"If we DO lose Rare, will YOU buy an X-Box??"

Personally, if Rare announced today that all their future titles will be on X-Box, I wouldn't rush out and buy one tomorrow. For me, the X-Box really is very unappealing. I used to want Halo, but seeing as it's now coming out on PC, I'm not bothered about that. There are no games I want, I curse that 'controller' and it's just so damn ugly! (Those are all my own opinions, so no X-Box fanboys please).

I tells ya, Rare's games would have to be REALLY special for me to buy an X-Box, and even then, I'd wait till it's reduced to about £100.

True, i'd just have ignore any news about a new Banjo game. Rare are stupid if the do move, games like Banjo and Kameo are never gonna be as succesful as they would on a Nintendo console. They're Nintendo style games, the rest of the gaming community puts the blinkers on all calls them childish.

I won't believe it until I see it anyway, plus if this whole "Gamecube to be last console to be made by Nintendo" rumour is true (which it's not) then letting such a good game making company like Rare go would be a bit of a bad move no?

:)

Rare are only good because they have nintendo backing them, im sure they would soon fail if MS bought them.........

Who cares about Rare ? By the time they get any games ready for the X Box the console may well be obsolete anyway - they've given us Star Fox Adventures on the GC and very little else.

Good point.

X-Box owners are all PC GEEKS! All they like is poor FPS like Halo, and other 'rappy PC type games.

Rare's style just won't work on the console!

Can you imagine a cutsey platformer on the X-Box!?!

there is nothing wrong with the PC

Gamecube all the way for me

Bought an Xbox with DOA3 when it went down to £160.

Great value considering you got a hardrive in it, so no need for a memory card. Also the DVD remote is pretty cool and has pretty much all the features of a normal DVD player.

Also rumours that MGS3 maybe a an Xbox exlcusive. MGS2 was a fave of mine on the PS2. And Halo 2 looks amazing...

And there is nothing wrong with the Xbox pad. I been button bashing with it for hours on Dead or alive 3 :D

I'm definately sticking to Nintendo all the way. The only Rare game I'm looking forward to at the moment is Starfox Adventures, which is still going to be released, and beyond that, I could manage pretty easily without Perfect Dark 2, or whatever else they want to make. When you compare it to Pikmin, Super Mario Sunshine, Resident Evil and all the other great GC games made by other parties, there's no reason at all for me to buy an X-Box. Unless Microsoft give them out free, of course, in which case I'll have 10, and sell 9 as budget accommodation.

See Ya ;-)
