    Is Anyone Pre-Ordering An X-Box ??

    I'm just interested in seeing how many of your are pre-ordering the X-Box. I see that a couple of places are now taking pre-orders on them. I just went out and pre-ordered mine from EBGames.com. The thing that sucks about that is that they force you to buy a bundle pack, so you have to select between their packages, which aren't bad, but I'd like to pick out the games that I get.

    I've signed up on Amazon's site for when they start taking orders to see if they'll sell them separately. I know that another place is also selling the X-Box in bundles, that's lame.

    Oh well, I just wanted to know if anyone else is fired up about the X-Box. I can't wait for "WWF Raw Is War" to come out, that looks fucking excellent.

        Ha ha ha, that's funny. You're right, you might think that an X-Box is a box of porn, he he he.

        Actually, for those that don't know, here's what it is here http://www.xbox.com/hardware/consoles/xbox.htm

        Lane, ha ha ha, gaming is a habit that's hard to break. I know that running a few sites does take a lot of time, but since I'm a full time webmaster, I can find time, he he he.

          WOW, I just checked around at Amazon.com and they've already taken their pre-orders and had a cutoff, Chips & Bits did the same. EBGames.com still has some for pre-order, but they've already sold out of one or two of their bundles. If you want it, you'd better order it.

          Last year when the PS2 came out, I thought that I'd pass on it and not pre-order it, then once it came out, I was dying for one, he he he. This year, it's not gonna happen, ha ha ha.

          Yeah, I'm a gamer, and PROUD of it !!!

                    X-box is going to be another 3DO or another Atari Jaguar, hot garbage.

                    I'll stick to my PS2, GT3 owns

                        The X-Box sells for $299. HOWEVER, most of the places online are selling bundles, which cost $499 which contain 3 games and an extra controller. Stores should have them individually.

                        I think that the system is gonna kick some ass. It's gonna be the most powerful system out there, blowing away the Nintendo Gamecube.

                        The thing is that Bill Gates has his money behind it, so I'm sure that he's not gonna let it fail. If you look at all of the companies that are gonna be making games for it, Sega, EA, Eidos, Midway, Lucas Arts, Activision, Konami, Microsoft (of course, he he), Acclaim, plus a few more. They got MOST of the major designers working for them. Sega is a BIG card for them, Sega is gonna be making some games for other systems, but they're mainly in the X-Box's bullpen and we all know that there's alot of Sega fans out there, I'm a big Sega fan myself, I bought everything that they put out.

                        Ok, and lastly, one more reason why the X-Box is gonna rule, Nintendo disappoints people. Look at the N-64, that system pissed off many people, expensive cartridges, lack of quality games, too many "kiddy games". The Playstation blew it out of the water. Sure, mommy and daddy will buy a Nintendo Gamecube for their kids, but the younger/middle aged male is gonna want an X-Box.

                        -----------------------
                        ALSO, the X-box is like a cheap computer. $299 will get you this -

                        Four game controller ports that allow easy multiplayer gaming and enable other peripherals, ranging from game pads to voice-activated headsets.

                        A front-loading DVD tray A multisignal audio-video connector that allows for easy
                        hookup to televisions and home theater systems.

                        An Ethernet port for rich, fast-action online gaming via a broadband connection

                        An NVIDIA graphics processing unit (GPU), delivering more than three times the graphics performance of other consoles.

                        An Intel 733MHz processor, the most powerful CPU of any console.

                        An internal hard drive, for massive storage of game information - a first in the console gaming industry.

                        64 Megs of ram.
                        ----------------------------

                        So, you go out and build a computer like that for $299 and see what you come up with, he he he.

                        DarkJedi, you ask, "Why bother with consoles ?" I'll admit that the PC games do have the best graphics out there and I LOVE pc games. HOWEVER, nothing beats playing a sports or fighting game on a console system. PLUS RPG's a much different on consoles, so I have to have the best of both worlds, he he he.

                            I'm in the same boat man, I work till my eyes bleed then play games for 4 hours. Non-addicts just can't understand.
