I havn't been on these forums in a while and it seams newbies have taken over, but that's no bad thing.

Anyway, who is getting an xbox?

I hope many of you are, because in my view it looks like it will be the greatest of all the next gen machines.

I've started saving already, and got over £200 so far. Not bad seeing as i've got another 3 months to get the rest. I can't wait to play Halo and Project Gotham racing. If I've got the cash I might also get either Munch, DOA3 or Amped, I havn't made my mind up.

Tell me what you are getting please, and if you have already pre-ordered.

Its also a launch title in Japan. I think we will get Jet Set Radio at launch, as SR mentioned about it a month or so ago, and other magazines and websites have it down for a launch release.

Actually I dont really mind if it isnt a launch title as If I do get the 4 games then having Jet Set Radio coming out a month after the launch would be good.

Yeah, Jet Set Radio Future is out on February 14th in the States. I hope it makes the launch too...

Can't see why it wouldn't, but the whole UK/US thing makes me a tiny bit sceptical.

It should be out by launch. The US release is 5/6th March. I hope it is a launch title aswell as Jet Set Radio Future.

I may have to give Buffy a rent perhaps if and when it becomes available in my local Blockbuster.

I will second that. Buffy does look good, I saw a clip of it and looks really good to play. Ok it may not be a ground breaking title like Halo. But Iam a big fan of Buffy so I would buy the game even if it gets average marks.

Also Wreckless looks like a pretty good game. Amped looks good, my mate is getting that and Halo.

Good call!! I didn't actually think Jet Set Radio Future was a launch title, some have said it is, some have said it isn't, everywhere I look though, except here at SR, everyone has it on their release schedule.

Ah well, no loss if doesn't come out, I'll have Halo and Dead or Alive 3.

Such a shame eh? ;)

Good one Adrian! I looked at Buffy too, whilst I love the show (along with Angel ;) I'm a little sceptical about it at the moment.

Haven't pre-ordered yet though, since the missus works in Woolies and they've not had the bar-code or something in yet for a pre-order, but I have to say, in the words of Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons:

"Best Launch Ever!"

Xbox is great, but everyone's goign to have a hard time choosing between launch titles.

As long as you have Halo, Jet set radio future and wreckless you will be very happy, with DOA3 and others in reserve.
