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!

Yeah, but I'm not much on arcadey racers. I've got Burnout for that, anyway - but it's rarely played.

There's no way I'd sell my PS2 as there's far more coming out on it that I want to play than there is on Xbox. I don't mind having both, but there's no way I'll be parting with my PS2 any time soon.

Hmm... let's think about that for a moment...

Nope! :-)

Does Xbox come with a SCART lead?

GT3 and PGR are completely different games.

GT3 is a simulation, for a start. PGR is more arcadey.

You could do what I'm doing - sell your PS2 and buy an XBox...

Or, buy an XBox tomorrow, complete Halo in a week or so, then sell it to me, on the cheap, like.

I spent £10 on amega drive just to play streets of rage.
Waht you wan to do is find an x-box one could play. Play as many different games as you can and see if you like them. As you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover.
