Well erm, Hello again.

Remember me? The Xbox fanboy who sold his Xbox for a PC, "gamezfreak", the guy who had continous arguements with Tiltawhirl/Maverick42/Dringo about how "gay the gaycube" is, then went out and bought one?

Well after living without the console for about 7 months, I'm getting withdrawal symptoms, the Xbox was one beastly piece of kit, and I want it back. I'm bored of the PC gaming world, I'm actually running a linux system at the moment, so I generally don't play PC games anymore.

So this is where the Xbox comes in, to give me something to play games on.

PC = Linux, Programming, Movie editing, Website editing etc
Xbox for gaming.

Being so long away from the console, I am really unsure as to "what is what" nowadays, what games are "in" at the moment?

Has Halo 2 come out yet?

Give me some reccomendations and stuff, yeah, I want some inspiration and motivation to go out and purchase the machine.

Can the Xbox play VCD's by any chance?

Meh.

I've ordered it from SR, I dont think GAME or Gameplay take the money straight away which is what I want them to do.

Theres still time to cancel my order anyways.

Something im worried about is that if SR dont deliver it to me on time I might have to wait til the following Monday.

Noooooooo!!!!!!!!!

I would change to Gameplay now but I need an extra £5.

You should order from Gameplay or Game. They normally get it to you the day before release.

If Halo 2 releases on the same day in both the UK and US, I've got 5 of practise before they wake up.

Sweet.

I hope Halo 2 meets our expectations you know.

I can imagine it being rubbish

But it looks so good..

Halo 2 will be out in November, mainly because this is classed as the best time for companies to release games and make insane amounts of cash, Nov is the month that companies aim for leading up to xmas.
