I've been watching some video clips of Halo, and I really, really, *really* want to get an Xbox to play this game.

But looking through the other titles available, I can't find anything else worth getting. PGR looks okay, but I have GT3. Dead or Alive 3 looks great, but I have DoA2 on my PS2. Munch's Odyssey doesn't interest me.

Even looking through SR's list of future releases, I can see nothing appealing - and those that are appealing are already out on PS2, and I have them.

No doubt someone will say I'm showing signs of bias, but I'm not. I'm tempted to go and buy an Xbox and Halo firsts thing tomorrow morning, but I really can't justify over £300 for just the one game - I desperately want there to be more games to justify the purchase, but I just can't see any!

Help!

Where I live the X Box is £150.
I think it is because nobody has buy any on the release date.But he is not restocking after this because he said that there was no business.

I'll have forgotten about it by August! And

Metroids looking set to take the crown. Anyway, nothing in my opinion has taken it away from Goldeneye.

Why did that women just post her letter in the post box outside my window then check the times. Stupid women.

PGR is absolutely crap.

I have played it quite a few times now, giving it more chances. I think its just the controls. MSR was soo much better.

Oh crud - cheers, YH... just going to look for a proper RGB SCART lead on SR's listings.

If I get the Xbox, I'll need to get a proper SCART lead and the Havoc stand (http://special.reserve.co.uk/listings/extrainfo.php?co=GG9075) to connect the Xbox to my TV.

It's the same as PS2, a composite lead with a SCART adaptor.

Not a proper SCART lead.
