Im about to order an X-Box online from play.com.

X-box – £129.99
Colin McRay 4 - £27.99
Splinter Cell – £17.99

Total – £175.97

Anyone know anywhere cheaper???

Was thinking about buying Halo do you think I’ll be better waiting for Halo 2??

it's nothing like counterstrike mate..... It's more of a sit and think game than rush in and die.

Ghost recon is okay, unreal is crazy hard to play but once you get used to the controller it could be good

I got my X Box from Amazon - £119.99 incl P&P. CMR4 is £27.99 and bought Splinter Cell from Gamestation s/h (but mint) for £11.99. Paid £19.99 for Halo, £12.99 for Gotham Project Racing. Branches all over the Country now - usually loads of s/h games - cheap!

Cheers

Mike

if u like rpg's get morrowind! loads of gaming hours in that one!

er soul calibur 2 is a good fighting game but pricey as its new, for a cheaper fightin game go for dead or alive 3.

kung fu chaos is quite good too n should be dirt cheap in gamestation now?

as for halo i'd wait for halo 2 realy now.

I think splinter cell is so far one of the best games on the xbox. It all depends what you like I suppose. Basically it's all about stealth and strategy. If you try and play it with all guns blazing you're not going to get very far. Bit like Metal Gear, only better

If you want mindless guns blazing type action, then you'd be better off with Unreal...

Splinter cell is good but I would head to Gamestation or Game and buy them 2nd hand!
Sure you can get the X-box for less by now...
I got mine second hand from Gamestation as well (well the GF did )

Well I've been out today and got one . After about half-an-hour of haggling with the store manager I got an X-Box with ColinMcRay4, Halo and Splinter Cell for £189.99 for Game in Stafford. Been home about 2 hours now and I hooked already all three games are great but splinter cell is well addictive . £190 well spent me thinks.
