"xbox games not for sale"

Right im asking a question that i think i allready know the answer too why is the xbox not doing as good as it sould be i think i know why but if its not tell me.

1st. xbox games are not for sale in woolworths and whsmiths any were and there not for sale in asda , sainsbury's or others and i think thats whyxbox aint doing as good as it sould be and as a owner of a xbox it makes me really mad plus i have a ps2 and it might make me get a ps2 game instead , i want to know is it just where i live or not.

2nd. People who say its no good are saying it becouse there not used to microsoft doing game consoles, but they sould give it ago becouse i can honestly say its just as good as any ps2 or gc, even better than my ps2 becouse it scratches my games and i know im not the only one . But my xbox does'nt ,i've even played on it from 9.00 am to 3.am the following morning , even my gran parents say its better and they dont like game systems, anyway i think that says something dont you, so on that note i say give the xbox ago.

Nah, I would have felt the same. TO be honest though, games nowadays rarely come in sealed packaging - I did remember Pikmin was packaged, but with all the PS2 games I've come across, they're always stuck in the manual, held together by a rubber band. In fact, the DVD always has marks (not scratches, mind) on it. And that's why I don't buy from WHSmith.

Hey, we used to have to do that where I used to work, also Woolworths, but I left because the job was about as much fun as this forum...... we used to get loads of people ask for Xbox games. We also used to leave the GC games on the shelves behind the till at night, even when we were broken into/ramraided e.t.c. all the PS2 games went but not the GC, and one lot rammed a landrover discovery through fire doors so they had the space.....

BTW The only reason PS2 is number one at woolworths is because thats all the idiots support........

Whats all this Asda stuff. Has no one thoguht of the largest supermarket store, Tesco. My local Tesco have only just started selling Gamecube games, they have a good selection of PS2 games and zero X-Box games. They also stock around 4 PC Games.

If I was going to be mean I could say that Halo would be on the PC by then (probably), Deus Ex 2 would be on the PC AND PS2, Shenmue has been on the Dreamcast for ages and KOTOR would be on the PC too.

But I won't.

I can also add a few to that list that are out now too..

Phantom Crash
Quantum Redshift
Serious Sam
NFL Fever 2003
Gun Valkyrie

I won't even list the games that are coming out that you won't be seeing on PS2.

The only place were i see XBOX games for sale is in "GAME", there were 1 or 2 in Asda but they went and never got any more in.
The only other place i know off is a sgop called "Budget" and it sell all console games, but i cant go in there because it really does smell *he has one of them smelly candle things, YUK!!*

well if it was me buying a new GC game I would have refused to buy it I mean not getting at you cos it was an accident but would'nt anyone else refuse to buy that particular disc because it was dropped if you were paying full whack for a new game? or is it just me? i mean correct me if i'm wrong but is'nt it the consumers right when buying a new game to have one free from scratches? or indeed to ask for a sealed copy if they have them, thats what i do when possible in Game because if it's sealed you avoid any situations like that as it can't possibly be scratched.. i'll shut up now. :~/

I've done that a few times when we kept them in draws. Worse still I've hit a cusomer when trying to get a game out of the plastic safer cases we keep them in. The bit wouldn't moved and it came out of my hand and caught the cusomer's hand. She took it quite well all things considered.

Yeah, I actually dropped a PS2 disc when I was getting it out from the drawer. The buyer was not pleased.
