Hmm.. an XBox but more powerful. For an extra £20 it comes with a car battery you need to run the bastard.

Seems that now Microsoft have had their "pilot console" which, as unpopular as it may be to say did carry substandard hardware compared to its competititors - has been sucessful.

The spec of that machine officially makes it a "beast" in my book.

What they did with a Geforce 4 with xbox is impressive , especially Soul Calibur - but my god 3 3.2 ghz custom made cpus? and what I suspect is an X800 series ATi graphics core is just amazing.

I now have an Xbox. I've owned all 3 of the consoles (GC twice) and the only one that was crap was PS2. It was old hat by the time the others came out and the games have always been average to say the least. It does help that my XBox is chipped

before xbox release, pro evolution soccer (any version, they're all good) made the ps2 worth having.

was going to get an xbox for going ot uni, now i'm going to save (for ages, and get this when its released.
