Hey people im thinking about buying it with the money i wil probabely receive in christmas do you think its right? Xbox is kinda outdated already but its better than PS2..

And now with HAlo2.. PS2 has no chance.. lol

Do you think its the right thing to do?

Price with 2 controllers and all crystal (much more beautiful ):

~€200 it is +/- the same in dollars..

Tell me what ya think about it... i heard xbox has a lot of possibilities its like a computer, in fact u can even install software like mp3 reader, windowx xp.. and other software.. so i think its cool...

So if u can install windows u can also install pc games isnt that right?

To install windows you have to hack the xbox, voiding the warranty. If you install windows, you will essentially get a low-end computer, but you need to also install a mouse+keyboard port. If you want a gamming system I suggest you get it and leave it be (no hacking ).

The crystal Xbox bundle is a good deal if you like the games it has.

Yeah i wasnt thinking about windows..

Sort of.
There's a $60 USD YEARLY fee for Xbox LIVE, and you need a Credit Card # for 'age verfication' to get on, but the LIVE service is MUCH better than PS2 online. Almost every game supports voice chat (instant) and games are 99% lagless. Services are a lot more ellaborate so they have to charge money to survive

200 Euro is a rip-off

I got my xbox new for $130 CDN about 147.18 Euro, it came with halo and amped (2 or 3 years ago), plus halo 2 limited edition for $75 CDN or 47.99 Euro, for a grand total of 195.97 Euro, now the halo 2 was bought just now and the system package like I said was bought a 2 or 3 years ago, xbox (with amped and top-spin) is now $219.99 CDN or 140.78 Euros here added to make a grand total of 188.77 Euros thats 2 games more and 11.33 Euros less. And it probably comes with the regular edition $60 CDN, 38.40 Euro, 179.18- grand Euro total to bring us to a savings of 20.18 Euros

Rip-off.

Bah i quit xbox..
Im gonna use the money for something more useful then.. like.. hum...let me see...idk..

Buy a xbox with Halo 2 definitely, if its costs €200 then its because its limited edition, limited editions will always cost more, XBOX crystal look good, but are no different, so why not just buy a normal xbox cheaper? Its up to you, but it would be a good decision to buy a xbox.. you won't regret it , and I'm not just saying that because I have one, its merely the most powerful console around, most of its games are awesome, they load faster, and they have amazing graphics...

You don't have to pay for the first twelve months, after that its something like €40 a year, good thing is though, sometimes you buy some games that come with a free subscription for say 3 months, so far, I've had:

Halo 2: 3 months free
Demo Disc: 2 Months Free
XBOX Live: 12 Months free...

Its good stuff that you find around
