And then I noticed something, Jet Set Radio Future... but its in the X-box section better not go, well it might be worth a look, maybe it's multi-format, I’ll check. *Click* Oh my god this is the X-box, look at the awesome Dead or Alive 3 wow, look how amazing that is just look at those special moves, how fast how... how... how amazing, and Jet Set Radio Future it looks so good, and Halo I mean oh my word, games like this exist on other consoles but Nintendo? That settles it after Gamecube I am getting the X-box... £300???? With no game, *sigh* ah well back to the wonderful land of Gamecube. Mario Golf and Tennis on the Gamecube, Super Mario World X???

"What are you doing Chris?" said a familiar voice
"Nothing, Nothing at all" I replied trying to cover the screen.
"You were going to buy an X-box, weren't you Chris?" he continued
"Maybe but its now ONLY £200!!!" I exclaimed!
"But Chris, the Gamecube is just £165 and the games are cheaper, you weren't going to choose an x-box over the Gamecube were you Chris, you’ve avoided temptation for so long you were not going to give in with just 2 weeks left?" He asked.
"But Mario, games like Halo, Jet Set Radio Future and Dead or Alive 3 look REAAAALLLY Good" I insisted.
"But then what Chris? A few good PS2 ports, a few movie licenses and then nothing, you know of the Mario's, the Zelda's, you know about Resident Evil are they not 'REAAAALLLY Good', please Chris don't lose your roots" pleaded Mario.
I blinked, looked blankly at the order form and clicked on the X button in the corner. With that the page disappeared along with the Italian plumber who had his hand on my shoulder. I glanced around the room and saw my GBA, Mario World was in it and I turned it on:
"Only 2 weeks to go" I said.
