What did you think of it? I personally disliked it.... alot. But thats me.

Of course bill gates learnt many lessons from that and built a superior console compared (imo)

what did you guys think?

I had one, thought it was brilliant. Was never into playstations so had N64 instead of PS1, Xbox instead of PS2 etc. Online play was decent, graphics were decent. Thought it was good in general.

I've got one. Came with Sega GT and Jet Set Radio. Paid £160 I think.

Didn't look as good as the PS, Sega GT was far too hard and was no where no as good as Gran Turismo, cars handled a bit shit! Project Gotham Racing was ok. I bought Doom 3 when it came out, played it a couple of times then gave up, was nothing like the original.

Still looks brand new, including the box.

I had 1 + in the end it took over from the PS2. The only reason I kept the PS2 was for the GTA games

i got one after my ps2 died on me, got it when they had been out for a while so there was some decent games out for it then. i was massively impressed with forza 1 and splinter cell :chaos theory was by far the best graphics i had ever seen from the ps2, xbox and gamecube, fantastic game aswell.

though i will say i thought halo 2 was a huge pile of crap and im not that excited about halo 3

I bought 1, loved it. Had much more fun with the xBox compared to my 360.

Used to play Rainbow Six 3 online, best FPS i've played online on a console.

Same here, the new media centre is brilliant, you can even use it as a pvr if you own a dbox cable reciever!

I had one, after my PS2, bought it for Forza, sold it and bought a PS2, which I sold for a 360, which I sold and bought another PS2

It was a good console IMO, I jsut get bored easily.

i bought one and had it for about 2 months and mustve used it about half a dozen times

wasnt a patch on the ps2 imo but purely because it didnt have the software support. i could never get on with the beast of the controller either, reminded me of the atari jaguar controller

all in all i reckon ms got it so wrong with the original xbox

with the 360 tho they seem to have got everything right
