X-Box, why does everyone dislike it? Most people anyway.
Before it was even released, it had nicknames worse than the fat kid at school. It was already being called “Fat-Box” “Doorstop” and I hear sniggers when the joke is popped,
“I’d buy an X-Box, but I can’t afford the room extension”
Har har har. So funny.
Ok, so it’s a big machine, but there’s lots of goodies inside it, like the wonderful 733 Mhz Intel Processor. Intel are proven to make good CPU’s. Then you have the 300Mhz X-Chip. Which controls all the graphic malarky. This chip was made in conjunction with nVidia who make solid graphics cards.
The X-Box also supports DVD, ok you have to spend Ł30 on a remote but its really worth it. It’s a superb DVD. Plays the DVD’s better than my separate DVD player that I have in my lounge.
First for a console, the X-Box has a hard drive, 8 gig in fact. Its so clever that you can transfer your music onto it, then listen to it during the game. Clever? I think so!
People may class it as a smaller PC. Nah, your wrong mate. X-Box will play games. Yet it has added functions. Like a PC. But you won’t find anybody doing their homework in Word on it will you now? Making databases in Excel? No no sir. A games console it is.
Anyway, why would you want to do your homework anyway? When you have such good games as Project Gotham Racing? Halo? Unreal Championship? Timesplitters 2 and now that X-Box has RARE (!!) working for them as well, you’d be a fool to diss it.
The controller is another joke object.
“Well, I have an X-Box with my room extension, but I now need bigger hands for the silly controller!”
Obviously. It’s a bit on the large side. But hey, it’s the most comfortable pad I’ve used for ages.
All the great pc games will be lifted off onto a super-sexy X-Box disc. Now with prices dropping worse than Italian football players you’d be a total ape if you didn’t have one of these machines sitting in your house, doing your laundry for you, making your coffee and tea. Its that good.
Some may think it’s a waste of time with X-Box2 coming up, but you can be sure as the screen that your looking at that the X-Box2 will be able to play X-Box games. Its almost written in stone, so you may as well start early and build up your collection of amazing X-Box games before they all sell out!
The X-Box also supports 5.1 sound. So get yourself a 5.1 speaker system, get out the drill that you got given last Christmas and drill the satellite speakers into the corners, put the mahoosive Sub in front of you, and let the other speaker roam around your room like it just doesn’t care.
Then carefully place the game into your X-Box, trying not to get blinded by the gold lights coming from it (Its made out of Gold. Duh.) and enjoy the amazing sound experience.
Actually. Rather not. Get a GameCube instead because X-Box sucks.
X-Box is pants. Hahaha :o)

By the time Hal and Splinter Cell come out they'll be old Xbox games, and the prices lowered to reflect that. So you'll be paying about the same, for games Xbox owners have had a while. Cool.
