"March Mayhem"

March 2002 will go down in history, Xbox gets it's UK release, Gamecube aswell ?, we have MGS2 and .....
Is MGS2's delay tactical to steal some of Microsoft's/Nintendo's thunder or am I just paranoid ?

Actually with all the mayhem in march it could be quite good. I get my X-Box and so may one of my mates. I have a TV in the computer room, as well as my 28" in my room. No need to move tv's, setup my mates X-Box in the computer room, while mine is in my bedroom. Get a link cable and play 2 player Halo.

I think in March the last thing on people's minds will be how historic the month has been. We'll all be too busy playing the various consoles/games arriving.

I'm trying to set up a weekend at my house of drinking/eating and SEVERE games-playing. It's gonna be a good year for those with the money to spend on the gems of the year.

so a Gamecube is £199 and you are going to pay and extra £71 for a game?

I might buy a gamecube if they take a hefty market share I doubt it though

Yeah - The best month ever for video game lovers and I will be in bloody Cyprus!!! Still I will have a lot to look forward to for when I come back - MGS2 being the main priority, possibly GC aswell!!

Hey and if all that wasn't enough, March 27th sees the return of Tower of Power to british shores!

They're playing at LA2 in London, go there on the 27th.


It'll be grand!

No, you're wrong.

You can buy a British made car in Holland AND pay to have it taxed, insured and SHIPPED TO THE UK and STILL save over five grand.

Or so Watchdog said a while ago.

:-)

And we better see those Euro prices with a proper Pound conversion!

I dont see why not, but look at car prices in Europe compared to ours. Where the situation is you can buy a BRITISH made car cheaper in somewhere like Holland...

UK is still rip off capital of the world in many respects.

GC looks like it will be released this Feb. Also GC may only be about £160. In an article I read it said it was 250 Euros which works out to be £155. The games were 60 Euros and that came to about £37.

I have pre-ordered the X-Box so cant wait for that. 6 days eariler i'll have MGS2 so March will be a very busy month for me.

I have seen a few Gamecube demo's and not been that impressed - I own a SNES, Gameboy & N64 and have until last year been a loyal Ninty.
Xbox interests me though, but I will probably have to wait until nearer Xmas when hopefully the price will have come down.
