Xbox still worth it ?

I say go for it.

Do you really want to wait almost 2 years for an xbox2?
Do you want to pay the $300 for it when it comes out? (I'm guessing at the price)
Do you want to be able to mod it? Who knows when/if the xbox2 will have a mod chip.
 
Heh well I plan on getting the PS2 only to complete my set. I have the XBox and the GameCube and both are good platforms. The XBox is definitely a good buy for the money especially with all of the mods that you can do for it. Super easy to turn it into a media center for cheap.
 
depends. if you like racing games, xbox is where it is at. xbox live is becoming a big deal now that tons of games support it.
 
dunno, was watching e3 xbox vid and the guy tatooed the halo 2 release date on his arm... nov 2004 i think. ultimate dead or alive looks kewl too🙂
 
Halo 2 is a good reason to get an Xbox alone, theres also Doom 3 🙂

Edit: doom3 will of course look far beter on a powerful PC.
 
I already have a good gaming PC, so if I get a console it will probably be a PS2. There a lot more PS2 and PSX games that look fun to play than Xbox games.

For me the only must-have Xbox game is SW:KOTOR and there's a perfectly good PC version. With UT2K4 who needs Halo multiplayer?

Edit: anyone else trying to decide PS2 vs. Xbox should do what I did, consider the games you'd want to play rather than the specs. So what if the Xbox is twice as powerful as the PS2 -- my PC is 4 times as powerful as the Xbox.

The Xbox version will support online co-op play. 🙂


But yeah, I can't even count how many hours of entertainment the Xbox has provided me with. 🙂
 
Xbox is worth it for the online play as well. I have all 3 consoles and use Xbox the most, mostly due to the online component.
 
I have both Xbox and Gamecube, and after seeing what happened at this year's E3...I would have to say that Gamecube is more worth it. Don't get me wrong, Halo 2 and Fable look awesome, but Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Zelda, Resident Evil 4, and Donkey Kong Jungle Beat look absolutely mind-blowing.
 
Well the ones they're offering for the DewU promotions have already sold out, so they still must be popular (have to get 550 points for those)... so people are really trying lol...
