Arn`t Dixons running 10% off at the moment? That will bring the price down to about £180. This should belong in the consoles forum tho.

toys r us have the best package you get 3 games console £250 i have an xbox you cant beat em dvd playback if very crisp as well just a shame you have to fork out £30 for a dvdremote kit but the power of the cpu and graphics chip work well together

The x-box is more pc based better of getting a game cube

Agree big time.. Some of the games coming out for it look stunning! There`s only one console you can play Mario, Zelda, Metroid, StarFox etc. on.. Who remembers Metroid for SNES??.....wow.

Don`t forget to get floor/shelf reinforced to take the weight. Maybe an alcove extension to fit it in to.. Hand enlargements to hold the controller. Cube controller feels perfect you forget you`re holding it... Only joking, XBOX got some good games, Halo etc. but the lure of the 1st and 2nd party games (plus 3rd now at last..) was too much. Is there a specific reason you want an x-box? Mate`s got one etc??.. If not, then for what it`s worth, get a cube. Super Monkey Ball anyone? Still can`t do level 7 on Expert! So, bugs, what games have you got??

Got an Xbox and Gamecube.
X-Box has done nothing for me, except to gather dust. HALO Over-rated piece of crap! Talk about bland!
Ive got the 2 free games and Joypad, and they have been played once, never again! Rubbish!
