hmm, i wouldn't mind an Xbox but those games don't really make me reach for my wallet. Obviously Halo looks cool but I hardly wanna fork out £350 for one game eh ! I'll stick with my PS2 for the mo....

quite a large list... i expected something like 3-4 games, hehehe. pretty stupid of me tho, a "very small amount of games" in the industries eyes would be like 10 i thought... "practically none" (as stated about the availability at x-box launch) would be 4 according to me. WRONG. lol anyways, only game that interests me is halo, and if it was for pc i would prolly buy it straight off the shelf no matter the costs. but, this involves a console :lick: consoles are lame.

console are lame. My computer is tons of times faster than the xbox and isn't limited to the tiny amount of pixels as a tv. Unless you have $1000's to spend on HDTV why spend more money for a sub-standard, instant-antiquated machine.

#7 You're lame. XBox beats your pussy computer into the ground. It beats my pussy computer into the ground. Until you get your hands on Halo and play it for a long period of time and fall in love with it, you wont understand how lame your computer is... XBox will run better looking and more enjoyable games for years to come, while your computer will just become outdated due to lousy computer game programmers who don't optimize their code and don't care about people with older PC. My computer is two years old, and it wont run MOHAA decently. It's a load of ASS, the fact that these people don't do their stuff properly. It should run fine, but nope, they choose to try to force me into buying a new computer in order to run it. Uh-nuh. XBox will be my new gaming system until I can *afford* a new computer in a year or two.
