X-Box price lowered
 
that's right folks, now only one easy payment of $149!

Alla youse who wouldn't buy one because it was too expensive have no excuse now. Except those of us without $149 to spare. Like me.

Bought mine when it was $300. I'm an idiot. :lol:

I bought mine for close to $500 Cdn. Now the fracking thing doesn't even work! Maybe now I can afford to buy a new one.

Dr. Doom 03-29-2004 11:04 AM

speaking of which, I hafta buy a new PS2 before I can buy an X-Box. Mine stopped working after 2 years like everyone else's. Lousy Sony.....

Yeah, I tend to stay away from Sorny, I go for Panaphonics.

Peanut 03-29-2004 11:10 AM

My PS2 still works but it reads discs a lot slower now. The only thing it did was eat my NHL 2002 game for some odd reason. My Gamecube also stopped reading discs but luckily it was within the first year and I had warranty on it so they just gave me a new one.

My PS2 stopped reading CDs/DVDs after 2 years, then I tried to fix it by switching the lenses, but I broke some thing off a circuit board. I trashed it (Office Space style) and bought a new one.

Bry 03-29-2004 11:17 AM

Weird. I've heard a lot about PS2s' CD/DVD drives not working after a few years, and some even breaking outright. I've had mine since launch, and it still works perfectly. Odd. :|

And the only way I'm getting an Xbox is if someone gives me it for free. :wink:

Barkworm 03-29-2004 12:31 PM

I'd really get one but there's still not one exclusive game I'm interested in. Maybe when there are more Rareware games released on it. :|

I'll get an xbox when they put out a streamlined version. I only have a 2-car garage.

Raven 03-29-2004 01:16 PM

:lol: I actually find it funny that they have a "do not drop on feet" warning in the manual!

lmao

I enjoy video games like any other, but I'm not as big into them as I used to be. The only system out there right now I'd possibly be interested in getting is a PS2 because I always had the mindset it had the coolest action games. I know I'm probably out of the loop...have been from the beginning.

The only game I'm familiar with for the X-Box that interests me would be Halo and I see no reason to get one for just that game. I could just wait until the PC version goes down and get it if I need it. I guess my life has just kinda shut out video games for a time, I rarely play anything anymore. I used to constantly be playing something on Sega or PC...

Dr. Doom 03-29-2004 04:56 PM

I've heard that the PC version is complete ****, suprisingly.

X Boxes are bullet proof, too. Believe it or not.

Dr. Doom 03-29-2004 06:00 PM

I find that to be very believable, actually.

I'm a huge PC FPS fanboy, and yes, the PC Halo is complete ****... No matter what system you're running it on.

Kid Icarus 03-29-2004 06:05 PM

Meh, I won't buy one, I've already got a PC, thank you very much ;).

And no offense to any X-Box fanboys, but I really don't see any games on it that I'd like much other than Ninja Gaiden. And don't wait for Rare games... they went down the crapper after Banjo-Kazooie. Most all of the talent left the studio and went on to other places (like Free Radical ;) ).

That would be what Bill Gates got from selling his soul to Satan.
