    30 Minutes to Call Newegg

    POLL: Xbox opinions

    << I won't buy one at the current price. Once the price goes down a little, I'd buy it just for Halo. I've had SO much fun playing that on a friend's. >> My roommate has an Xbox. So far the best game by far is EA's NHL2002. I was somewhat disappointed with Halo. At times it was really...
