I think the name for the X-Box should be X-pensive, because of in a magazine artical it said the offical price of teh console is going to be £299 and teh games are going to cost around £45! At this price is it worth it? Most of the games you could play on your PC, and thats all the X-Box is, a cut down PC with no screen! Who is going to buy this, and why?

Er, you can't use it to surf the 'net.
MS want to get away from the image of it being a "PC in a box." You'll be able to play games over the 'net, not surf the 'net.
If the games don't work properly over the 'net it will be because the developers messed up, NOT MS. The hardware is there, the hardware will work. It'll be down to the games developers to make sure it works correctly.
A bunch of shoddy games that have graphics to put an N64 to shame? No
> thanks. I'd rather have astonishing Gamecube games, thanks.
The games are personal opinion, of course. But 1). You can't say the N64 graphics put it to shame, and 2). I thought "Graphics don't matter, it's the gameplay that counts"?

Shouldn't that be:

Maybe it will have an N64 style game drought when it's launced, nothing wrong with the N64 mind, needed more titles around lauch, games were few and far between

Uh huh. The 'internet' that will more than likely crash a couple of times and totally flop like the console itself.

Er...however, Halo looks good - that's about it, though.
Xbox - waste of money.

Excuse me, Ant - I don't think I quite heard you right...Xbox over Gamecube?

LOL!!
Anyway, not too sure about the X-Box yet. I'd prefer it to a GameCube, but at the moment my PS2 is doing just fine.
