Well, I've been drueling over many pictures of the Xbox for months. Since it was released. All the time thinking I would never be able to afford it. Well, I found some crap in my house, and decided to sell it.

In total, I made £173 out of stuff I never use anymore. So, I told my parents I wanted an Xbox, and they send they would loan me the rest of the money.

So I went straight down to my local shop, and bought one. And I don't regret it one bit. I liked the Xbox in the shop pods. And the game expirience is twice as good when I can sit on my sofa, without wondering why the shop assitances are laughing away. And what a nice thing that is.

I could only afford. Not being a fan of halo-type games, I went for Muches oddesy. Only the one game though. (Give me a break! I'm in £152 debt!). Haven't had much of a go on it yet. But I'm sure I'll be glued to the TV tommorow.

Well, I'm just glad I can now join your Xbox community. (Just as long as you lot will except me, as the games lover I am :D )The Xbox really is a great console. I had my doubts, but they have now gone. I am very impressed by this console. And, unfortunately, I can see my PS2 will begin to gather dust.

P.S I do have some questions aswell, y'know!

-Is there really a point in sending that registration card away. The fact it is going to the USA doesn't fill me with confidence that they will bother to send anything back.

-On munches Oddesy, I haven't noticed any rumble yet. I have only played about 5mins of actual game play so far though. Does it come in later, or do I have to enable it? Surely one of you lot has this game.

Thanks in Advance. Oh, and anyone who doesn't like this console. Your choice.

Yeah, i got my xbox last friday. I traded in all my old PSone stuff and got £93 at gamestation so i had already had about £200 saved so i brought an xbox.

No regrets.

Trust me you will LOVE halo. I do a paper round (im only 15) and get £7.50 a week for it so i have to wait like a month to buy a game!

No..... really...... I found crap...... in my house.....

I looked down the toilet, shoved my hand down, pulled my hand back out, saw the crap, sold it, then bought an XBox.

I hear theres a pretty big market for crap nowadays.

Ah well.

*shrugs*

Im having fun.

I don't have any regrets at all. Well done Microsoft.

All there is to do now is sit back and wait for something to hopefully come through. :-)

Yeah that happened with me. I registered my DC really quick online and then in the post I got a letter saying I could get Chu Chu Rocket free. Went online filled it in and then got the game a week or to later.

Registered the PS2 the day I got it(launch day), recieved a demo disk and thats it. Other people have recieved other demos for Wipeout Fusion and ICO, but I havent.

Ok. I'll fill it in tonight, and send it off tommorow.

Thanks guys!

(I was thinking about registering it via xbox.com, but I don't trust the internet enough, for me to think it won't get lost. :D)

Sent mine off too. Like Adrian said, its free so its only gonna take a couple of minutes of your time. You never know what you might get back in the future. :-)

So its always worth doing these things, especially when its not costing you anything. :-)

I've sent it off but had nothing back. Its FREE to send off, so you might aswell spend a few mintues filling it out. You will probably be sent free demo disks and other stuff by sending the form back.
