"Jingle bells, Xbox sells, Games are on their way....."

Hell yeah! You know you liked it.....:P

This time last year, the Xbox was'nt doing too good and certain people were considering it the next Dreamcast. Those sneering buggers can go and bum a constipated male tiger, cause look at the Xbox now.

Not that many really.
Otogi, KOTOR and Broken Sword are highest on my shopping list. Especially Broken Sword - the return of the wise-cracking George Stobbart with his new retro Beckham-style crop.

Look at how many of you want the GTA pack, Thats just from a small online forum. Can you imagine the impact this will have globally on Xbox sales? This is where it will start to slowly tear away from the Cube. Even with Mario Kart, F Zero and Metal Gear I can't see it stopping Microsoft this Christmas. Sad but true...

Oh, and where's the Morrowind update Game of the Year thingamajig whatever it's called. I'll be getting that.

*looks*

That's pretty much 100% of x-box owners/loners here (hehe). So i'm guessing pretty much this will sell in the bucketload (if a bucket exists in that size).

Why don't they spread these games out over the year for Fs sake?

I'll be glued to PGR2 like an insane idiot for ages and not have time to play all the other fantastic ones. + funds are low and i'm gonna have to think hard about the games i'm gonna get. I Hope i get a job I applied for to make things easier.

All summer with sweet FA and now a load of Xbox games, still loads of PS2 games to buy and 3 major killer apps on the Cube. I am skipping the likes of Knights of the Old Republic as I just don't think it will be for me and it will take up too much of my time.

Hold yer horses. If your skint- buy a Live enabled game and get 2 months of Xbox Live for free. The offer starts with Amped 2 I think and its a great way to get people holked on online.

And no-one has mentioned the improvements to LIVe which will be happening this winter either.

What improvements?

Across four months, that really is pretty much FA.
