I don't think the size of the X-Box is a bad thing. In some ways its nice to take home something big. Shows that you've spent a lot of money rather than showing your parents you just spent £300 on a console the size of a birdseye fishfinger box. ;-))

Unlike other consoles, the X-Box apparently doesn't over heat which can be a problem with the more compact consoles. Plus as long as you can fit it in a good place, who cares about the size ? Don't know too many people that are going to be jogging with a console strapped to their hip, listening to CD's.

I was surprised the x-box was so big. I thought with the consoles the smaller the better.

It's like that clockwork radio that man with two wives who lives on an island invented. It was made with a really big, heavy case so that it felt like it had some worth. The insides, however, were tiny and would have fitted in a matchbox sized case. True story.

I can end this debate very quickly. Take the worlds first computer that could add up at about the same speed as your average Little Chef waitress. It took up several rooms, not unlike the afore mentioned waitress. Anyway, our lovely friends in the Godzilla infested land of Japan made everything nice and small for us Like PlayStation and Game Boy Advance.

The Xbox is huge cos the Americans made it!! And they have an obsession with being the biggest and the best!

End of story

I don't think the size of the console matters, if I had the money i'd buy one, just a problem finding some space for it, I don't tend to look at the console too much, wish consoles had a remote control to switch them on, it's annoying, iv'e got extension cables but the consoles too fr away! sheesh.
