Chi(mera) Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 Ok, here is a question that has been lingering in my sub-conscience. Does the Xbox really have that good of a game base? I mean I have been devoted to Nintendo and Playstation since they arrived on the market, in fact my nintendo is still kicking around in my room somewhere! :rofl: Seriously though, this console looks to me like an over the counter effort for gorillas to play games. I have seen one in person and it looks decent and weighs a ton... ok, ok My real question is, are they worth it. Feed your oppinions here, I want to find out what the true Xbox fans think!! k, thnx :shifty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyD Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...opic=101525&hl= I would check that thread out. Not a direct answer but I think it would help in any decisions you're trying to make. I personally don't see any upcoming exclusive PS2 games that will be worth owning the system. Eventually, most of the exclusive games will be released either on the PC or other systems so it's not really a selling point anymore. The Gamecube on the other hand is the perfect companion to anyone's gaming collection. Though Nintendo has serious marketing/management issues, they still manage to trickle out quality first games that should not be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chi(mera) Posted October 6, 2003 Author Share Posted October 6, 2003 Alright, thanks for the link! I agree nintendo is a serious past time console for me, it all started off with Mario on nintendo. Then the obsession hit with n64 and Orcarina. I agree that a gamecube is a must have, it pumped out two calssics already. - Metroid Prime - Wind Waker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

altermind Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 the Xbox is basically a PC which boots up faster..... therefore.. it's a good thing :) :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boffa Jones Veteran Posted October 6, 2003 Veteran Share Posted October 6, 2003 I dont really feel the need to mod it as it would cost a bit of cash but i think it is deftinetly worth it if you ahve the cash to burn. Just keep supporting the good games and rip the average ones ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmh Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 Ifyour a 1337 solder you can solder the bios flash points and flash the bios with exicuter (or whatever bios you want) and its the same as having a modchip! It's free and thats what i did to mine. Its called a TSOP at xbox-scene by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kompressor Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 Xbox is worth it cuz you dont have to screw around with system requirements like you do with pc games..even though you have a descent computer or w.ever.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiGhTfast Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 (edited) yeh i love my xbox, i'd never be without one now... if it breaks i'd be straight down the shop buying another one games are great, live is great fun and the underground modscene is the best out of all the consoles... I could'nt be without xbox media player at all, beats the pants off any proper standalone player Edited October 6, 2003 by LiGhTfast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclingplatypus Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 I have an Xbox that I bought the week that they originally came out and have never been disappointed with it. I have also bought and sold a PS2 because it was a huge disappointment! Is it worth it? YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chi(mera) Posted October 7, 2003 Author Share Posted October 7, 2003 I know, I seem to be getting incerasingly zZz with my playstation as of late. I just am not thrilled with the games as much as I was, I think it had to do with the buzz about it...thats faded. I just see so many other games that I want, they just are on consoles I dont have. rearhasfjkasls!@ Or maybe it is just the thought that I can not get them that makes me want them. WILL I EVER KNOW.....DUN DUN dunnnnn ates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forster Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 I've been a devoted PS2 follower, but the one thing that flaws the PS2 is the lack of an 'online community'. The online player base for XBox - either Live or XBC/XLink - are great. Like some others on this thread, I recommend modding it with a chip and upgrading the HDD. This way, (unless you are on Live) you can copy all your legal ( :ninja: yeah right) backups to your hard drive and not have to worry about scratching your copi.... erm, bought games. You cant (read: shouldnt because you'll get your ass banned) connect to Live with an activated modchip, so its always something to consider when you think about modding.
