"Convince me to buy an Xbox"

I have £150 - £160 and I'm thinking about buying an Xbox.

I want co-op games and LIVE games. Convince me!

I'm not trying to start an argument here (I'm sure we're all sick of console wars, especially regarding power) - just correcting Mr The Cat here that there's really very little between the Xbox and GameCube in terms of graphical capabilities.

Considering Halo 2, while it looks very nice, it just isn't as good as Resident Evil 4. Though the destructable scenery is rather impressive.

Resi 4 is the most spectacular game i've seen in recent history.

Undoubtedly quality, but not all that incredible.

Actually, they appear to be the best console graphics yet.

Halo 2's graphics aren't that special at all.

It really does...

You've just got to look at Halo 2 to proove that. :-)

You can have mine.

I only just remembered I had it.

Don't forget, this is second generation Cube, that will be first generation PS3 with no doubt modified features. The game looks f**king sweet as but first generation and second generation titles on a system are a completely different ball game. Take Halo and Halo 2 as an example.

And I read in PSM2 that they would like Resi 4 as a launch title for PS3. So I doubt the PS3 will be as powerful as we all think/hope.

It really doesn't...

You've just got to look at Resident Evil 4 to prove that.
