"Should i keep my x box?"

i bought an x box on launch day with halo, which i was over the moon with it since then ive bought project gotham racing and ISS2, my brother has a PS2 and max payne so even though i really like max payne i didnt bother to buy it for the x box.

then about a month ago i bought a game cube cos i really wanted super monkey ball and super smash bros after playing them on my friends cube, the cube seems to have some really great games coming out, like mario sunshine, metroid prime, and the resident evil series, which im gonna get, but as the x box doesnt really seem to have many good games at the moment i was gonna sell it (supposed to sell it to my bro at end of sept) but i really wanna get halo2 when it comes out so now im having second thoughts about selling it.

can anyone help me, and give me sum good reasons to hang onto it? ie new games, or online info etc,

thanks

Oh just go away Boxcar_boy, no-one is interested in your pathetic GameCube comments! Be warned for those who are trying to answer this question, he *DOESN'T* have an Xbox and he is just wanting to rectify all the abuse he gave people by setting up a *CHATTY* post where he can discuss with people something that he doesn't have and has no intentions of getting! I will answer one question though, whats funny? I will tell you what is funny, you having the cheek to try and talk to the people who you insulted and abused! Decent people like Gamezfreak and Cyclone have tried to help you out, but you deserve nothing!

why is that funny?, mario the greatest series of games ever made, metroid prime which is apparently gonna be the best fps ever and resident evil games are just quality, thats why im defo keeping the cube and thats only mentioning three games,
theres
mario kart,
pefrect dark
zelda
resident evil 0
starfox
f-zero
Xlll
Super monkey ball 2
eternal darkness
phantasy star online

this is why im keeping the cube the quality of games coming out is well publicised but the x box games release dates and line ups are hard to find.

i so hope this is a hjoke look at the GC games listed LMAO

I hate people like that

He doesn't even own an Xbox, why start all that what he did? He is leading you all on so don't bother trying to help him, it is a waste of your time!

If you've got a Gamecube and an optional PS2.

I'd say yes! Definitely keep the xbox, here are some major factors of keeping it: -

1.Games: Excellent lines up of games, 150 are to be released by Christmas (60 of them are xbox-exclusives) and 300 are in development at the current moment in time. With brilliant games coming up, here are a few that I am REALLY looking forward to: -

• Blinx Timesweeper - Platformer, along the same lines as Mario, control a cat that can control time! Rewind time, Fast Forward Time, Pause time the same controls as you'd find on a normal VCR. Looks really good!

• Splinter Cell - This is THE MGS beater. Looks graphically impressive, with excellent looking Texture and Lighting effects. Gadgets such as a sticky camera that can release sleeping gas. I am really excited for this game.

• Project Ego - RPG. This looks like the biggest and Bestest RPG yet. It'd take hours for me to describe it to you.

• Halo 2 - This is self explanatory, if you've seen the screenshots I reckon you'd be excited as well. Sequel to the best game ever

• Racing Evoluzione - Build your own brand of car, yes your own, and race it against others. Looks awesome in the graphics department

• Project Gotham Racing 2 - Number one was excellent, they only just touched the graphical power in the first one, Looks almost a photo realistic racer.

• Shenmue II - Brilliant on the DC, Looks to be excellent on the xbox.

• Crazy Taxi 3: High Roller - Self-explanatory.

• Unreal Championship - Online Unreal console brand. You can guess that this game is going to be phat.

They are just a few! I want loads more games! Also with some brilliant games out now.

2.Hard drive

This might sound like a cheesy reason, but the hard drive is an important factor. Games can be loaded faster, with BIG levels and Vast Gameworlds. Also with xbox LIVE you can download game extras, for example a sports game; you could download new players to use in a game.

3.Xbox Live

Microsoft’s online service. Looks absolutely awesome! Voice communication instead of a keyboard, Buddy list, Chat, Game score keeping. You could be playing with some people from America, on Unreal Championship in a 16-player deathwatch. Downloadable content, And over 50 games in development for the service, it looks to be the best console online service ever! With the Ethernet port and hard drive already built in, all you need is the starter kit. www.xbox.com/live tells you more

They are just a few of the reasons why to keep your xbox, there is loads more including Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound, Record music onto the hard drive and loads of other stuff, I see no point in selling on your xbox. Research into a few things about the console/games and stuff get a few mags.

i already have a cube, but obviously i cant really afford to buy games for them both but id be willing to buy less gc titles if the x box titles were good enough

If you have loads of cash, I'd keep it, but if you need to sell to get a GC, then its really a tough choice. The XBox has lots of good games coming out soon, but can any of them stand up to Metroid, Mario, Starfox and all the rest? I am not conviced, which is why I have a GC.

i dont hate it i just think that design wise it could be improved and that it has its faults,, but halo is great, also i prefer the cube which is y im prob gonna sell the x box, to fund the huge list of new cube games coming, out

riight, I thought you hated Xbox Boxcar?

Anyways if you sell the xbox to your brother what do you lose? Nothing!
If he lives in your house that it. Just let him play on the cube a few times a week and he'll return the favour(probably).
