Had a quick play of the x-box in EB today after my interview for PC world and...............
it was kinda ok, it had that demo disk in it and i gave gothem racing (spelt badly) which i had a blast on and i thought it was good but nothing to say "wow buy me buy me buy me"
Had some snowboarding game (i forget the name it was early this morning so i wasn't paying attention) but that was ok to but nothing i haven't seen before.
Had a peek at the halo rollin' demo and ohhh it looks nice but nothing i haven't seen before either really.
The control pad is quite confortable but it's so big, i think my little sis would find it hard to reach the buttons.
The other thing i didn't like about the pad was the 6 buttons 4 are bright coloured and 2 otheres which are very small and you have to streech for to reach.
the console itself is huge, it's way to big i would have to build another room for it i reckon :)
Anyway to sum up while it looked nice and the games seemed ok they were just to avergae, they should of tried to get a really nice launch title on board really.
It was ok to play but i don't know if it's really worth the £300 price tag. i think i'll hang on for GC and stick to playing the PS2 while i wait :)
