76786 2002-09-06 00:34:00 Xbox is Microsoft. Don't go there we have enough of that bug fill error causing stuff already. Stick with playstation. You could always wait for a PS3. due out in 2005 I think with 1000 times the power it has at the moment

Makes PS look like a Master System -- well, maybe not quite, but I can't understand how people can sit and wait 5 mins or so while their game saves. :p

Going with PSOne due to affordability

You are absolutely correct re the XBox Scott..... Any word on price of the consol and and am I correct in assuming that it will be compatible with any PC CDRom game?
I think that once people see them in action, the features and what you can do with them, Sony etc will not even get a look in.
Most interesting days ahead.

BALDY:-)

Perhaps you could list the features for those unaware of how good it is

76790 2002-09-06 01:38:00 The winner is Mr Scott Bartley. Word is he needs a break after his Xbox RalliSport drubbing at the hands of PC World's Editor, whom I'm not necessarily related to. Big Ed (1774)
76791 2002-09-06 01:44:00 Baldy.....RRP for the Xbox is $499 on sale Oct 3. Games should retail for between $89 -$129. And the Xbox will not play PC games...sadly.

Big Ed.....you do talk some rubbish sometimes....

76792 2002-09-06 01:50:00 Xbox: reportedly $499, but Electronics Boutique are advertising a "trade-in 8 PS2 games and get Xbox for $399.

Only a matter of time before someone alters that though, surely

76794 2002-09-06 01:53:00 Yikes..... a bit cheaper than I initially was told.

Oh well, might go with the XBox and a HP (Its only money)

Wonder if Sony will drop the PS2 price a little as a sweetner to try and snare extra customers. There's always a price war over these things
