X-box is Microsoft’s first attempt at breaking into the console world, when it comes out in the US on November 8th it will retail at $299. This means that it will probably cost £299 when its finally released in Europe on the 15th March next year. One thing is certain, when it comes out it will be the worlds most powerful home console/entertainment system, but will it be any good?

What do you think of the X-box…? are you impressed by the specs, do you think the X-box will be worth getting just for WWF Raw is War or do you think that Microsoft have made a mistake that they will come to regret. Whatever your opinion, express it here :-)

I've got a GBA and i may well get an XBox. I'm undecided at the moment.

"Not a single person in the shop said they preferred the GC to the x-box." ????

I assume you mean

"Not a single person in the shop said they preferred the X-box to the GameCube."


You, have to bear in mind though that people who have just bought a GameBoyAdvance are obviously fond of Nintendo. Perhaps one of the reasons that nobody seems excited about the X-box is that it isnt comming out in the UK till March next year. Closer to the date, people may be more positive about the X-box.

The x-box hasn't really impressed many people. I walked into a Gamestation shop to get my EDGE magazine (who are also not impressed by the x-box). The staff were talking to each other and to people in line waiting to get a GBA about how bad the x-box will be. Not a single person in the shop said they preferred the GC to the x-box.

I think their reputation as being globalising pigs has already killed their chances of success.
