The more I see about the Xbox, screenshots of rally games,Unreal Championship, Halo, Metal Gear X, the more I want one of these things.
Ok, go on "But Microrubbish/Bill Gates" and the usual cries about that evil company (that you ALL use anyway, so go install Linux or hush, you dirty sanchez)
But for me, at the end of the day, it comes down to one thing and one thing only: Games.
"Xbox is £300, rip-off!!" Blah blah blah, most consoles cost that at launch. Grixy stuck up info about Gamecube being £349 so let's not go there (and yes I know it was a catalogue price but I'm right anyway).
I don't care if it costs £300, I can afford that.
I don't care if America gets it cheaper, that's life, UK is high-priced rip-off country for everything (except beer, we're allowed to get mashed cheaply and not notice everything else).
Nope, the Xbox has the mad games and I want them.
I'm not interested in Gamecube, because I'm not retarded (although many would argue otherwise, but to you I say "meh").
Halo will own any other FPS out there, full-stop. Don't start waving Perfect Dark at me,because if all you can do is promote an old game, you've lost already.
Strange thing is, it doesn't seem to be Sonyphiles screaming about the Xbox, more the Nintendo camp.
Maybe that's because the N64 was a joke?
£249 at release, with rubbish games apart from Mario64 which I did enjoy, I'll admit.
But c'mon, Goldeneye and Zelda do not a console make.
"Bill Gates is evil". Maybe, but if I'm getting a quality console at a price I can afford with games that look amazing?
Lucifer himself could come up and wave his biforcated tail at me and I'd hand over my money and get new console.
I don't care, it's all about the games baby, nothing else.
I had an N64, and it stank.
I had a PSX and it rocks.
I have a PC and it's fantastic.
I have a PS2 and finally it's starting to show what it can do.
By all means attack a console with no history or prior incarnations, just make sure your own machine can withstand jokes or comments, otherwise you'll look purdy foolish when Halo smash Luigi's Mansion wiv space-shooter

LETS GET ONE THING CLEAR

There are no decent games coming out for it and microsoft do not know what they are doing in the console market!
If you want to get a decent console get a Gamecube!
Nintendo have been in the console market longer than any other company and they know what they are doing.
At least with a Gamecube you can get it home without it getting stuck in the car door!!
The x-box has a muffed up controller that only giants would find comfortable, the main buttons are less than 5mm apart and the prongs are twice the size of the N64's. It is a recipe for one thing: a CR@P controller!!!!!
As for the PS2, this console is ok because the controller is not bad and they have some great games like MGS2 and GTA3.
My final point is that if you absolutely have to have a console (i mean by all rights the PC is good enough), get a goddamn GAMECUBE!!!

I agree with Goatboy, the X-Box appeals to me more than the GameCube.
But I can't afford either of them, so there we go.

Pretty good if you like that kind of thing.
