Im just complaining a bit about Microsofts X-Box price slash!!! Fair enough it's a great deal, but what about those people who paid £299.99 on launch day? ... Well you get 2 free games and an X-Box controller. But thats unfair if you already have 4 controllers! I have heard many people say that they would not have any use for another controller. I haev 2 controllers, I would have no use for a third which is unfair on me and other X-Box owners, and we were the ones who paid the full price!!!
2 Free games, well that is good, but what if there are no games you want at the moment! And X-Box owners are pressurised to chose two before a certain date, and you can only chose some from a short list. Again, that's unfair!

Im sure that if X-Box owners who paid the full ammount for their console, were told that in three weeks time there would be a slash of £100, many people would wait before getting one. I would!! Instead we are forced to haev another controller msot people dont want and two games we are forced into getting... And we aqre the ones who paid the full price to show our dedication.

And why dont X-Box refund the difference??? Cos they want a guaranteed purchase of their products!

I have to confess I am not pleased at all with Microsofts deal to owners. I dont care what anyone says..... but im sure deep down every owner would rather have £100 in their pocket than a controller and two games. That £100 would give me freedom of choice, which I wont be getting! Especially when Microsoft said themselves that they would not be dropping the price!!!!!!!

Thanx for reading.

Nintendo have the market for small children. all their games are for todlers. all the re-makes of Mario and Luigi and a few new ones. all Mario games are the same. then there's that pikmin c##p. just like Pokemon. boring and annoying s##t! don't you get it yet? GC's the sweet juice and Xbox's the vodka for the big boys :)

you could almost feel sorry for those who bought an X-box, you would have thought they would have learnt that Sony and Nintendo have the market.

put it this way console kid...i prefer them to do what they are doing now rather than not doing anything at all...also i do want amped (and probably get another copy of halo cos i swapped mine for rallisport challenge)...another controller might come in handy should one break or should i want to play multiplayer etc...i'm not too annoyed that they aren't giving money back to me

The reason microsoft are giving early adopters of xbox two games and a controller instead of money, is one because its cheaper for them to give you things than money and two becuase they are scared people wil put £30 will the £100 refund and buy a gamecube

because if they did that it would cost them more....
they lose less if they give out the free games and controller....all i'll do is probably get one that i've already got and then sell it or something

Thats my point Beanz, im sticknig up for people like yopu who have bought all the games they want and dont want 2 free one, ur feeling as if ur being forced into getting 2 free games you dont want. hat about those people with 4 controller ports and 4 games, those people who spent £500 on a package!!!!!

MS.... WHY DONT YOU REFUND US???? THEN WE CAN SPEND THE MONEY ON WHATEVER GAMES WE LIKE!!!!!
