I believe that the X-Box isn't that bad, but isn't worth the hard earned money it costs, and, on the downside, if you own a PC, then all the X-Box really is is an add-on to play extra games!! Plus, it lacks the up-to-date tachnology of having the internet, which i thought all developers wold have caught up on when the world found out that the famous Playstation 2 would not include the feature. Please post you opinions on this, as i wold be glad to hear if you all agree!!!

Check the Xbox site - it also has memory cards.

The point is though, it is actually worth the money because the various components would cost a damn-site more than £300 bought seperately.

Whether or not the quality of the games justifies a £300 price, we're yet to know.

Seeing as the PS2 was £300 though, I think it's wise to say that for those who can afford the machine it'll be well worth the money.

Easily worth it.

Especially since the PS2 was £300 at launch with no extra's.

THe X-box has an Hard-drive and modem allready inside. Not to mention a Geoforce 3 technology.

Probably worth more than £300.

How can we say whether or not it's worth the price? None of us can have had the chance to have played it properly yet, and I won't be making such a judgement until i've had a good chance to play the Xbox.

Maybe, at £300, I might consider getting one if they're that good.
