Well who thinks that the x-box has gone down the pan or thinks tht it has really taken off in the uk. Personnaly i thinkthat the x-box is a glorafied pc thare has been sevearl factors in its dimise
1.Over priced
2.Far o big to look attractive
3.A very small range of good games
4.Nothing rewally speacial coming up for it
5.(yes five)No classic titls(Like Mario & Liugi for Nintendo)

Any one that can find good thing about this box of horour then please tel me.

I'm not a fan of the x-box, but I don't think it's a bad console. Nor do I think it's a flop, because the machine is so much like a PC (Same graphics capabilities ect..) it can convert games more easily from that format. This means more games, and its game which keep machines afloat.

This is perhaps why I'm not getting one. I already own a PC and a PS2 and soon a GC. The selection of games for the x-box don't appeal to me much because I can get the games on my PC or playstation. I don't think it will flop though.

its all very well having a good and powerfull console but whats the point of all that power if there are no good games to play on it

also if they had a wider veriaty of games they would attract a lot more fans and sell a lot more units

I'm no Xbox fan but keep in mind that this is the most powerful console around, and i do agree that it is almost a PC with so many war / fighting games and an internal hard drive but is that such a bad thing? The games coming out for all 3 consoles in the future (of which i have 2) all look amazing and to be honest, i plan to buy my 3rd nex-gen console soon.

You seem slightly biased, but your point is taken.

Oh, and try spelling and punctuation in your posts. You'll be taken more seriously.

:D

Firstly, welcome to the forums.

Secondly, what the heck is a flap?

Thirdly, I dislike Xbox, but it's no flop.

The only way I would buy X-Box would be, if it was for a sort of operating machine.

I'd take the insides out and put them back in again, and see what happens.

Or maybe I could use it as a doorstop....

for the actual size of the x-box a big heavy thing does notdo it justice
