I know this post will thoroughly put the cat among the pigeons, but what the hell!

I don't understand how anybody in their right mind can consider getting an Xbox instead of a Playstation 2. Okay, if you're particularly well off and you've already got a Playstation 2, by all means treat yourself to an Xbox as well.

As far as the Xbox is concerned, the only Xbox only game i've played which I thought was good was Halo, which i'll admit IS breath-taking. But most other games are nothing special at all.

Plus, you've got to admit, the Xbox is on a downward slope and is picking up speed fast!

But why get a Playstation 2 instead? There are many great games, etc... but i'll sum it up in 5 little words:

GRAND.... THEFT.... AUTO..... VICE..... CITY!

I see your point. After all, MGS2, FFX, PES2 were all pathetic games not even worth mentioning were they???

What to buy for Christmas? My suggestion - gamecube + Mario Sunshine.

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
Wonderful...
... and so easy-to-use even for a technophobe like me. I had my website up in a couple of hours. Thank you.
