Well in either August or when ever the Year 11 exam results arrive.

Well I am expecting to get 600 quid, but 200 of that is for college crap and stuff. I am going to defiantly get Halo, Xbox, 2 controllers and a memory card thingy.

I've been looking at these forums for about a year and half so I've seen how the Xbox has gained more momentum in the gaming world and how good it is.

Anyway considering the date and the prices may be slighly lower, can you recommend me a few games I could get.

P.s. I've also got a Ps2 so Ill want bout 2 games for that.

No as the XBox has the Network adaptor built in, and with a PS2 you need to buy it. Using Broadband for XBox Live and for the PS2 will be alot more complicated than just getting Broadband and sticking in a Cable. If you have Cable then it may be alot easier than if you went for ADSL. With ADSL you need to use a Router or use ICS both of which Require a PC. You better look into XBox Live and PS2 online as you dont want to get Broadband installed a relise you have no way of hooking up the XBox or PS2 up to the connection.

No i am not a girl, i just used the word thingy becuse I could not remember the word I was looking for, I shall now re-write the sentence.

Well its the truth most of the time, but if I do somehow make her get
broadband, would I be able to use the Xbox broadband adapter with the playstation 2 broadband adapter.

If you read the previous messages Goblin, you would of noticed I have stated that I have a ps2 on multiple occassions.

Your little brother sounds amazing ;D.

With your Xbox, it'd be sensible to pick up The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic (providing you stick to the plan and get it in August). Both fantastic, in-depth RPGs.

You'll also want to look at Halo, Moto GP 2 and maybe Fable, providing it doesn't get delayed again. There's no need for a memory card, but pick up a Controller S as it's a nice alternative and good for multiplayer.

Yes, 50 quid for a B/C and 100 quid for a A, which i'm unlikely to get.

200 for I.C.T
200 for Science
100 for English
100 for maths
25 for D+T
25 for French

Its actually 650 if all goes to plan. There is a 1% differnce from a C to a B in my Science. So i only need 41% for 4 B's.
