I liked the look of x-box. But I am massively annoyed at how greedy and stupid Microsoft are....

If the x-box costs £299 in the UK, $299 in the US...
Then it will fail. Europeans have had enough of being screwed - especially be greedy American giants Microsoft. £45 a game - you must be joking. I won't pay more than £35. You could buy 5 second hand quality PS titles for each x-box one... And consumers (everyday people that walk into GAME) will know that by looking at the shelves infront of them.
2 x-box games, and you could BUY a PS1 with a game or 2!!! Imagine what you could do with £300! Buy a PS1 and every classic available!
The x-box is a console being sold at a PC price. It's doomed.
Yes, the Playstation 2 cost that amount at launch, I even bough my original PS for £300 many years ago. The difference is that when they were launched they were the only option in the market that could provide consumers with the games they needed/wanted. Now the PS2 and gamecube (both at £199) will be in the shops alongside it!
NO-ONE WILL BUY THE X-BOX!! They have no idea about the UK market. They are insulting us with this price. Whay does the x-box offer over the other consoles? A couple of exclusive titles and more polygons per second??
They can go shove Abe's Odessey up BG's behind!

Snuggles.

Can you give out info like how many people have pre-ordered and XBox and a GC?

OR are you not allowed to reveal that kind of stuff?

Cheers.

Mr. Snuggly, apart from the fact that obviously you work for the company and if they didn't sell games you'd go under and loose your job, do you get any bonus' for making us buy games or anything like that? I think someone should win GAD and donate it to yourself for taking all of that time to look over them all and give out a 2 free games and 1 DVD everyday, it must be a hard job when around 15 reviews and 2000 posts are going on everyday but someone's gotta do it.

While I don't want to be quoted on SPR's pricing of XBox games (because we don't know what prices we are doing yet), PS2 games are on sale for £45, but are still sold at around £30-£35 by companies like us. What I'm trying to say, is buy all your games for us.

It's your bag, baby!

WHAT!?!?!?! (I notice you didn't attempt to spell her surname, probably a good move there....) :-)

Not really, they are both amazingly fit, but Anna does it for me.
