"XBox?"

Who here is getting an XBox and why? Although I don't rate it too highly myself, I want to see why other people think it to be worthy of £300 hard earned cash.

I played PGR at a friends. I found it very slow, unresponsive and unoriginal, effectively a GT3 rehash.

Dead or Alive 3,

Yet another game to enter the fighting stable, effectively the same as all the other DOAs and Tekkens and whatevers out there, but with beefed up graphics.

Buffy The Vampire
> Slayer,

Without trying to be too stereotypical, most TV rip offs have not been up to scratch, so I am skeptical about this one. I may be proved wrong though,I make no definite judgements until playing it.

Jet Set Radio Future,

Again, waiting to see on this one. If they add interesting new new features it might be worth a look, but it seems like it may be a bit too similar, albeit with slight better graphics of course

Gun Valkrye,

Don't know about this one.
Project Ego,

I saw the feature in Edge as well, and if it does live up to the praise it was giving itself, it may well be good, but with no evidence you must remain sceptical

New Crazy Taxi

Crazy Taxi is over 2 years old now, so it seems unlikely to me that it will be different to any of the other games.

That's what I think.

Yep Halo of course. Then Project Gotham as I liked MSR on the DC, Dead or Alive 3, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Jet Set Radio Future, Gun Valkrye, Project Ego, New Crazy Taxi thats going to come out.

Sorry.

the controller is incredibly chunky and the only game i would want on it is Halo, so i'll give it a miss, i'd rather get a GC.

Same, hoever I am going to wait until the console have at least 5 games I really know I will like. At the moment there is only 1 Halo. I reckon it is worth waiting for more, and when the price has (hopefully) dropped.

It has the games I want to play on it. I have a PS2 and will get a GC aswell. On all 3 consoles there are exclusive games on each that I want to play. So thats why I am getting an X-Box as there are a good number of games I like.

Thats what Im going to do!! Just until its established itself a bit!!
