So the Xbox will have GTA3, State of Emergency and Metal Gear Solid?

No need to hang onto my PS2 then, Xbox for me.
And if I hadn't read those stories here, I'd still be trying to convince myself my PS2 mattered anymore.

Who wants a 2nd hand PS2, two controllers and about 15 games (including GTA3, MGS2, State of Emergency)??
Go on, it's nice.

And I think I want an Xbox because I like what it offers.
I think if I wanted someone to tell me that I was wrong, I would ask for opinions.
I didn't.

Now, what does that suggest?
This is what I was talking about in another thread.

Nobody here is in computer retailing at a level that they are involved with console marketing or anything like that.
Opinions offered about "Why the Xbox is rubbish" are coming from ill-informed, biased kids.
When Bill Gates or Sony explain to me why I shouldn't get a console, then I'll listen.
Until then, play your video games and argue about why school sucks.
I want an Xbox.
That's my business and nobody else's, so keep your "don't do it" thoughts firmly where they belong.
Just as I don't ask to be beleaguered on MSN by morons that talk about "would she fancy me? I don't know"...

Screw this for a way to pass the time of day
I'm out of here.

You cant even use a normal Dial-up with the X-box can you? Its only suited for Broadband. Sony have said they will let you use any ISP with the PS2.

Which is reason enough

I think it would be a waste of money and space. Microsoft are already planning to release an antivirus kit for the harddrive because virus's have already been made that really mess it up.

Waste 40 quid on a harddrive. Extra 30 quid to get the DVD working. Not allowed your own dialup. Games that you can buy on the PS2. I think you should wait for a couple more months.

Erm.. so you are getting The Xbox because it has games which you already have!?

HA.

MGS2.. you have completed and much alike me, not much point after that.

State of Emergency... rather a crap game.


GTA3.. exactly the same.

What is the point?
