Well ive been experimenting, the Xbox is my first modern console(my last and first being an Atari). The reason i got it was that i figured i didnt want to spend £800+ on a pc that would be good for gameing, especially as IMHO games are starting to get very 'produced', so many hrs gameplay per buck spent kinda thing.
There are exceptions to the rule but the accountants are in control it seems.
So with the Xbox i can play newer titles that catch my eye, i've always bought origionals so i dont mind the odd £30+ every few months.
I going to get a second hand low spec pc to play the great classics(1990-1997ish), as IMHO i think these games offer better gamplay,challange,value. So i get the best of both worlds, at half the price. Thats the theory anyway
1+2. Four essentials that would make me buy an Xbox over say a PS2, for me are:
Halo1+2
Morrowind
Championship manager
Jet Set Radio
most of the other games ive played are kinda throw away(but it is a console) after you've completed them, but the best of that lot are:
Rocky(best with a friend)
Jedi Knight II(there is a sequel coming i think)
Amped(difficult to get the hang of - maybe the sequel will be better?)
3. I've been happy with the Xbox so far(about 1year old), no problems, paid the £20 or so for the DVD thing, and that works fine with the dvd's ive bought.
4. Well i might not bother with the next Xbox, i havent tried Knights of the Republic yet or the new expansion version to the Morrowind game or Halo2, so lots of good titles that should keep my high resolution needs catered for
I've been pleased with it overall - worth the £140 i spent, and its also a useful anti thief device, if i threw it at them
The Xbox has a harddrive so many of my essential games i mentioned, couldn't be done on the other consoles at present......so it had to be the Xbox for me.
Maybe the warrenty advice is a good idea though?(i didnt take out any additional
