I have the original Xbox and was considering upgrading so;

Has anybody got one yet?

Are they worth the money?

Realistically, how long will I have to wait if I order one now?







Should I get out more Confused

Lots of people, apparently.

Probably, as Microslop sell the consoles at a huge loss, hoping you'll buy loads of overpriced games to recoup their initial losses.

Depends whether you're willing to spend a grand on one on Ebay or not...

Has anybody got one yet? no, but my mate has. There awesome!

Are they worth the money? Yes!

Realistically, how long will I have to wait if I order one now? If your quick and get one on the day the next batch come out then you could get one mid january. If not then it would be late january/early Feb!

Humm, the old buisness rule of Supply and Demand.

If I demand one and they can't supply it when want - why should I give them my buisness?

Argos have random stocks on the website, last weekend they put a batch of them online for sale..at 5am in the morning!! They were gone within 30 minutes. Since then they haven't had any stock.

Game in leeds also had some in last week, my mate bought one last week after they got a delivery of them in. Although i don't think any of the game shops in York are any good with stock.

Also heard that it will be the middle of Febuary before any real amount of stock on them.

Perfect Dark Zero is (in some people's opinion) not as good a launch title for the 360 as HALO was on the original Xbox, It's a good FPS but

Although what do I know I still waste (a lot of) my time playing Unreal Tournament 2004 on my PC.

Golden eye and Perfect Dark where the muts nuts. Better than Halo, if not graphically.

Halo is, in my opinion, by far and away the most overrated game ever, with Mario 64 being the only one I can think of that comes even close to it. It really gets quite ridiculous hearing people yammering on about it being the best First Person Shooter of all time. These people would do well to get themselves a copy of Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Half Life or Deus Ex, all of which are far superior examples of the genre.

I'll get one next year when they are normal price and in stock.

The Xboxs I've had have always had more use than the PS2. They reckon the PS3 will be better than the Xbox 360, but hey, so long as it gives you a laugh for an hour now and again I'm ok with the Xbox I've got at the moment.

You've done well there. The most I saw them go for was 650 around release. Mind you, there's plenty of mugs out there, so fair play to you. Supply and demand.
