Great Games and Powerful System but Problems. . .
I think on its face the system is 5 stars because of the power of the system and the quality of the games in terms of graphics and audio quality.In fact, when considering these aspects, I think the Xbox's games are much better than Playstation 2's.However, it is severely lacking in the construction of the system and length of warranty.I have had my system for a little over 30 days and I already have to send it in for servicing.Why does it need servicing?For all I can tell, I left it on for a couple of days with a game in the drive.It seems it shorted or burnt something out.I keep it in a well-ventilated area and have it attached to a good surge protector and the other audio or video components plugged into the same surge protector are fine.I think the problem is the system has no automatic standby ...instead, you have to turn on the 2 hour or so sleep timer ....I do not believe this is an isolated event because I know other people who own these systems who have had similar problems and read Amazon reviews where similar problems are described.

Another issue that I have with the system was its warranty, which is only 90 days, but when I called for servicing, I found out you can extend it for a year (even after the first 90 warranty expires) for [money]and for around [money]for an extra 2 years.It is extra money but at least you will not be left with a worthless box if it breaks down outside of the 90 days.

Additionally, on the Xbox's DVD remote, there is no power button or open tray button.I hate remotes without power buttons-they make no sense-especially, when they cost [money](like the one for the Xbox).

Another thing is the Microsoft does not make a coaxial digital audio out on its interconnects (only fiber optic Toslink) so if you want coaxial digital audio, you have to pay around [money]for a Monster Cable interconnect.Otherwise, if you want digital audio, you have to spend around [money]for one of Microsoft's adapters and make sure you have a receiver with an empty Toslink input and then you have to buy a fiber optic cable for [money].

Finally, the Xbox comes pretty stripped down (basic setup is a console and 1 controller) and if you want basic features (at least, what I would consider basic) like DVD [money] and digital audio [money]with a digital audio cable), carrying case [money],extended warranty [money],extra controller [money],S-Video ([money]included with Microsoft's Advance AV Pack along with fiber optic digital audio), etc.It really starts to add up.I think the system should have DVD playback without a remote (which you should be able to program into a universal remote or at least, purchase for less than [money]), digital audio, and S-Video built into the system not to mention a longer standard warranty.I believe that PlayStation 2 comes with DVD playback standard (without a remote) and possibly better standard audio and video features.

DUMB!!
DO NOT GET THIS GAME SYSTEM IT HAS REALLY FRUSTRING CONTROLLERS AND IT HAS ONLY ONE COOL GAME AND THATS HALO THE REST ARE DUMB DO NOT GET THIS UNIT

Simply the best
Yes the Xbox is big but look at all the extras hardware your getting.A 8 gig hard drive, network card, four controller ports, a 733MHz CPU, 64M of ram, and a Nvidia graphic card.The X box has very few games because it�s a new system but the ones that are out now are worth buying.Trust me buy the Xbox, don�t think about now think about the future.In the future it will be the best consol.I bought my Xbox when it came out and I have no complaints.The graphics are amazing, I play Halo online (yes its possible), now I�m just waiting for Hunter the reckoning.

A great Time for everyone!
This was a big gift from Santa this year, and boy is he in trouble!Not only do my children love to play for hours on end (a great discipline bribe!) such games as Tony Hawk and Fuzion Frnezy (my favorite) but my husband will log in and absolutely check out.Now friends, cousins, even babysitters, can't wait to get their hands on these games.I have not been disappointed in any way.The great options to make my kids play without the annoying music, or even downloading music of our own, has been a life saver.

We have enjoyed the rumble feedback, and the variety of games to choose from, although we also await new releases.My husband has especially enjoyed Project Gotham and John Madden, and he was used to playing a PS2 andhad no problem switching over.

The DVD option is also great.While it was a bit skimpy to make us buy the DVD remote seperately, we have not regretted it one bit.Movies play great and I can honestly say, even in spite of the prices for this coveted box this year, we have NO REGRETS!! ... Read more

Amazon.com Product Description

The Xbox Starter Pack includes the Xbox console, a total of two Xbox controllers, an Xbox carrying case, and a six-month subscription to Electronic Gaming Monthly.

Take the power and flexibility of a dedicated computer gaming system and combine it with the easy-to-use, instant-on format of a high-end console system and what do you get? Well, if you also add in DVD playback ability and broadband Internet connectivity, you get Xbox.

