Hey everyone! I've decided to get an X-box instead of a PS2 for a couple of reasons mainly that I don't have to buy memory cards for ages but I need to buy the DVD remote and I prefer thier games such as Buffy the vampire slayer and dead or alive. I want to know more about my fucher console though so could you all post the pro's and con's of the X-box here thanx :D

Pros: nice hardware, great price, great launch titles, many titles coming out about now

Cons: didn't release a single outstanding game since launch...i'm still waiting for one now actually...some find controller too big -i think it's fine but the triggers are too tight

I think at £160 the xbox is too much of a bargain to miss!

Ive been thinking about picking up an X-Box myself...

Though the other consoles do have a fine selection of advantages, I think MS's box'o'tricks s the one that most intreagues me... especially its future lineup

Though to be honest, I quite like the controller, not that I have gigantic hands, more I suspect its because they are full-sized adult-esq digits rather than the smaller appendages many of you younguns are sporting...

Having said that, both the PS2 and GC controllers feel fine to me too?
