Wow, Xbox is good. I've had it since 11am and have played Dead Or Alive 3 and Project Gotham so far. The whole system is amazing, easy to use and not really that big.
Games are nice full screen with 60Hz enabled for every game. Dead Or Alive 3 loads up as quick as it takes the light from a light bulb to reach your eye :). It initally loads up story mode in 5 seconds and then there are no loading times through out that story mode.
PGR is amazing, graphics are so smooth and no pop up like GT3 on the PS2 has.
The sound is great, on DOA3 I was suprised at the detail of the sound on the Ice cavern level, as I could hear the flaming torches that were in the cave behind me.
Overall I think Microsoft has hit the spot, any person who has bought an Xbox will love it.
Whats everyone elses view on there new Xbox?

This is THE ultimate games machine. I didn't beleive that HALO could look so good, but with an S-Video cable on a 32" Widescreen TV, this thing ROCKS!!
The games look great, play great. The controller is superb - especially the triggers. The DVD playback is fantastic. The 60Hz mode is a very welcome addition, and I actually do like the look of it!!!
I have a PS2, and I can safely say that this won't be getting much attention now!!

the best £300+ i have ever spent..this baby is one hell of a console!! Ive got halo and doa3..ive just managed to turn it off for 5 mins and im already missing it !!...This beats the PS2 by miles, the graphics and sound are perfect..Ive got it through my Dolby surround and its amazing, i have my own arcade system now..excellent...im very pleased by this purchase......long live the new king of the consoles !!!
Just go round to your mates and play the games. If you really like it sell your PS2. With gaming today, most games are on PS2, GC and Xbox. So if you really want to play Halo, PGR, DOA3, Amped, JSRF e.t.c. get an Xbox.
I haven't played an XBox, but my mate at work has bought one, so I've seen it and handled it etc.
The controller feels so much better than the PS2 pad.
Also, I was going to get an XBox, hand been planning it since last summer, but got bored waiting, made a rash decision and bought a PS2 last October.
Wish I'd waited for the XBox now.
I can't afford to get one unless I sell my PS2, that's the only problem...

Yeah I would. The Xbox does everythink the PS2 does and more. But if you want to play games like MGS2, FFX and GT3 then stay with your PS2. Just have a look to see which games there are for both systems and decide.
I think that the Xbox is much better once you get it home. Basing opinons on the pods isnt right, as its feels so much better when you have it at home.

I know what you mean about the phrases. :-) Have you noticed their different accents too ? Makes you actually feel part of an army representing Earth rather than just constant streams of yank marines.
The stuff they say helps you to feel your part of the squad too. :-)
I find the X-Box pretty quiet too. My old DC was pretty loud at times and the PS2 had its moments as well. The more I play my X-Box, the more I love it. I don't regret handing a penny of that money over last night.
The wait has definatly been worth it. :-)
