I don't think that I'm the only person that is adamant that the Xbox will probably be the biggest flop ever in the history of console gaming. The have got no really exciteable games, as most are either PC conversions, on other consoles as well, or made by some unknown foreign developer, whos greatest title is Ultra pinball chess or similar. Anyone who is looking forward to the Xbox must be shot. Does anyone disagree?

But I heard that the Xbox is turning into a mini-PC, with a Hard drive, disk drive, Internet browser, Dvd drive etc, all available to buy seperately. If someone wanted that, wouldn't they buy a PC? Us folks in the gaming community like to guy GAMES consoles for gaming, rather than multimedia devices. The Xbox will be sort of like WAP phones, we won't buy something we don't want, and that is why WAP is unsuccessful. The Xbox will be exactly the same (unless fools like you buy it)

Intrigued by the topic title, I did a little digging....


A console to truely look forward to, I though, one capable of shape shifting, and existance!

But as it happens it's not true!

The Xbox is made with the same old stuff as many consoles that go before it, and doesn't alter shape in any way what so ever. it's a real shame, because if the Xbox could shrivel to an acceptable size, I'm sure it would be a more successful console.

Also, as the console is made of man-made parts, it cannot die, as it has never lived.

I'm surprised that nobody caught onto this sooner. Don't believe everything you read....
