I feel bad spending so much money.

But I will probably get an X.  The games look awesome and unless something goes horribly wrong at launch I will probably go get one.

I am going to reserve one just in case. If they don\'t impress me at E3 the money I have towards it is going to GC and PS2.

I\'ll wait till E3 also. The games they have shown right now don\'t interest me. They don\'t look bad, they just don\'t make me want to buy the box. Once more games that intrigue me are shown, I\'ll consider one.

Doesn\'t impress me, so I\'m taking the wait and see approach.  Halo might not even have an online element (not to mention I don\'t have BB.  Thanks for alienating the narrowband people MS.)  The SEGA titles did make me more interested in XBox, but now after the recent SEGA announcement, I\'m really not as enthusiastic.
It seems as if the people [casual gamers] that we consider to know absolutely nothing are the ones that actually know the most important thing: Name brands don\'t make the console, games do.

I\'m taking the wait and see approach as well. I\'ll probably decide at E3 whether or not I\'ll get one at launch. If all else fails, I\'ll probably still get one a year or so after the console\'s release.

I dunno, I\'ll see how things go.

I\'ve pre-ordered one, but I don\'t think I\'ll be picking one up at launch



I\'ll probably wait for a price drop on Xbox. I\'ll have a tough time getting my moneys worth outta 2 consoles.

Thats true if both consoles suck. But lately I have been so bored with ps2 not enough multiple player games that are any good. And not enough good games lately. I have a lot of ppl over playing games and we always need more than one system or it just gets boring unless the game is so awesome you can\'t stop playing and I don\'t think that is going to happen anytime soon.

I\'ll wait and see thank you very much.
Not saying it will be bad,but just to see if there\'s anything that I want.Maybe I\'ll get a GC instead and maybe I\'ll get neither.Who knows? Do you?

i\'ll never get an XBox, I hate my damn computer because of crappy windows, so im not going to support microsoft anymore even though the xbox will be completly different. I might end up getting a gamecube though. I would like to play Zelda and the new Metroid (FPS!!!), only time will tell I guess..........never a XBox though

2 good reasons why x box will have trouble:
1.gamecube is coming out the same time,  anly cheaper, and people recognise nintendo with gaming more than microsoft.
this is true, but mabye it wont happen, although i do know there are many microsoft haters out there

I haven\'t made up my mind yet, but some of the games look real good to me, like fun, as in some games that are lacking on a certain system i just bought (*ahem* SONY).

Anyway, the new BloodWake game looks absolutely terrific.  Check it at IGN.  I\'m too lazy to post a link.  It\'s a cross between boats and Twisted Metal.

i already have a REAL PC..;)
. I\'ve said it before and I\'ll say it again, in terms of ingenuity, exclusivity, and console competition, X-Box brings nothing to the table except a fat wad of cash and some rehashed PC components wrapped with a DC controller and a plastic black box.----RYU

I don\'t know, we really don\'t know what\'s in store for the Xbox aside from supposed plans and speculation. I\'m sure in the end that it will be able to stand on it\'s own merits and be a very good console for whoever owns it, just like every other console out there. I\'m not planning on buying one right now, but you never know what the future holds.

IMO, to hell with userbase/graphics/profit, as long as it has innovative and fun games on it, it\'ll be a success.

Personally, I am content with just a DC, N64, and PSOne.  

To XBOX:  Since PS2 doesn\'t have that many good multiplayer games, then why don\'t you get an N64 or DC?  Although the PSOne was the overall better choice, the N64 was the best as far as multiplayer gaming.
