Smile Made my decision

I'm going to get xbox when it comes out. The reason why is that ps2 announced they will not be dropping prices in north america (ill get the link up later)...I know they have alot of great games out talready, but I have faith in micro$oft, and their money, so they can revive it, if it starts to go downhill. I just thought for me to equal the ps2 to xbox, Id have to get an adapter for 4 players....hd add on...and a broadband add on, and Id actually end up spending more money on it. I just hope some companies can make some awsome title for xbox, as I dont see too may right now.

Unreal Warfare will first hit the X-Box, and from the reviews it looks like it'll be a great game .

Halo looks to be an excellent game. It was supposed to come out for the PC. Damned Microsoft.

Im not sure, I have a feeling that Xbox will end up just like dreamcast, bundled with 3 top games for $99 just to get rid of the exhisting systems and games in stock. and also if you look at microsofts history gates is real quick to shut something down if it isnt working out. I give it 6 months and then expect the dreaded announcement. I know i was in shock when after paying 300 for a dreamcast they announced they would be stopping production. Playstation is already a lock, no way they are going to go down the crapper. They are already established in the console world.

Thumbs up

Making a decision is half the battle! I have big hopes for the Xbox getting some good game developers signed on the team. As long as they target the older genre and not the 6-13yrs olds like Nintendo has in their games, it'll be in the running for a while, i would think. It's tuff cause Sony is strong, tried and true for console gamers.

I say , take the road less traveled and pave the way Hey, It's only money and these are just expensive toys when it comes down to it. Enjoy yourself!
