Ah-ha!
It has been done.
Well, it will be. I'm selling my PS2 to my mate for £325 (with games and memory card etc), so I can buy an XBox!
Only, he can't afford my PS2 for about 2 months. So I have to wiat until then :-(
However, that gives me enough time to save up £100 so I can buy SR's MICROSOFT XBOX GAMER PACK BUNDLE (XBox, extra pad, PGR, Halo) and a DVD playback kit.
Sorted. Less spending. More saving.
Get in!

You didn't get the SCART lead then?
The picture is so much brighter and clearer. On PGR with the composite lead, I had real trouble with the dawn/dusk races - could hardly see the road! Much better with the SCART lead.
Anyway, I'm off to try Munch's...

That 50Hz/60Hz problem was in M:SR, but I figured it would be sorted for PGR.
I'm using the lead that came with the XBox and I'm managing to use 60Hz fine, weird...

I'm trying to get into the Halo's command centre at the moment - I've got two Hunters to take care of, but I can't find a decent weapon! Assault Rifle doesn't touch them... nor to plasma weapons... I need a sniper rifle!
I'm playing on Normal, though.
Had to re-start PGR - while using the Composite cable that came with the console, I had it on 50Hz mode. Changed to 60Hz now I've got it connected with SCART, and it won't let you load the driver because it's 50Hz. :-(

How far have you got on Halo then Wookiee?
I've done the first 4 levels so far. Only on Easy mode, mind...

It's okay, but not that different to DoA2 on PS2, which I'd played to death - and I found the Xbox controller gave me painful cramps after about 10 minutes, so I changed it for something I did't feel I'd already played.
It is good on multi-player, but my mates aren't really into beat-em-ups, so it would rarely be played.

didn't you like doa3....i think it s a GREAT multiplayer game...knocking your mates off a cliff/building or using a counter against your opponent when both your health bars are really low is SO SATISFYING....be warned -tantrums may be thrown.
i hope oddworld is good (cos i got it but i haven't got my xbox yet cos it's lost in the post) -mind you even if i don't like it i only got it for 24 quid so i'm sure i could sell it for at least a 5 quid profit.
as for wreckless -i've got this too (for 30 quid) so if i don't like this i'm sure i could also sell this for a profit :)
the joys of getting my games cheap!

Thats bang out of order doing that to your poor relatives. I like it. ;-)
When it comes to getting a console, no tactic is too low !

I wasn't gonna get an Xbox until a price drop. But then I saw the Aussie price, and I'm going to Aus tomorrow. Get in there!!! (+ the added bonus of not-seen-for-a-long-time grandparents, which I'm sure will *cough cough* 'help' me on my way to Xbox ownership).
Heh heh.
Heh heh.
Crash is out a week tomorrow.
Apparently it's Destruction Derby - which sounds good to me! Also, Rallisport is supposed to be pretty fantastic. Not too simulation like, which is why I'm interested in it.
There's a few games on my wanted list at the moment, shame I have little free time and even less money :-(

Enjoying it more. Spent a few hours on Halo last night, and it's gettig better the more I get into it.

Though I'm still not keen on the launch games. Halo and PGR are okay... I took back DoA3 today and exchanged it for Munch's Oddyssey.
I couldn't decide between that and Wreckless, so I asked to try both - glad I did, because Wreckless is pants - and I mean your grandads crusty old Y-fronts. It looks amazing, but the gameplay... ick, no thanks. Didn't enjoy it at all.
Roll on more games, that's what I say.
