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

Kirby's Air Ride is a racing game eh ? A fun game eh ? Ooookay, just looks like a crap game to be honest, and the reviews I've seen support that...

How far did you get though? It gets better the further in the game you get.

I like the cone challenges although they are way too hard.

Overtake challenges rock!

Played a few races, I can tell if I like a game within about half an hour. I'm no big racing fan, but GT2002 did interest me, PGR doesn't and I certainly won't bother with the sequel.

It looks like something original - unlike the generic crap you're always getting in the charts. The reviews I've seen justify it as a good game. Don't be so narrow-minded; broaden your horizons.

The first 2 chapters or so of PGR were a bit slow until you got a few of the better cars. By the time you get to the Skyline it starts to get really good. Really should have given it a decent shot first.
