Is the Xbox worth buying?

Yes, it's been out for a while, but I haven't been reading many positive reviews on it. I'll admit, the games look cool, but they're too many buttons you have to push.

Don't diss the X-Box! I have one with 3 games and the system is pretty good.Just because it is made by Microsoft doesn't mean its bad.

Only the XBOX is bad. Microsoft good. Xbox bad. Microsoft good. Xbox bad. The Xbox isn't good because:

1. Most of its games are on other systems, so other gamers could get a Gamecube and the same game for half the price.
2. Xbox costs a whopping 300 dollars where I'm from. You can get a PS2 for less.
3. The only good games for Xbox are ones that can be beaten within hours.

You seem to be missing the point, which is to cause mass-destruction for no apparant reason!

Now why would you look down here, anyway?

Hey, Microsoft isn't bad. Most people here have Windows. I do, however disagree with some of their product. Windows XP and the XBOX for example.

People have pointed this out before. Just thought I'd share it with you. On the 'net when someone posts a broken link to an image, a box with an X inside of it appears in place of the image. So it makes you think... Maybe they call it the XBOX because it's ALWAYS BROKEN.

Microsoft isn't bad. Sure they're evil Capitalists. Sure they step on the lower class to get money. Sure they operater solely by eliminating or buying their competition.

But they make the best operating system and the best internet browser out there. Have you made an operating system yet? Have you made an internet browser yet? No. So shut the Hell up.

Kamek, Steel Battalion is the 200 dollar game. Not Mech Assault.

What retard would blow 200 bucks on a game that has so many buttons that they'd have to be an octopus to play?

Ninja Gaiden looks awesome though. So does Splinter Cell.

It's not 200. It's 250.

250 for Steel Battalion? That's even worse.
