No, it won`t be as lond as the FOG version.
Why am I trying it out anyway?
The XBOX forum is a very interesting place to be, but it can also be a little quiet. I though perhaps if we had a topic with several hundred replies lurking at the top, things would look more popular.
Feel free to use the topic to talk about anything. Either the latest XBOX game, latest ideas for including some female star in a game etc... or even just the usual chat that happens all over.
As I expect this to fail, I`ve decided to spend a little while pushing up the replies. No spamming, just lots of nonsense :-)
Any help would be great, it`d be boring to have a whole topic with replies from only me.
If not and in view of the blatant lack of any kind of "upgrade" it seems we are being left out in the cold a bit, Xbox is an excellent machine that i feel a good deal of loyalty to over other consoles but i'm suspiciously concerned that Microsoft is not so impelled by such rosy thoughts of us faithful end users staying on board with them as much as it is taking more of our cash.

Like with any console sequel, you purchase the next one up when it arrives.

If Microsoft did do that, they might just get a step up in the next gen battle but i could see it being a very costly business. Plus the fact we dont even know if the console is going to be able to play Xbox games. I realy do hope it has bakward compatiabilty as it wont be like the PS1, we will be able to buy quality games at low low prices for the Xbox which are still of good quality.

Obviously but they could do a sort of part exchange wher eyou bring in your XBox and give em 50 quid they give you a new one? But if its priced at £300 will probably be nearer bring £200. But if they did somethign on those lines that you get money off? Wonder if they will give the games and controller when they reduce the XBox 2 for the first time or was that just a one off?
No.
It's just a fact, you pay for the next machine up, regardless of what existing console you had.
Off subject: Anyone got Midtown Madness 3? I've just won an auction for this game, looks good.

Yeh Sony?! They havent done anything like offer two games and a controller for there first price drop. Plus they wouldnt need to they have a large enough fan base to release it at what ever price and they would still shift consoles.

Unless you have live, it's not worth having. The single player is just incredibly poor and infuriating. Multiplayer on live is good with friends though.
