"Thinking of getting an Xbox, Again"

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?

Yes. That's what I have done for LIVE games released earlier over there like Full Spectrum Warrior etc.

Check the Bungie.net Halo 2 FAQ

?

All the websites still say 9/11/04 for Halo 2 though...

Hrmm.

Muh? I thought it'd be a Zelda-esque universal release, simply because people would kill to get it. And the Yanks on Live would find glitches, camping spots and other lame ass stuff, and kick butt.

Can I put my existing UK Live account on my Yank Xbox as well as my UK one?

If so, I might just have to get the Yank version...

It's due out in America on November 9th. Apparently not released here until mid to late December.

Yay!
Add me when you get an Xbox.
When are you getting one??

In that case, we won't get it on November 9th then. All games are released on a Friday in the UK. So we'll probably get it on the 12th - or hopefully the 5th :)

Oh great.

It comes out on a Tuesday.

Whats up with that?

Why not a Friday.

I've gotta put up with school all week AND play Halo 2, I cant see it working.

'Tis certainly a good time to get one, and come 2005, get a Cube. :-)
