Lee - Take a look at this site if you are bored

http://www.redvsblue.com/home.php

Very funny clips of taking Halo scenes and making a soap opera Very clever. If you have Kazaa or something similar, download the episodes. I have 1 - 20 so far.

There are also loads of different chips available, but some are obviosly a lot better then others, before you get one make sure it is compatible with your xbox version (use serial number to find this) then get it installed. This is easy as long ass you have the right tools and very small fingers

We've got four in the office for some reason, all with steering wheels and connected to the xbox-live network.

I payed Ł150 for mine, pre chipped with xecutor2 chip. thousands of games pre installed on emulators for SNES, Megadrive, N64, Arcade machines


I also have a mate at work who downloads the games from Bit-torrent and does me a copy for a blank DVD .

He has just got a very cool game not released until NOV 11th should be getting a copy on Monday


Basically just GET ONE

LOL @ Pentium 3 light years ahead of what the PS2 has. Fully 128bit CPU vs old shonky 32bit Pentium. Only advantages XBOX has is the GFX chip nvidia made and the larger memory...thats why GTA dosn't need loading screens.

HALO is one of the most overated games i've ever ever played, as a single player game its mediorce at best and as multiplayer its only got 2 half decent maps!

Played far far better FPS even before HALO was released.

Dosn't matter anyways, Sony have walked this console war AGAIN.

ADUSR32 - Maybe it is just my opinion, but i tend to think that all XBOX owners just say its awesome because at the time of release they had no decent games at all and it was so hyped up that everyone would just end up saying it was quality even if it was crap

Do you lot HONESTLY think its that good? I've got it on the PC and to be fair, its fucking shite.
