Game Consels
I came across some money and was thinking of buying a XBox for the living room, and just get one karate game, driving game, and maybe a shooting game. But XBox has been around so long now, I am wondering if buying now one would be stupid for there is a new thing around the corner. I do not keep up with this stuff like I used too. Can someone confirm my concerns are worth having?

From what I understand, the release of the new xbox and psx are sometime away. You should be safe.

If that is the case I will wait. Does he have a website I can reference that?
Still not sure in which direction to go: XBox or PS2 |

Personally if PS3 is more like a PC they would be worth taking a very close look at. As it stands I would get a Xbox

It's only $149. I say go for it. I love my Xbox. I like different types of games on different platforms.

I'm thinking the Phantom is not going anywhere soon.
