    Hmm I'm on the verge of ordering one and trying desperately to excuse it, we have a PS2 and really we should just wait for the PS3. An XBox no matter how cheap is probably just greedy.
    My Doctor told me that "1 out of 3 people who start smoking will eventually die." The other two apparently became immortal.

    Xbox are great, at this price they are a steal. Get one, get it modified and you will never look back.

    I have over 130 Xbox games on mine, 16,000 emulators & Xbox Media Centre for movies, and music.

    Xboxes can be softmodded without even opening the case, do a search on Google, requires a game and memory card.

    You can also install a larger hard drive to store all your stuff on.

    Anyone in the Craigavon area looking a softmod & XBMC for a small fee let me know.
  • Hmmm... I'm very tempted by the price as a pressie for OH. However I know nothing about them & am wondering if a a 360 or a PS-whatever is better. OH normally plays war games like rome or civilisation on a pc. Can anyone help or know of a website that has a quick comparison chart or something?

    Thanks

    the way i see it is the xbox is a console aimed more towards the more mature audience, ie war games and first person shooters, ps2/3 is somewhere in the middle and the nintendo is more for (but not exclisively) aimed at the younger market.

    the xbox is a great console, its more powerful than the playstation 2, with better graphics, it has a big back catalogue of games that you can pick up second hand in game for a few quid, and if you get really bored of it, there is a chance that you can make it into a desktop pc (as it is really a pentium 3)!

    as the newly realeased games for the ps2 are all around £39, this is a steal for £10 more with 4 games!

    having said that, if you have an oh that has a hi def tv then they'll be dissapointed if its not an xbox 360!
