Ya, ur right Mena, why buy Xbox when all the xbox games are coming out for PC, which I know all u guyz have or u wouldnt be typing this........

Examples (Xbox to PC)

-Halo (of course! with hardcore online play!)
-Doom 3 (orginally for PC, moving to Xbox)
-Return To Castle Wolfenstein (already out!)
-Grand Theft Auto III (out for Ps2 and now PC!!)


You see, why buy Xbox when u can jus buy the games for PC. A good VooDoo Video Card, and ur gfx will be better than the Xbox!
Oh my god dude... please say you weren't serious about the voodoo card. Still playing quake 2 are we?

Anyways, Xbox is far from dying. It seems people here and concerned that the software lineup is weak and that there are no exclusive titles. Far be it from the truth, here are some awesome exclusives that I own and ones I am looking forward to:

Halo (duh)
Amped Snowboarding
Hunter: The Reconing
Rallisport Challenge
Project Gotham Racing
Crash Bandicoot: Wrath of the Vortex

and plenty of things to come:

Blinx (lots of great things are being said about this game[/i])
*Morrowind (this ones iffy... at least to me)
Ninja Gaiden (oh my god this game made me drool)
Brute Force
Halo 2 (announced to be online for xbox live)
amped 2 (same as halo 2)
project gotham w (same as halo 2)
*Shenume 2 (exclusive in the states, if you don't count DC...)
WWE Raw 2
NFL Fever 2003 (online)
*Star Wars: KOTOR (exclusive for xbox and pc; online)
Toe Jam and earl 3
DOA Volleyball
Fable (was project ego before)

These are just ones off the top of my head. the ones with *'s are ones that can prolly be considered 'non-exclusive'. Now Im sure after hitting the post button everyone will say 'oh, those games don't interest me'. well thats fine, you don't have a box anyways if you are saying that. But just because most of the people here chose to buy a PS2 and not a box doesn't mean the box is doomed to failure. There are not even 400 people in this forum, not what I would call a 'huge demographic'

Also I am not saying that PS2 has no games, I wish I could get my hands on Shinobi and SOCON... Guess I will just have to buy a ps2, play a friends or do without when the time comes. Oh, and I don't think DOA3 is a must have game. Pretty? Yes. Fun? Could be better... The box community is waiting for Soul Caliber 2 like pretty much the rest of the gaming community.

Pimp_Daddy is totally right though, the microsoft machine wont let this die. Few seem to grasp their master plan, but here it is: to take over your house. No joke. They are in the computer room, next aquisition is the living room. And the xbox is the key. Do you realize that microsoft just announced there is going to be an accessory that links your box up to your pc from the living room and lets you play mpgs, mp3s and any other sort of multimedia file through your home entertainment center? I think thats tight as hell, and yet another selling point for the box. I'll definately pick it up.

Xbox isn't going to kill Playstation and microsoft knows it, but MS is going to fight to the death to keep the box in peoples living rooms and if we've learned one thing about bill gates, its definately that he gets his way...
