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?

I'll be happy along as the X-box has a Ctrl, Alt and Delete buttons 'cos I'd need them.... P.s Gamecube rules...

Oh yeah - Australia - heavenly place for gaming :D
We also have import tarrifs from USA, to try and stop people buying things over there instead of over here! Most of teh time if you take away the VAT, UK customers are still paying more (was a TV program on it the other day). Australia great place to import games from, cheaper (sometimes), they are the same format as us, and they get them released before us. It can be hard to find places that will import from there though!
Oh and about eating my word for the X-Box stat's. There is more to a console than spec's! Prime example PS & N64!! The N64 had better spec's but did it do so well, No!

Well, if that's true, then there is no point.
They'll only have, like 2 or 3 exclusive games - all will be predictably $|-|!T€
Xbox - waste of money. (Except for Halo, which looks good)

I think it's worth the money, you don't have to pay for it + the price will drop in a few months after it's release.
it's the games i'm worried about, they say they won't increase, but I have my suspicions....
