Guest v1nn1e Posted May 1, 2003 Report Posted May 1, 2003 Thinking of getting an XBox! Is it worth it? and where is it the cheapest? Thanks in advance.
Guest Vector Posted May 1, 2003 Report Posted May 1, 2003 Yes, it is dfinetly worth it, there are a good line up of games being released this year and the beggining of next year GTA will be available for Xbox, yay ;)
Guest meaks Posted May 1, 2003 Report Posted May 1, 2003 Well I've got a Ps2 and the only reason I would want to get an x-box is for online gaming. But then again Ive got a pc :? Halo and splinter cell look like the only must have games for the x-box and splinter cell is now multi-format and I've heard rumours at the very least that halo is coming to pc. I suppose X-box is slightly cooler though ;)
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted May 1, 2003 Report Posted May 1, 2003 www.play.com. XBox, Splinter Cell and some other game for 170 quid (assuming the deliver internationally).
Guest v1nn1e Posted May 1, 2003 Report Posted May 1, 2003 If i get the XBox from amazon.com for £115 plus splinter cell from play.com for £25, a total of £140. Is this good? Ghost Recon any good?
Guest bdmoore Posted May 1, 2003 Report Posted May 1, 2003 Sounds pretty good, don't reckon you'll beat that by much anywhere!! Ghost Recon is cool especially if you get Live and play online ;)
Guest lutzh Posted May 1, 2003 Report Posted May 1, 2003 Funny but true: The headset from Xbox live works on SPV and Tanager.... Just another reason to get one ;-) Cheers, Lutz
Guest spacecowboy6982 Posted May 1, 2003 Report Posted May 1, 2003 GTA will be available for Xbox, yay ;) Is this a rumour?? I hope so - I h8 you scummy X-Box owners. GTA is ours' lol !!! :evil: 2 b honest m8 the X-box is graphically superior to any console but the reason why I bought the PS2 was the line up of games are by far the best - and will be until 2006 until we see the launch of the "Next Generation" consoles. SpaceCowboy
Guest SeeJ Posted May 1, 2003 Report Posted May 1, 2003 The line up of games for the ps2 was dire for about the first year.... IMHO
Guest v1nn1e Posted May 1, 2003 Report Posted May 1, 2003 Wicked! Just got an xbox, sega gt and another game for £100
Guest Vector Posted May 1, 2003 Report Posted May 1, 2003 Yep, GTA is coming to XBOX and cube :) Rockstar games has a contract with Sony but that ends the beggining of next year so they are expected to make GTA 3 and GTA vice city for XBOX and Cube :D Sorry all u PS2ers :twisted: (altough i have a PS2 aswell ;) )
Guest superkingdave Posted May 1, 2003 Report Posted May 1, 2003 x box does have some good games though gotham and unreal championship is quality. cant wait for halo two. i find the x box controller excellent aswell and when i use my flat mates ps2 controller it feels flimsy not to mention the retro snes controller
Guest v1nn1e Posted May 1, 2003 Report Posted May 1, 2003 Got the xbox up and running. After a half hours playing sega gt, the xbox crashed just before the start of a race. This was earlier on, then just now it done it again, also at the begining of one of the races. I was thinking whether or not the xbox is dodgy or the game is dodgy. Came to the conclusion that it is the game as it happens at the beginning of races. Do you guys agree? or should i get the xbox changed? Does the xbox tend to crash?
Guest HelloDave Posted May 2, 2003 Report Posted May 2, 2003 Does the xbox tend to crash? It's Microsoft and runs Windows CE. Need I say more :wink: I've never seen one crash, but then I've only played Halo.
Guest Vector Posted May 2, 2003 Report Posted May 2, 2003 My Xbox has never crashed but it might well be that the disc is faulty or damaged, Did you get a demo disc with the Xbox ?, if so try that and see what happens :wink:
Guest Mr_Protozoa Posted May 2, 2003 Report Posted May 2, 2003 I work in a games shop and our demo xbox never crashes. It's was one of the 1st ones in the country and getting on a bit now, since it's been running about 8 hours a day 6 days a week for over a year. But our ps2 crashes all the time. weird. Xbox - Windows CE Based SPV - Windows CE Based. Weird.
Guest spacecowboy6982 Posted May 2, 2003 Report Posted May 2, 2003 The line up of games for the ps2 was dire for about the first year.... IMHO And the X-box had what good games out @ its launch - other than Halo i seem to remember - lol - thats all u x-boxers go on about Halo - the only decent game lol - have to say i am a fan of champ man ;) SpaceCowboy
Guest Ras Posted May 2, 2003 Report Posted May 2, 2003 With the PS2 you get an extra level on Splinter Cell, with extra in-game footage... you also don'y need to get your floor re-enforced to take the weight of the HUGE X-Box!!! Hopefully if Halo does come to the PS2 we will get 10 new levels ;) Viva PS2...long live SONY!!!
Guest superkingdave Posted May 2, 2003 Report Posted May 2, 2003 whats the new level for splinter cell do? that was one of the best games i have played and i was sad when i finished it
Guest Ras Posted May 2, 2003 Report Posted May 2, 2003 On the PS2 there is a new level called Power Plant...I agree that it is an awsome game!! Read a few PS2 reviews and apparently the earlier levels on the PS2 have been modified so as not to "trip people up too soon"!!! Move furniture and exits apparently. Someone speculated that XBOX peeps may be able to download this new level, but on the official SplinterCell website it remains "exclusive to PS2". Enjoy
Guest superkingdave Posted May 2, 2003 Report Posted May 2, 2003 yeah i did spend about a week on the defense ministry, not being able to shoot people was an arse and the bodies kept getting discovered, but overall i dont think it was too hard since i am usually rubbish at games and i managed to complete it ;)
Guest SeeJ Posted May 2, 2003 Report Posted May 2, 2003 And the X-box had what good games out @ its launch - other than Halo i seem to remember - lol - thats all u x-boxers go on about Halo - the only decent game lol I wasn't going on about the x-box - I was talking about the ps2. I don't even own an x-box! (or ps2/gamecube) Halo isn't just a decent game - its fantastic, and I'm sure it would be no matter which format it was released on...
Guest spacecowboy6982 Posted May 2, 2003 Report Posted May 2, 2003 Anothe rfew games I've got a hold of recently are Primal and Silent Hill 3....oh the joys of a chipped PS2... ;)
Guest Matt Whitfield Posted May 2, 2003 Report Posted May 2, 2003 Surely the best reason for buying an X-Box is to never play games on it and immediately convert it to run Linux (ideally after soldering in an extra 64MB of memory) and run it as a Web server or something (like Paul does). That way get a Linux box for virtually nothing and the best bit is that MS has helped you buy it by subsiding the hardware! :-D
