And X-Box's aren't that much - remember PS2 at launch - and that's without the hard drive etc.

Sega Saturn was £400 if I remember right ! Neo Geo, another massive price tag at around £300 - £400 !
I really don't see why so many people are using this £300 price tag as ammo to be hostile towards the X-Box. Just cause PS2 has come down in price recently and the Gamecube is going to be £150, its not as though £300 is new to anyone.
I bet if the Gamecube was £300 people would be screaming how much of a bargain it is with Sony reducing their price cause their crapping their pants over the arrival of the new Ninty machine.
I wonder if this screaming over the £300 price will carry on when the PS3 arrives with no doubt this price attached to it.

£300, to be honest, is an absolute bargain when you consider what hardware you are getting, and how genuinely *good* the games are. Actually, it's not that the games are good (they are!), but more the fact that developers can easily get quality graphics and sound out of it in a shorter space of time.
Anything that can make a developers life easier is naturally going to get more support, and more support = more sales = more support....you get the picture.
Also, WHY do people moan about the cost of hardware? If £300 is a lot of money, then so is £200. Especially when you consider the price of the games, yet we all go and buy them by the bucketload without a single complaint.
And it's good to see a tagline GpotterUK!!

Thanks!! I struggled to think of one, so I hope this hits the mark!!

I love games like Red Alert 2 and Age of Empires 2.
There were quite a few on PS1 but everything seems to have gotten pretty quiet lately with RTS games on consoles.
AOE2 came out on PS2, but it was a pretty crap version of it.
The X-Box network capabilities should make for some good multiplayers. ;-)
