thats right at this moment i am thinking. :D

I remember a while back, exactly twelve months ago that i had a Playstation 1 and a Nintendo 64.

I looked into most magazines and loved the XBOX and thought it was a million times better then PS2 but then i saw the release date, it was nearly a year away and i wasn't going to wait until then to get a next generational console.

I was left a ring by someone (wont go through the whole story) but then i decided to keep it but take some money out of an account that i will have when i am 18 and then sell the ring and put the money back in the account, so with that money i bought a PS2.

SO the XBOX is out now and i am left wondering whether to get one now that they are finally out, we are havong an extension on our house which will have a games room in so my mum said that she will pay for most of which ever console i want because then it can go in a *games room* we will be having.

I have seen the XBOX and played on it in ASDA and i think it is pretty cool but i am going to wait until it is at least £250 - £199 until i get one even with my mum paying most of it.

I like the look of Jet Set Radio and that is the game that really changed my mind about whether to buy one or not, but now i have seen the GameCube i aint sure which to get so its up to you to help change my mind :D

When games cost £40/£45 I can't understand why people want to wait 6 months or so just to save £50. It's totally pointless!! OK, so you buy it now and get one less game overall in the 6 months that you have it. No big deal unless you were only ever planning on getting one game in 6 months.

Apart from that, I would definitely get one. I've had a PS2 since launch and have a lot of good games for it (inc. MGS2). But, now I have the XBox, my PS2 won't get a look in for a long time now!

Do yourself a favour and get one now - you won't regret it!

Xbox is great. JSRF should be brilliant, hopefully have my copy on monday.

KR have a look at all the games coming to the Xbox and the ones out know and see if they interest you. Halo has got to be one of the best games ever, PGR another great racing game, DOA3 great fighting game, Amped good snowboarding game thats different to Tricky. Rallisport a good rally game. Many other great games in the future, and out now.

Xbox is very good, if you like maybe 3 or 4 games that are out now buy one now. They are so good and £300 is a good price. Waiting till they go down £50 to £100 would be like delaying christmas for another 6 months.
