Would you buy an Xbox........
« on: May 25, 2001, 01:42:21 PM »
In a recent poll in Electronic Game Monthly there was a poll for us gamers.
Would you buy an Xbox if it costs more than $300?
Here\'s the results:
I don\'t plan on buying an Xbox 48%
Yes 13%
No 13%
I don\'t know 10%
So would you buy one if it costs more than $300?

No, why buy one when you have a PS2?

Okay, that is just one of the dumbest remarks made on this board.
July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

The only thing holding me back from buying an X-Box is my wife\'s notorious cheapness.  She probably won\'t even let me buy a Dreamcast in 2 years when its going at Funcoland for 45 bucks.

She almost stopped me from buying my Saturn, but I outsmarted her; I just bought it when she wasn\'t around! :D

Anywho, I digress...

If I could buy one, I would.  In a heartbeat.

I dunno.  Your reply is right up there with it....

I don\'t see why you\'d want both systems either.  Even if you think it will be better, is it really better enough to buy a whole new system.  I have quite a bit of extra money in my life, but I certainly don\'t need two comparable systems either.

Oh, and Jergins...  You got a peepee?  Sounds like your wife has the penis in the family.  I say buy the machine and nut up.  Tell your wife,

"You got a problem with this?"

"You got a problem."

"Go make me pot-pie!!!"

I wouldn\'t. For more than $300, no thanks. Hell, I\'m not sure I\'m gonna get it @ $300.

I don\'t need an Xbox, nor do I want one.  I don\'t care what the price is / should be.

But I\'ve got to say, that poll from EGM looks like it\'s gonna hurt Microsoft.

No.

You tell her. :D

Besides, I don\'t like pot-pies.

No.. at least.. not right away and certainly not at $300.

The console is alright looking, The games look great and fun with many I\'d like to try... I really can only afford to support two consoles in this generation. In fact, I\'m really debating on weither or not to buy a PS2 unless the price drop is $100 and not the much more likely $50 drop. There\'s a LOT of games on it I can\'t wait to get my hands on.. much more than Xbox at this point. Plus I\'ve got all those Dreamcast games to catch up on.

Even beyond that though, is time constraints. Two new games from either the PS2 or DC is just about all the new games I can handle. Between work, My regular life, Sleep, and all those old games I\'m buying dirt cheap + Downloaded Roms and Abandonware.. I\'m swamped with games. Right now, I have more games on my computer than I could finish in a year. And I still haven\'t gotten around to playing even a fraction of them for more than a few minuites.

Given a few years time for pricedrops and an expanded library.. I probably will pick up a second hand Xbox and a few titles. I just don\'t see any incentive to buy the Xbox right away. Aside from graphics, it really can\'t offer me anything substancial that I won\'t be able to get somewhere else.

Then again, graphics don\'t mean crap to me. They\'re nice and all.. but on average I play far more EGA and 16 bit games than I do next-gen or current gen titles.

Comparable? So what??? How??? Are you trying to say X-Box will have the same exact games as PS2? Or you\'re under some delusional fantasy that they\'re both equal in power?

It could be said 4/5 of PS2\'s games will be on XB, so why not ditch PS2 and go with the more powerful system. Just playing devils advocate.
