Today i ventured into Nottingham to get a few bits and bobs, mainly just a multi-plug hub so i could connect more devices in my room.
Anyway, I decided to go into the usual High street Gaming shops just to see what games are out/priced. So I went into Gamestation, and too my astonishment the Xbox stand was crowded with people, mainly browsing the games and the brand new "Sega Xbox Pack" i saw 4 people buying the Xbox and many people purchasing games. One bloke asked me if I had one, we got talking and i recommended getting The Xbox Pack, Halo and an extra controller, he is now a proud owner of the big black machine we all love.
I felt pleased that alot of intrest is being put into the console. So i went into Game, And MORE people were crowded around the Xbox area, buying games and Xbox's and various other items.
Microsoft must of done something right by doing that deal with Sega, Its excellent value and if I did'nt have an Xbox, i'd go out and buy one!
I picked up a few Xbox leaflets from the counter and asked the bloke about pre-ordering Splinter Cell. I decided to buy a Reward Card whilst I was at it, So now I have a nice copy of Splinter Cell put to the side for me AND i'll get Double reward points for it.
I think people are starting to trust the console and expressing more intrest in it.
Xbox - Rock on
