I went and ordered an XBox! I know Bill Gates needs the money, so I figured what the heck. If anybody is itching for one, go to www.gamespot.com and look under XBox, KBToys is a prime place to go for the packages. Sorry, forget buying the system only, you likely won't find one, unless you just hit it lucky at Walmart or such.

READ ABOUT IT HEAR
Seriously, some good times my daughter and I have had around systems dating back to the original Nintendo, a Sega 16 bit, a Nintendo 64, a Playstation. Well, my daughter is 16, and I know the opportunities to see that Christmas morning joy with new toys is fading. Ok, it's already past the little kid stuff. But I can still create a little glimmer in her eye, put a little fun in the day, the week, and maybe beyond. We need something to pull us a little closer, as sometimes, we seem to drift off doing our separate things, me my business, her her friends, part time job and of course, the phone, lol.
So, I ordered an Xbox with 3 games included, Halo, Gotham City Racing, and Dead or Alive.
I picked up an S-video converter. I need one of those, right? Also, tried to get a Memory card, but they were out of those, might order one online, or pick one up another place.
Here's the titles I picked up, keeping in mind, I just chose to charge several, then decide which to keep. Also, already get 3 titles above and an extra controller with the system.
1. Madden 2002 (for me)
2. Star Wars Starfighter (both)
3. Transworld Surf (her in mind)
4. Amped Freestyle Snowboarding (again her)
5. Mad Dash Racing, (her)
I spent a small fortune here, but I really just don't care. As I said, my mission has a purpose, and not all of it is selfish thinking of me. Sure, we might have more fun with a PS2 extending on our current platform at first. But I did some looking at the graphics produced by both, and that edge smoothing thing can be significant depending on the title. So, I figure why buy a backwards system, when just guessing, XBox will be the empedus to push Sony to PS3. So, wait until Sony raises the bar, then maybe jump back to PS. Technology changes to fast to buy a system that is behind the competition from the start.
Besides, we did Mario, we did some good PS1 titles, now maybe it is time for something entirely new. PLEASE, your title help would be appreciated. I can take back any of the above, but I need to shop fast to find the titles I want.
