Well I've had my X-Box since launch and I've never had any problems with it. Same goes for the others I know that have one. Looking at your name, its quite fitting - cause you talk a complete load of squidgy brown stuff.

Sorry Chriss Poley but i think this guy must be younger than you if he thinks the xbox weighs tones. Oh and why would you need to pick up an xbox?

I know 15 people with an X-Box and another 5 that are hoping to get one very soon. All of them are intending to use the online capabilities when they are available too.
I traded in my PS2 to go towards the X-Box and I have no regrets about doing it. I also bought a GC on release day and that was traded back in this weekend. Again, no regrets in getting rid of it.
PS2 was and still is a good machine, but I really enjoy playing on the X-Box games, so even now, I know I wouldn't be giving my PS2 any attention and most games coming out on PS2 and GC that I want, are also coming to the X-Box. As for the GC, I bought Rogue Leader, Luigi's Mansion and Wave Race for it and I also played Super Monkey Ball and Bloody Roar. After a day or 2, the novelty had worn off and I just wasn't enjoying the games.
Most of them were just bloody frustrating. I mean I like a challenge as much as anyone, but I prefer them to be something that revolves around my tactics rather than having to move a stupid ball over a guitar string or work out how I'm going to get 10 ghosts from all directions while in about 5 steps of space to move around (hidden mansion mode on Luigi's Mansion). Wave Race was just boring to me, the D-Pad of the controller was pants so giving out orders in RL or trying to control fighters in Bloody Roar got annoying and the mini games in Monkey Ball seemed more based on luck than judgement.
Looking through the release schedules, I came up with like 4 or 5 titles on the GC that I'd definately like to have. With the X-Box, I came up with around 35 - 40 titles. So just cause your a Ninty fanboy doesn't make the X-Box a flop. I admire the fact that Microsoft are actually trying to bring console gaming forward. If we only had the choice of Nintendo, gaming would become pretty boring when every few years your just buying the next update of Mario, Mario Kart, Zelda, etc.
One thing that gets me about Zelda - theres no links (no pun intended) in the storylines. Nintendo basically tell the same story over and over again with slight changes. If it was an ongoing story, at least there would be something to look forward to but its the same tired story all the time. Elf kid gets sword, has to save kidnapped princess, etc. As Homer Simpson would say - "booooooooring".

ok you have been able to change my mind about the xbox its not as crap as i once thoght i still think that the xbox has dug it's self into a hole with things like huge price cuts and free memory cards but it does seem to be recovering quite well. Also the PS2 has got a good year to present it's self to the world which gives it a bit of a head start.
And i feel that the xboxs sales will grow more now because of there tv ad that was pulled off of tv this will give some pulicity

The PS2 looks poo, as does the GC. The look of a console DOES NOT MATTER. Unless you really sit there staring at the machine instead of playing games on it.

Bollards. It's only been out over here about 3 months, and it already has a number of must have EXCLUSIVE titles.
> 4.Nothing rewally speacial coming up for it
You blatantly don't know what you're talking about. Have you seen the release schedule?

Ah, now the truth comes out. You're a Ninty fanboy happy to keep playing the same old titles over and over again. I don't know how you can call Mario titles classic. Some of them are far from it. And Mario Sunshine hasn't even been released yet.
Here we go again.
