Thats right, if i get a job, I will buy one of Microsoft's Love Boxes.

However, what games should I buy?

Only game that comes to me to buy is Halo...

Sugestions please... :D

Exclusives to go for are Halo and Morrowind, and I'd heartily recommend Jedi Knight 2 and Burnout 2 as fantastic multiformat titles. In my opinion, that would be it really - I'd wait until some more must haves arrive, such as Knights of the Old Republic and Deus Ex 2.

You could pick up a controller or two extra if you've got more money, but seeing as you'll probably be short after buying the console, you might as well take the minimalist approach and go only for the essentials.

Burnout 2: Point of Impact
Halo: Combat Evolved
Jet Set Radio Future
Midnight Club 2
Moto GP: Ultimate Racing Technology 2
Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Tides of War
Unreal Championship

These are all excellent, and you should be alright for months with only 2 or 3 of these... and if you're planning on getting Live then Unreal and Wolfenstein are necessities.

How does the X-Box version of MC2 compare to the PS2 version in terms of graphics?

I have MC2 for the PS2 but the graphics are utterly crud, jaggies all over the place. So I'm considering trading in my PS2 copy for an X-Box copy, but only if it's gonna be worth it, taking into consideration I didn't pay anything for the PS2 version. (GAD)

Not sure at all about the PS2 version as I have never played it. The Xox version sports some "above average" textures but its nothing to shout about.

Check some reviews for comparisons although I know IGN said it was greatly improved over the PS2 version.

Why get the PS2 version over the Xbox one?
