Ahem, I mean X-Box. Probably get the deal from SR, console + 4 games, then probably stick Enter The Matrix on top of that, and possibly the small controller (since the big one is crap) Not bad for £250, considering I spent £215 on my PS2 and only got one game, an extra controller and a memory card.

Does the X-Box need memory cards? I noticed they're for sale, but doesn't the hard drive cover save spaces? Is it so you can transfer saved games from one console to the other? Some X-Box nerd, help me out.

Its not that heavy. And the controller is NOT as big and horrible as every one says. I dont have big hands but it is comfortable for long long periods of playing. And the black does not look green in any light that I have ever seen it in.

I would say it's not my kind of game rather than its crap.. because infact it's pretty good if you like that kind of game.
Nevermind

It's very heavy too. When I bought mine the big strong carrier bag handles split when I picked it up off the shop counter, and when I'd got home with it after about a mile walk my arms were aching like hell (but it did have the added bonus of giving me big muscles). That's the honest truth, so if you're thinking of buying an Xbox, make sure you have some kind of vehicle to take it home in.

I think it's Splinter Cell. I don't really care, the game is crap. I might sell it.

No hideous green monster for me, just the dark one (I heard in certain lights, the black is actually green) with Halo, Jet Set, SEGA GT and something else. And probably Enter The Matrix and the S-controller.

*strokes beard*

Oh yes.

the green x-box is offensive to the eyes.

do you want your friends to come round and point at it, and laugh in your face?

then they'll go and tell any other friends you have, and overnight your street cred will drop 25%.

can you live with that?
