In my opinion, people have blown the size of the X Box totally out of proportion. I was hardly surprised by the size, and I stand by my creed that size does not matter. The thing isn't huge, it's bigger than all the consoles though, I do agree there. I don't give a flying fun if it's bigger than the other consoles, as it's how well it plays that matters to me.

Exactly you bloody cheap skate ;-))

Just kidding. ;-) We'll have to think of a new set up for your room when I get over there next. ;-)) Thats the only problem with shoe box size rooms ! My room is bigger nowadays but the double bed I decided to go for just leaves me with sod all space again.

Trying to figure out a new set up for a new widescreen tv and a good PC. Gotta try and work it out so that there aren't tons of wires to break your neck tripping over when you get through the door. ;-))
