I know a it aout the PS2 and the GC. Before anyone says they're "inferior" I already have them and like 'em. But now I'm interested in Xbox and I know very little about it, so if anyone feels like helping;

Is the buffy game any good ?
What will be the top 5 games this Xmas on Xbox ?
Is the DVD playback good, through a scart cable (RGB) ?
Anything else worth mentioning ?

Thanks, if anyone answers :)

Make sure you have a good sound system.

There are better DVD players out there.

Buffy is fun, only really for fans though.

Halo is very good. Get that.

All the other games are in my opinion of average quality.

Worth getting if you have the money.

Personally i'd say its worth it alone for the ability to rip your own CD tracks to the hard-drive and play them in certain games. I been lovin cruising around in Project gotham racing listening to all my funky hard house...

Heh, but thats just me...

It's a fun game, if a little repetitive.

I'd say:
-Splinter Cell
-Blinx
-Morrowind
-Panzer Dragoon Orta
-Dead or Alive Extreme Beach Volley Ball ;))
It's down to personal taste really....

Don't really know???

> Anything else worth mentioning ?
-'Project Ego' promises to be something very special.
-And of course 'Halo 2'.

Yup - an excellent game. :-) I've enjoyed it and I'm not even a fan of the tv series. :-)

I would say...
Splinter Cell
Blinx: The Timesweeper
Unreal Championship
Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic
Mech Assault

I've seen the DVD player in action and its very good. :-)

> Anything else worth mentioning ?

X-Box Live will be by far the best online service of the 3 consoles.
There are also excellent titles in development such as...
Halo 2
Project Gothem Racing 2
BC
Ninja Gaiden
Star Wars: Galaxies
Project Ego
Metal Gear Solid: Substance
Panzer Dragoon Orta
DOA: Extreme Beach Volleyball
Ghost Recon
Toejam & Earl 3
Steel Battalion
Lamborghini
Psychonauts
Phantasy Star Online
Counter Strike
Soul Caliber 2
Midtown Madness 3

Mech Assault wont do that well in Europe I bet, that kinda stuff appeals more to those crazy Japs.
