In a moment of madness this weekend I bought an Xbox. I got an excellent deal but up to yet it's still sat in my bedroom all boxed up.
I don't why I bought it, well yes I do I wanted to play games and the offer was so tempting but now I'm having second thoughts. I'm not having seconds thoughts on playing games but on whether I should return the Xbox to the shop and swap it for a Gamecube, I have until Saturday to do this.
The Xbox looks good and I am so tempted to open it but then I think, well its only a few days until the Gamecube launches and I so much want to play Lugi and Sonic.
Now your all thinking why didn't I wait and just buy a gamecube? Well I thought I had made my mind up on a Gamecube but then I saw a better deal for an Xbox and then when I went to purchases this 'better' deal, I got an even better deal, so in the end It was simply the price that determined my choice.
Now what should I do?, what would you do?
I have sat at home the aforementioned Xbox and copies of Halo, Max Payne, Dead Or Alive 3, Artic Thunder and Mad Dash Racing. I could either keep this or return it to the store. If I returned it the store I would have the £300 again to spend on a Gamecube.
So It's the value of the Xbox and the temptation of online Halo or kicking ten bells of s=== out of my mates with DOA 3
VS
The 'cuteness' of that little purple cube and hours of endless fun with Lugi and Sonic.
What is a man to do? Xbox or Cube Xbox or Cube Xbox or Cube ....... Help!
BTW Playstation 2 is out of the question, Been there done that and Now that's GTA 3 on the way for the PC, the PS2 has no appeal.

I say keep the Xbox, i am also wanting a gamcube BUT i went for the Xbox first because those games appealed to me more and i wasn't very impressed with the games that the cube offers, so i am haning on until around the summer time to see if the games do improve, i'm not saying they are bad, they just don't appeal to me, you have to decide which games you prefer on each console. I have a demo of DOA3 and its class, to me it seemded different to DOA2 on the ps2 which i own, but for graphics the Xbox is great, so is the cube on certain games too!
Halo is the reason to own an xbox, you have chosen most of the right games, max payne is another great game too, i say keep the xbox and hang out a little longer for the cube, sonic was on the dc so its no different, and luigi's mansion isnt that long from what i've read in reviews, but Halo will last you ages, top quality.
Go for the Xbox for now i say!
