Im curious as to how many people have already decided to buy an X-Box. Can you keep your answers brief, like "yes" or "no" and then a quick explanation, I dont really want people going into details like the pipelinig architecture of the X-Box RISC CPU etc etc.
I'll start: I will buy one. Possibly not on day of release, it depends on the price.

NO WAY, It may have alot more polagons or whatever but it has an awful frame rate,jumps,crashes and needs a brand new Coffee table from MFI to support it's weight. i think the xbox is just a PC with joystick support and video out that'll play all new PC releases but underneath it all, It's just an excuse to get Bill gates and all his geeky chums into E3. and at £300 whoa nelly who's gona buy that when you can get a PS2 with a hard drive or a Gamcube for half the price.

awful frame rates...haven;t anything about that....
crashes...haven't heard anything about that.....
don't exaggerate the weight please
actually i think you'll find it isn't just a pc with joystick support....as many of the releases won't be going to the PC....duh
well the x box will already have a hard drive with it (i don't know how big but frankly you don't need a hard drive bigger than 15 GB at most)....

duh?, mmm well if your just listening to microsoft then your probably not going to hear about it's bad parts are you? no just like with every console. All you have to do is look at programmes like cybernet and bits and read reviews to get the overall picture

ok firstly you frankly don't need that big a hard drive, and having it that big just increases the cost....
somehow i just have a feeling that there won't be any of this frame rate problem...i mean where did you find this info or did you just make it up yourself...
if it did have that sort of problem developers wouldn't want to be producing for it....duh..

I'm definately buyin one (and I'll get a gamecube too!). For a start they've pinched some of the best software houses and designers around (been waitin too long for HALO), and they've got an evil empire like MS behind them to give them all the cash they needed for dervelopment.
And give up on the "windows is crap" stuff, it ain't so bad considering everyone in the world has a different machine - diff. hardware,software,plugins, the lot! It does pretty well considering it wasn't tailor made for each. If I stuck you in someone elses house for the first time, not only do you not know where the bathroom is, chances are your butt would be too fat to fit on the toilet seat.

A fair point however the more you mess about with the PC the more you realise that the compatability problems with hardware etc.. is all dealt with by the BIOS. Windows doesnt do anything that impressive except take up resources that should be available for application software.

I wish i could afford a PS2 a 'Cube and an X, but i can't. I think i'll go where Sega gives the most 3rd party support, which seems to rule out the PS2.
i will buy an Xbox
who wont its absolutly amazing!!!!
