Is there anyone out there going to spend £300+ On the X-Box and it's game's on launch?
Is there anyone excited about it?
It seems that the build up for release is heating up.

I will be getting an XBOX but only for Halo. I may not get one at launch 'cos there are not many english based games. Who wants two Nascar titles anyway?????
RESPECT EUROPE and PAL!!!!

I WAS going to get one until someone gave me a PS2, so now my Dreamcast is gathering dust and I feel no need to spend £299 on an XBox next March.

I feel that spending £299 on around 7-10 PS2 games in the meantime will more than make up for the dissappointment though.

Oddworld thingy isn't that good anyway, apparently. All mouth and no trousers, just like the rest of the series.

You Sony owners miss nothing.

I will get one, but not at launch.

Perhaps this time next year, or whenever the first price drop occurs anyway.

My PS2 and DC are doing me nicely in the meantime...

Just to warn you about the X-Box... Be pepared for alot of expensive updates, they always do it. On everything! Theres gonna be stuff like, X-Box 0.5, X-Box Ultimate Expansion, X-Box 2003, X-box XP!!!!
They do it on games, consoles, software... And sooner or later it just gets annoying and you feel conned...

I@m not wasting my money on a X-Box... PS2, G-Cube will do fine for me. Anyway, with a DC, GBD, G-Cube, PS2, PC, GBC, MegaDrive , amiga and the adding the meaty X-Box I wont have enough room in my room!

Xbox - created by Microsoft

Feedback: When was the last time you saw anything cheap by Microsoft. Yep, a very long time!

Now Xbox! fair enough Playstation2 came at £300, but we already knew of Playstation's capabilities so some were willing to invest. However, in this case Xbox is a debut to games so how can we trust them to deliver what we want! Exactly, we can't! This is mainly the reason why most of us despise Microsoft. Their products are too expensive!

My advice to them is to follow Nintendo's footsteps and reduce their price to £199 'cos basically we're all sick of seeing these damn ridiculous prices!

Ive been reading about the Gamecube in NOM and that looks like it is going to be a good console. X-Box looks good as well from the pictures Ive seen of it. I dont like the looks of the PS2 though. I will see which console sells best when they all come out and probably get that one!