The advanced components inside Xbox make it the undisputed powerhouse among current game consoles. A 733 MHz Intel main processor and 233 MHz graphics processor from industry leader nVidia deliver photorealistic graphics in real time. A cavernous hard drive stores saved games and characters, making flimsy memory sticks obsolete. The built-in Ethernet port enables super-fast multiplayer online gaming over a broadband Internet connection. Four game controller ports allow you and three of your buddies to play at the same time, or you can use them for other peripherals such as gamepads, light guns, voice-activated headsets, and who knows what else?

But Xbox has more going for it than fancy innards. The Xbox's Windows-based operating system is a breeze to program on, earning it grateful accolades from Electronic Arts, Infogrames, THQ, and other game producers. The less time developers spend struggling with the operating system means the more time they spend tweaking gameplay, which ultimately results in better games. And games are what it's all about.

Well, games and the fun of owning a green-glowing game console that looks like it came from Darth Vader's living room. --Mike Fehlauer ... Read more

Amazon deals second hand products
Bought x-box from Amazon Dec. 2002. Disc reading was faulty from the start but problem went from intermittent to constant.When I contacted company to arrange for servicing, they took my serial number and said that 90 day warranty had run out in June 2002, meaning that Amazon had originally sold unit in March 2002 and re-sold in Dec. 2002. Amazon will not take it back. If you want to buy this product, don't deal with Amazon; they are slime!

TOO MUCH $$
This XBOX starter pack is way way to much money for what you are getting. The XBOX is 179 dollars and the controller is 29.99 dollars and the subscription for six months can not be more than 50.00 and the carrying case for 30.00 dollars and that is all for 288.88 so they are charging way to much!! I think 288.88 is a lot less than 800.00 dollars.

This is the worst system ever!!!!!!!1
This is the worst system I've ever played. It has no fun games and it is so stupid looking. Microsoft made a big mistake of making a video game console. Buy a Gamecube. That way you will not go insane and murder half the earths population.

Great system, bad price
Look, the system costs 200, the bag 30, and 30 for the controller. Just go buy it yourself. I would rather buy the official Xboxm magazine (with playable demos published monthly)than the magazine offered.

xbox or nothing
First of all the ps2 has the worst graphics of the three consoles. And most of its 300 hundred games [aren't any good] anyways. As far as the game cube its cute but not much more power than the ps2, and no online play. O and also no first person shooters on ps2 cause its to weak to produce them, And as far as the xbox is concearned its nice has plenty of power for a console, and has xbox live, and way cleaner games and manny titles are comming. So if you want old techknology get a ps2. If you want cute games get a game cube, and if you want it all get an x box period. ... Read more

great system
Comparing xbox to ps2 is like comparing a pc to a mac the mac is the pc for stupid people that dont know how to double click on an icon. Same with ps2 much less features not to confuse the not very smart people that buy it.

Xbox is the best console out there, but don't buy any "pack"
I am now the proud owner of an Xbox...After some serious searching, I figured out that I could get a the things I actually wanted for a lower price. The only reason I am giving it 3 stars is because it comes with an xbox. By the way, if you are going to get an xbox, get the s-controller with it, it's a lot smaller and easier to manage. Don't listen to those freaks who own PS2(which [stinks]--just cuz it has more games doesn't mean they're good, and it came way before xbox, so it isn't as good) and Gamecube(also [stinks]--target market is 10 an under, and it's not as powerful) There, you've heard me rant, now buy an xbox.

When I got my Xbox pack.........:)........*****5 stars!!!
The xbox is one of the most incredible machines of gaming systems out there and I'm proud to say it has the best graphics, music, sounds...etc.And I think it has SOME of the best games not all the games on xbox are too impressive when it comes to gameplay.BUt I would say the best games for xbox are Halo, Dead Or alive 3, Star Wars obiwan, and Max Payne.ANd Unreal championship looks that way too from the previews.And Jedi Knight 2:Jedi Outcast coming out for xbox and gamecube, so that might as well be ported over from PC to xbox and that also may be one of the finest game on xbox.But games like nlf fever 2002,
gunivike, mad dash, and tony hawk 2 just dont play the gameplay price when being created to fast and ending up lousy or being ported over from other game systems that are already look great just doesn't fit on xbox.BUT I STILL LOVE XBOX AND I THINK AND VIDEO/PC GAMER SHOULD GET IT.I RECCOMEND IT:)

HALO is not the only good game..
OK, I'm writing this review because after reading over all the other reviews that have 1 or 2 stars, everyone always said the same thing, "Halo is only good game". This is complete nonsense. Not only does the Xbox have online capabilities launching in late summer/fall, which will add incredible replay value, BUT Xbox is getting a ton of great games later this year/early next year.

