X Box. Opinions?????

[Watcher]

G'day folks.
Well the X Box release is getting closer and all kinds of advertising is showing up.
I was just wondering how many gamers out there are hanging for the X Box or who is going to steer well clear of it?
Who thinks PS2 or Game Cube is the way to go?

I'm one of those people who didn't rush out and buy a PS2 when news came out about Microsoft's X-Box.

It sure does look impressive when compare to PS2 or the Gamecube. Microsoft might not have exp. in this market but they have money to waste.

I'll get one if I can stop buying DVDs. :D

I'll probably wander into one of those shops that let you play on consoles for a few dollars for hour just to experience Halo on the Xbox :)

Halo Halo Halo !

I really want to see Halo in action, but, as a complete PC fan, I reject all the other platforms (sorry, guys/gals, it's just too 'childish' for me, ahem). So I'm gonna sit tight and wait for Halo to appear for the PC. Eh, that's gonna be a great day!;)

I heard that some of my fav game designers are not programing for the x-box eg. Squaresoft, Capcom just to name a couple
:(

i think I will go for PSII....


they got the $$, the market, the hype, the experience, the backing....



MS will always have to $$...... and that will buy them everything else....


but PSII is a sure winner.......... If MS have the $$ to throw away.... then it could mean they have the $$ to throw away their Xbox if it is a flop in years to come...... like dreamcast...

But I doubt it....

Instead of spending $650 on a X-Box go out and buy a GeForce 3 for your computer so that when Halo comes out on PC you can intake the full experience of it

Does anyone know the official Australian release date and price for the xbox.

March 14th, the price is $650. I'm sure target and kmart will have it a bit cheaper though.

So a year on since this thread!!

that expensive price tag didn't last long did it.

[Watcher]

...a year later?
I finally own one.

I wonder where we'll be this time next year? :)

[Tsargrad]

probably discussing the merits of Virtua Fighter 5 compare to Tekken 5, and talking about the new price drops.
