I knew this would happen,
People will stop dissing the XBox and realise that it is a good console and size doesnt mater.
Before it came out there was a lot of negative hype, killing it before it was born. But now as it's out people have realised how good the console is.
A few weeks ago these forums were full to the brim with comments like:
'It'll never fit in my room'

'It's too heavy to move'

'The XBox was designed to fit in only Bill Gates' House and nobdy else's'

However now it's nice to see people now have realised their wrongs and are coming out with reviews like YH and Wookie. It's nice to see some REAL reviews coming out now.

Thanks.

Damn. Halo would have made a great online multiplayer game on the PC where it belongs. Why is microsoft being so greedy? Rather than making some origanal games of their own they seem to nick titles from other systems.

Halo was originally a PC release, but then the xBox found it didn't have many decent launch titles, so they nicked it from pc development and made it an xBox-only title, rotters!!

PC Gamer were singing it's praises at first, but they have now admitted defeat, in fact Kieron Gillen wrote a whole Devils Advocate column on why we won't be getting Halo on the PC.

There were the XBox eXperiences that were on around the UK and there were the Pods around the shops....

I know what you mean, although I never put the XBox down at all.

I was going to get one at launch, but the PS2 price drop came along last autumn, and GT3 looked sooooo nice that I had to get one.

I wished I'd waited for XBox now.

But no matter, I have the mighty X now, and it rocks.

Not being funny but nobody OWNED an XBox before last Thursday so how did you expect any REAL reviews or comments before then?
