"Thinking of getting an Xbox...."

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

It depends. I like Goldeneye more than Quake. And Halo, but that's a side point.

I see what your saying, but i would rather pay to drive a Car, then drive a Cloud.

Get SEGA GT 2002. I'm stuck in two minds whether or not it's better than GT3. I'm not sure it is, but it could be. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. There are so many good things. If you have hotmail, please add me. I want to talk with you urgently! [email protected]

Get Formula One 2003. You can drive Jordan on that.

And cone challenges. God damn whoever the twunt was that designed those wretched cone challenges.

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

HA!

Just cause you suck at them Tilt :P

Tip - Use the handbrake

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.

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. :-)

I have Burnout 1 and 2 on GC :D

a tad on the easy side though.
