Something else it is then. Anyway, my interest in Xbox, despite owning one for a very short time after it was released, was limited. Basically, I am a Ninty at heart, but I don't have blind faith - I go to where the best games are, and it seems the only way to do that is just own all the consoles. :D
I was put off by the price though, until I saw 2 games free and a Xbos for £155!!! Bloomin' hell! They really are making it an offer you can't refuse. Anyway, as a huuuge fan of Shenmue, I have some questions...
1) Will future Shenmue games be released after 2? (I have already got it on DC)
2) What two games are the best to get?
3) What are the chances of a future price drop? (With the way Microsoft are going, you never know)
Answers on a postcard - or failing that, just reply. Danke.
£149.99 is decent, JSRF is amazing. Your saying about loading times, but sega GT 2002 does have quite a few loading screens and stuff which can get annoying. JSRF is excellent fun!
Also, while i was carrying it round town after i had bought it, my arm started to go numb so i kept switing arms to relieve the pressure. It's a blody heavy beast ! And im no weak guy, but that thing is so heavy ! No wonder it had (something along these lines) -
"!! Saftey Warning !! Do not drop ! Can cause serious injury to people, especially small children, and the xbox console."
It had these plastered all over it ! Cracked me up that did ... literally :)
So far i dont have a problem in the world with my new toy, the loading times are a bit of a pain compared to the instant ones with the gamecube, and the fact that i cut myself trying to open the s-control packaging in the car, with no scissors or anything, but apart from that it's great !

Someone in another topic said you work for Game ? I believe them, the above sentences are almost out of the Game training manual... has Game ever considered that maybe the Xbox isn't popular in their stores because nearly all the staff slate it ?
In the Nottingham store this Saturday one of the idiots told this guy the graphics were not as good as PS2 ? Was this employee blind or something ?
Game are fast getting a reputation worse than even Dixons...

But I am fortunate enought to be in a position where I can afford all three. Many people may only have one to choose from, and that is where the battle lies. Out of a choice for all three, many people may still go for PS2 (and to a lesser extent Gamecube). The time people start choosing Xbox as their only console is the time they will really succeed.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm, I'll bet every penny I have that you're slating it. Not that you're predictable or anything.

No it does'nt (which is a great shame) as the controller S is excellent!

Read my new topic dudey.
Also I have some questions to ask.
I watched that super xbox dvd (The one when those people find eyes and ears and put them on themselves) And watched the trailer for blinx, and noticed in game you could rewind, record and fast forward. Could anyone explain these cool features? As Im think of buying it with splinter cell.
