I will be selling my GC in afew weeks, to make way for a xbox(maybe).

The main reason is Colin Mcrae Rally 04/PGR 2.

The lack of Driving games on the GC is doing my head in.

Im not sure how much i will be getting for my GC, but i will be probley selling it on Ebay.

But the only thing holding me back really is using Xbox Live. I already have NTL BroadBand 150k, but ive looked on the NTL site and its telling me the first year costs would be £389.88. Abit steep aint it?

Also where the best place to buy a Second-Hand Xbox? Ive been into SR Stapleford and quite frankly that shop is going down the pan. Ebay is probley too expensive (?).

Cheers

Touche.

Though the likes of Burnout 2 and Ridge Racer: Final Evolution aren't far off. They'd at least keep you happy while you bask in the delights of fun games as opposed to realistic ones. :-)

Rented PGR last week for five days, it's nowhere near as good as I expected and I still prefer Sega GT2002.

Midtown Madness 3 is boring me though, in fact all the Live games are boring me again.

dunno, they can be frustrating, very satisfying when you chain a load of combination tricks together - and then clip a wall :(

i think the worst type of challenge on that game are the overtake challenges
