So over the past few weeks I've been shouting to all and sundry on here (including the Nintendo guys who live here) that the Xbox is the best console ever, and maybe it is, but ....well I played Project Gotham yesterday - the first time I've ever played any Xbox game, before I'd only watched people. It looks ace, it plays well, but it started a sinking feeling in me. First thought ? "I've already sold my Playstation 2 and games...." Second ? "Is this worth £300 plus all the other cash I've saved?"
Now before playing on it the first wouldnt have worried me, the second wouldnt have either. Then it got worse. I played the FFX demo this morning, and the sinking feeling got worse. Then, just to make things even worse I played the MGS2 demo (yes Im the one person who'd never played it yet). Then, the final nail, read a few things at work.
Tomorrow I'm going down to Dixons and cancelling - which should be fun in intself - and then I'm going into the bank, getting all that cash, and buying another Playstation 2, it may not be as pretty graphically, but it has staying power and FFX. Halo sold me the Xbox, but FFX and MGS2 have convinced me enough to return to Sony. I've wasted a lot of money - but at least I get to start again with all new games ! I still think Xbox is a great console, with killer launch games, and Buffy :((I'll never get it now waahhh!) but I have this bad feeling.........
