in escense the x-box is a cracking idea, a pc/console hybrid at half the price. only trouble is they've missed the boat a little here. sure the x-box will have some good games with amazing graphics but they're up against a tried and tested console that every games playing nut or wannabe own or are sat at home twiddling their thumbs waiting for. the fact is the ps2 can be sold by one game, gran tourismo 3 and that cant be said for many new consoles since the old days of nintendo/mario and sega/sonic. the fact the ps2 also has gta3 is enough to persuade any man, woman or child to part with £200, i know thats what did it for me, and let it be known it only took twenty minutes before my mind was racing to the bank drawing the money out and ordering one. at best i think x-box's will be bought by gamesplayers who already own a ps2 and want the best of both worlds or people with more money than......me! anyway, i want my ps2 now!!! i personally will be leaving the x-box alone for a while, at least till the price comes down to 200 notes!
I know what you mean £200 or lifetime of entertainment. Playstation 2 ~ROCKS~ and no one can say otherwise the games look amazing and if anyone not to have it the are TOO OLD or BABIES because every household I know as a Playstation 2 ~ROCK ON~

Not at all. EVERY console except for the PS2 is based on PC architecture... and this is a good thing because it makes developing games on them easier to do (Although you lose some power).
The Dreamcast had Windows OS, off the shelf components and a modem... I's hardly call it a PC/console hybrid now!

Errrr... so when Sony released the Playstation (1), and it was pitted against the tried and tested Sega and Ninty brands that came off well....

Well, if you really like that game, get the console to go... but personally, I can't wait for Halo, DOA3 and a whole host of other games on the Xbox... and the gameplay and graphics on them are more than enough to get gamers raising an eyebrow.
