Well, after much contemplation for the past week, I decided that it was time to treat myself to a big gift. I knew that I'd eventually get an XBOX, but I just wasn't sure when. After finanicl circumstances changed to where I wouldn't be going to Cali, I figured it was time for Plan B.

I picked one up Friday after work at my local GameCrazy, and promised myself that I wouldn't open it until Saturday night, since I'm off Sunday. 9:00 pm rolled around and so it was time to fire up the Green Machine. I lead off the night with Panzer Dragoon Orta (another promise to myself), followed by the Outrun 2 demo disc.

After about an hour or so of playing, I called it quits and continued this morning with more PDO action, followed by Max Payne 2. I always prefered MP2's main character design more than MP1's. He has that 90s Al Pacino worn look that used to be a Hollywood staple back in the day.

At this point it dawnwd on me how much the X Box is the spiritual little brother to Sega's Dreamcast (which I own). both systems have a vibrant picture quality about them, and just feel so smooth to me. There's other games still waiting in the wings, but I don't want to rush things. I'm an artistic, visual person, so I like to savor graphic design before moving on.

And don't worry fellow Nintendites; the little black Cube is still close at hand I'm just really happy that I finally bit the bullet and bought this amazing sytem during my 2 week vacation

Why do you throw yourself out there like this?

 

[SHOCKIE]

 

[monkeyrun]

[Wario64]

[open_mouth_]

WWW.TEAMXBOX.COM

ROK!

 

[COCKLES]

Damn! that's my job cheeky young Junior! :lol

On Xbox releated note I tried to buy another one over the weekend...Crystal Badboy to get back into Xbox Live...but competely sold out in London.

 

[Drinky Crow]

What's an Xbox? Is that the follow up to the XDUDE?

 

[Koshiro]

They're sold out all over UK, only black ones are kicking around now, which are also in limited supply apparently. A GameCube it is then?

 

[Bog]

Yeah, what's an Xbox? I only know of the Xdude.

But still, why do people make these threads thinking we give a shit?

For security purpose. "I hope I made the right decision!!"

You give a shit Bog, because you POSTED IN THE THREAD!! :lol
No, seriously, I made this thread because I was excited about finally getting one after waiting so long. The $150.00 mark was the price for my Genesis, and GCN as well.

This was just my way of showing Gamers that's it's about the GAMES, not the system. I just didn't want to use a boring ass headline like " I got an XBOX, yayy...."

Also, someone asked who I was. I used to be Kcerrid 29 before the boards were updated. Don't worry guys, I'm a vet here dating back to '99. I just don't post as often as I used to, hence the Junior tag.

 

[Mrbob]

Buy Ninja Gaiden.

I thought you said you bought an Xbox, not a PS2.

 

[Wario64]

I thought it was about being a graphics whore

Have you ever been laid?

 

[Kcerrid 31]

Buy Ninja Gaiden.

I'm glad you brought this game up. I actually got it through that Blockbuster Video "trade in 3 games, get one for $10.00" deal on Thursday. I haven't fired it up just yet (again, I want to stretch out the goodness for the next 2 weeks).

Also, what the the fuck doese getting laid have to do with with being happy about a new purchase?! When your mom buys you a christmas gift does she say "you know, I'm only getting you this because you can't get laid, son" ? The XBox turned out to be better than I'd thought it would be, so I thought I'd share it here with you guys.

Damn, I'm glad I'm simply a Game Fan and not some corperate whore who doesn't get a fucking dime, no matter how strong his allegience to a company is.

 

[mumu]

Why would you do such a thing?

 

[bitwise]

xbox + gc is the best combination right now

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

I agree.

 

[Aika'svyse]

Yep PDO is an amazing game You might want to try JSRF and Morrowind.

welcome to the family little sister. Now go make me some toast. mmm. You've made a good choice. Sure with the xbox but also with the toast. mmm

 

[Kcerrid 31]

Why would you do such a thing?

Believe me, I kept my eyes on the sky anticipating the inevitable lightening strike on the way home, but fortunately, it never came :lol

Besides, souls are overrated anyway. At least, that's what Mr. Gates told me

I really don't understand why people think others care. Unless you're switching and your name happens to be Gahiggidy or COCKLES, don't make this thread.
