    Xbox is by far the greatest deal out there, plenty of different things you can do with it too. Just check out xbox-scene.com and ul understand. :lol:

    Ok, how does this sound for price (and games!)

    Xbox with s-type controller
    extra s-type controller
    Halo
    Midtown Madness 3
    Crash Bandicoot: the wrath of cortex
    Timesplitters 2
    Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
    Project Gotham Racing 2

    = £221.96


    I have little hands, so I think the newer controllers are a lot better :)

    if u bought it all seperatly you would be spending a goo £300 so the price sounds very good

    can you change the games at all tho?

    i dont htink you would be playing crash much

    or midtown madness 3, specially with pgr2 :D

    The pack (from Game :eek:) is the Xbox plus the first 4 games.
    They have a few different combinations, although that one looked the most likely. Played the origional Crash years ago, albeit briefly, so thought I would probably enjoy it.

    PGR2 is the boyfriends influence ("I'll give you money if you get games I'll play..."), but you're probably right with midtown madness.

    Are there any cheapish games that they would throw in with this sort of deal that you would go for/advise strongly against? Bearing in mind the girly games bit (max payne kinda thing ;))

    Xbox is great. when I told my wife that I wanted one, she said she wanted a PS2. So I got her one and then got the xbox a few weeks later. She started playing the xbox, and she is not really a gamer. She even admits the PS2 sucks. So she sold it.

    Price wise the best deal imho is the GAME pack with PGR2 and Halo for £139.

    Also with the trial membership of Live, do what I did, buy the Live pack, enter the trial details first, THEN add your own new 1yr subscription. Woo 14months of fun!

    PGR2 online is defo one of the best things I have ever played on a console or on the internet. I think the single player mode gets an unfair slagging. Sure the AI is fiendish at times, but I find it extremely addictive. Also you'd be on all year earning enough online Kudos to buy a good range of cars.

    Me thinks GT4 will look a little passe compared with PGR2 considering it limited and expensive online option.

    Mmmmm... PGR2. I really suck since I haven't played racing games before but it's sooo much fun!!!
    Onto Sports Utility now - racing round Edinburgh rocks, see all the shops, they even have La Senza! :D


    I'm not sure about the Live thing. Didn't get a trial pack with my xbox :( I think I'll wait until I'm settled in my flat since I'm moving in soon, then let the boyfriend spend £30 on the starters pack :D

    I bought an Xbox expecting to use it. Instead I just let my ex-girlfriend's brother play it. I always use the computer ;) .

    Actually, I kinda like the game (as the game, not as a perv).... nice relaxed sort of game, the mini games are pretty cool too.

    xbox rules ;)

    especially mine :D


    think the only game i havent got atm that i want is top spin.

    PGR 2 is awesome! Some of the cars in it are insane. Especially driving around the harder tracks in some of the more scary cars. AC Cobra rocks for feeling out of control.... + the noble M12 is simply cool :jawdrop: me wants
