actually you couldnt be more wrong! - I'm happy that MS have cut the price of the Xbox - it almost guarantees it'll have a brighter future - hence my investment wasnt a complete waste of money.

Plus I get two new games and a 3rd controller for nowt -

happy? yep

Nope, definitely no kicking going on here.

Sounds like it may be worth buying at £300 now!

I'm thinking of getting Fusion Frenzy, simply because with the free controller I'll be getting it would be fun after a night out. I've got Rally sport and Halo so maybe Dead or Alive or Jet set Radio, I'll wait for the full list on the 26th.

I'm kinda happy too, cause I've been playing Halo long enough that I need new games
PLease don't rush out and buy the Xbox now at £300 just for the free games, it'll be available in decent sub-£300 bundles from GAME etc very soon.
