XBOX: I am sold!

I just got my XBox an enjoy it a lot! The controllers are really nice. I even bought PS2 games before I got the XBOX but I changed my mind about getting a PS2 after I played my nephews PS2. Both systems are nice, but the controllers (and ethernet) put the XBOX over the edge for me...

I have a copy of Madden 2002 for the PS2 - Unopened and new... willing to trade for XBOX games... I have Madden, NHL and Azurik so far....

IMO, you should have gotten the PS2. Right now I could easily name 20 GREAT games for it, and only name 3 for the X-Box. One more is coming on the 26th (RAW), but after that, there's a pretty big lull. It'll be about a year before either new system really starts moving (as has been for pretty much every other launch). I hope you enjoy it, though!

Who can own 20 great games once they get a system? I own 2 games right now and it already consumes way too much of my life. There are good games trickling in all the time, I would say you should look at the sticky thread for upcoming titles you and might get more excited. What does PS2 have coming out in the future that's going to be wonderful?

Yes, there are only 32 games for the Launch of the XBOX with 18 more to come... but I would say my interests are open to 8 of the current games and 4 of the ones announced....

Nightcaster
WWF: Raw Is War
NFL Blitz 2002
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
Then the games after March...

Crazy Taxi Next
Grand Theft Auto 3
House of the Dead 3
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon
Spy Hunter
Warcaster
Legion: Legend of Excaliber
Metal Gear Solid X
Reign of Fire
Ultimate Blade of Darkness
Warhammer
Spider-Man: The Movie

So, I would say it is okay, as was mentioned, Halo, Azurik and other RPGs will take up so much time, I won't notice until the next release! Then I will get other games on want on eGay or half.com for much much cheaper than $50 each!

PS2 is good, sure, it has been around a year longer. But as I stated, the built in Hard Drive, Ethernet and the larger Controllers really put it over the top for me. Sure, buying an add-on for the DVD player is major wack...but whaddya gonna do...

Yeah, but you should also check out some of the some games at www.gamespot.com for the XBox.

Hunter: The Reckoning (March 15, 2001)
New Legends (This game will rock. Looks better than Shenmue)
