    What an original question.

    Sorry, did I say original? I meant pointless, entirely subjective, done-to-death, unanswerable, stupid question.

    well sorry nikkie whats your face!!!

    im not into gaming that much....used to be into games years ago but got bored of them big time but the only thing making me interested in them again is the functionality of online gaming without having to boot up a pc each time...


    sorry to insult your limited intelligence boyo!!!

    If your going for online-gaming, Xbox really is the way to go. The €209 bundle features two free months of Xbox LIVE aswell as Midtown Madness 3, so you're ready to go almost instantly.

    just wonderin though will there be lash of good live games in the pipeline and also any classics like tekken etc ??? i.e. pointless on your own but great craic when playin against someone else..

    the online aspect really looks appealing!!

    I'd recommend Xbox LIVE. Its alot better service then sony's plus there are some great games coming out on it like Rainbow Six: 3, Top Spin, Project Gotham Racing 2 and Counter Strike.

    There is also Capom Vrs Snk 2 on it which is like street fighter 2 online, and there is going to be a Dead or Alive online game aswell.

    Plus the hard drive allows for some great features that are not available on the sony online system, like downloading maps and the prospect that value will make custom made maps available fro download.

    just go to playstation and xbox sites and see which suit you the most.

    I assume that this is in the US only and not much good to most people without modded consoles...

    Thanks for that monument. Only 29 days to go then... I hope the game lives up to the hype...

    I see Top Spin, the tennis game is out tomorrow and is getting ecstatic reviews... I think it will keep me going until GTA...

    Did that not happen when they were released on the pc? ;)

    NO! It will happen when PES3 is released on the pc though! Then the only console worth having will be a cube :)

    i can't see how they can **** them up tbh, just a straight port of the pc versions with some fancy new fire effects.
    afaik you can't buy the games seperately, just as a double pack...
