"Right Then ..."

So now I've had the idea ... and we just got broadband ... I know it's never going to go away ....

Until I buy an XB, of course.

So:
Explain everything.

I seriously have no clue about anything XB-related (well, apart from the big, obvious stuff) so need info about everything ... console, games, all the Live info (I do want that ... although I kind of don't at the same time, as I feel my spare time running away from me)

Anywho ... yus.
Hit me.

*cowers*

2020's a long time to wait.

Can't be bothered now.

Ah well.
I bought Ace Combat 5 instead. Which is worth a million of everything.

Xbox Live aint all that.

If you don't like shooting games or realistic racers then you'd probably be better off waiting for Nintendo to sort out their online network.

FFF, if you're looking for a console that's all syle and not much soul, you've got the idea with an Xbox. Not saying it's rubbish, because it has some truly great games.

Just don't expect it to be a total revelation.

Alright then.

That's the thing ... I'm actually not usually very good against real people. And then ... very rarely ... I just totally pwn all. For about 5 minutes.
