Well er...actually it was a controller.

E.........................B Had one set up near the front desk.

They were playing a demo disk.

So I walked over towards the X-Box and rubbed my hands all over the controller.
I enjoyed every last second of it.



The X-Box is massive, bigger than I thought it would be.
I stood for a minuate or so wathcing the demo disk and on it was a clip of Halo.


I stood there with my eyes just about popping out of my sockets.
I've never seen anything so lifelike on a games console in my whole life.

The X-Box is enough to brighten up anybody's life.

The Xbox's controller is excellent. Big and heavy. A real man's controller.
And it also has the shoulder triggers - like the Dreamcast - essential for drivin' games. Essential.

I AM mostly judging on reviews though. Amped is rubbish though, really not my type of thing. And I really, really can't work out why they kept the design of the controller so damn shoddy. The buttons are like bloody mobile phone buttons... no satisfaction from pressing them.

When's Halo coming out on PC? And yes, it is.

I've only seen demo's running so can't comment on the games yet, last time I wandered around Cambridge I didn't see any pods in stores, but as I'm on the bus today (have Bomberman Tournament to keep me company) I'll have a quick glance in a few stores.

I reckon the fate of the Xbox relies on it's second wave of games.

People will buy anything at launch, but can soon lose confidence, especially with a first timer.

X-Box doesn't suck. It's just the controller is crap, the games are all rubbish, bar Halo, and it's trying to be more than it's capable of, and failing badly.

But you said it did.

I asked you if it sucked you it, and you said "Yeah like a magnet"

SO it does suck! ;-p

So it's official then.

Conformation of Xbox's magnetic powers prove that it does indeed suck!
