Buying an XBOX

[JeefGyle]

I am buying an XBOX with 1 controller(original size), Hitman 2, and Two Towers from a kid I know for $150. What do you think?

At least get Halo. No XBox gamer is complete without a copy of Halo.

You could get a new XBox with a better controller and JSRF for $150. Don't get it from the kid.

Old XBoxes had a problem with their lasers wearing down.

he has had his xbox for about 6 mos. so I dont think the laser is a problem, I dont want JSRF, and the Jap controllers suck!

I will buy Halo for it definitely, right now that's the main reason to own an XBOX... DUH!

The smaller controllers are so much better.

I still don't get why you'd want to buy anything used for equal price to retail. Fuck, I'll sell you my box for $150.

I only bought my xbox for Capcom Vs SNK 2 EO

Even if it's only 6 months old, you'd be better possibly spending a big more on a new one and a game better than the two towers. The two towers sucks ass to own if you're someone who plays their games more than a few times.

Im only getting an xbox for online play, dvds and custom soundtrack. None of the games truly amaze me, capcom vs eox will be tight online though

I don't think the big controller is that bad. It's probably because I'm used to it though. I love the small one, but I get ruined in Halo when I use it.

And yes... get a new one. If the drive gets fucked - like Chojin mentioned - it's not going to be under warranty.

Edit: At least that's how it is here (Ontario) at EB. My friend purchased one of the older models that was prone to fucking, and after 3 months MS wouldn't service it for free. :/

Edit 2: I like my edits in italics.

I kinda want an x-box and get a mod chip and put a new dvd drive so i can play copies...but I dont think I would play it enough :/

But I do like how you can use alot of regular pc parts like hard drives and dvd drives in the x-box.

XBox is $200 with JSRF and Sega GT, I dont want JSRF cuz I hate it, Sega GT looks good, but if it sucks, I won't get shit for it or JSRF on a trade in cuz so many people have them due to the bundle...

Hitman 2 is a good game, and still $50 if I remember correctly...

I can play Two Towers once through, and if I dont want it, trade it in for more than I'd get for JSRF or Sega GT...

It's 6 mos old, most likely you guys have had ur Xboxs for longer than 6 mos...

I hate JAP controllers!!!

Box was $150 around Christmas. Don't see why it'd be more now.. :/

The guy I played with at Katsucon said the same thing. :/

[JeefGyle]

Right now Funcoland is selling used Xbox's for $150 with one controller, and no game. There is no way that a new JSRF bundle is $150...

Plus, I'm getting this kids Xbox for $125 instead of $150 now

[BlueOatmeal]

The big xbox controllers will take a little bit to get use to, even more so if you have little girly hands like mine. When I got my X-Box I played Amped like all day long and ended up with a very horrid pain staring from my wrist all the way to the bend of the arm.

Godammit that hurt but it didnt dtop me from enjoying my New X-Box and wacking off every night before bed time. Although the "session" was broken into many little parts.

I wants me an xbox, so I can kick ass at CVS SE, and Fable may kick ass once its out...

[EatTheChildren]

I got an Xbox and a Gamecube for Christmas. Since then I've used my Xbox maybe 4 hours and my GC for about 200. There are barely any games I want, and whevener one comes out there is one for PS2 or GC I want more. I suggest waiting until Xbox has a lot more games and is a lot cheaper. It isn't worth it yet.

[HickMan]

I have an XBOX. Really good system now with fable, Brute force, Halo 2, Perfect Dark 2, and Conker's bad fur day 2 comming out.

I really liked halo but it really is over rated. The story really sucked.
The best part was the multi-player.
