Neo Geo Pocket. However, I can't see X-box going down the tubes very soon. Bill Gates alone has enough money to finance the entire thing for several years even if they didn't sell one unit. I'm sure that MS will just chuck money at it until it's a success. It's probably just their way to get their already sticky fingers into even more pies. They've seen how much moolah Sony has made with the PSX, an Billy Gates wants a piece of the action.

I don;t fancy one at launch, perhaps in a year or so, when they are confirmed stable, have a bit of a userbase, some decent games and a price cut I might consider it, but a new machine that a lot of people will not buy on principle? I'm not chucking £300 away until I know it has a future.

yeah... that pretty much excatly where I'm standing

Nope - I'll (probably) be getting a 'cube, but not at launch.

After that, my next console will probably be PS3 in a few years time, as and when it gets released. But I'm in no rush for it. :-)

Yes I am getting one.