Crazy Taxi 3, Toe Jam & Earl 3, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Project Ego, Shenmue II (out for DC in Japan only), Ninja Gaiden, and Tao Feng (looking as good as Soul Calibur 2) are ALL Xbox exclusive games coming out later this year/early next year. If you say those are not good games you are absolutely nuts. Sure GameCube has Metroid and Star Fox adventures, but the new Zelda looks really bad, and Mario Sunshine is absolutely designed for children under 7 years of age, a definite stepdown from the N64 versions of those franchises.

You're entiled to your own opinions, but saying Halo is the only good game for Xbox makes you really sound like an idiot. ... Read more

Forget the graphics, its all about the games.
Listen, graphics don't make a system (except in the case of PS2 during the 2000 holiday season and its so called "emotions chip" apparently, considering the PS2 had very very few good games in 2000). The Xbox has some amazing games, and in 2003, the Xbox will be getting games that not even the PC can touch...for now (Fable, Halo 2, Fantasy Live). If you want the latest, most innovative, most cutting edge games, Xbox is the system for you. If you want the same old gameplay that PS2 is capable of, Xbox is still good.

So what if Xbox is part PC? Its not the first. DC had a PC infrastructure as well, but no one complained about it then!

XBOX IS THE NUMBER ONE CONSOLE. PS2 AND GAMECUBE DONT STAND A CHANCE. XBOX IS THE BEST GIFT. THIS HOLIDAY SEASON GO WITH THE POWER OF THE X

Xbox has no equal
I got my xbox a week ago and i have showed it to about five of my friends that want a ps2 or gamecube they played halo and dead or alive 3 and said " i need a xbox". Xbox is the most powerful of the 3 systems and the best 1.A lot of people complain about size and wait of the system well guess what it is not very heavy or large compared to computer or a tv so they should shut there mouths. The cortroller is awsome but is big. If you do not like it then get a s controller. I think the contoller is awsome and well designed. The games are the best ever. Halo is my favorite game in the past 4 years. Dead or alive 3 is a great fighter with awsome graphics and munches is a conmic releif. Fusion Frenzy is a great party game nfl fever is a sweet football game, and hunter the reckoning is fun to. I could name a lot more games but those are the first ones to look at. In the future we can expexct good things from panzer dragoon Orta, The next halo, shenmue 2 , steel battalion, mech assault, gun metal, unreeal online, xiii, and blinx just to name a few. Overall XBOX rocks and blows away the competition.

ps2 doesent have better graphics
If you ever whatch commercials for games that are coming out on xbox and ps2 you notice that in fine print it says "xbox fotage shown" because the xboxes graphics are much better also who cares if the ps2 has a ton of games its not like youre gonna buy 300 games the xbox has more quality games than the ps2 and thats all you really need is 15or so quality games. The xbox is a great system.

bad
keep your ps2 wait for ps3 got it

get it got it good? ... Read more

X-Box RULES!!!!
Well I own both a PS2 and a XBOX and i've got to tell you that XBOX is definatly the better of the two.1. you've got the better graphics, 2. no need to buy expensive memory cards, 5. You've got 4 ports so if you want to play with all your friends you dont have to buy a expensive attachment 4. The games.The games for the XBOX are just better hands down, you've got games like Halo and Morrowindand many more.plus most games that are on the PS2 are also out on the XBOX.The only thing I like more about the PS2 is that you can watch DVD's without buying an attachment, wich is pretty nice if you dont want to buy a DVD player
P.S. the PS2 plays the DVD's very badly!

Overpriced by over 300 dollars
Perhaps this site doesn't get updated often, or whomever is offering this halo pack is seriously delusional, but all the components (New and bought seperately) included in this "Deal" add up to approximately $300.00, when the apparent asking price is twice that...I would advise anyone who doesn't enjoy flushing away hundred dollar bills, or lighting the end of their cuban cigars with c notes, to steer clear of this offer, and perhaps this site in general, especially if you are a parent, grandparent, or loved one of one who would enjoy such a product, and are unaware of its true market value.

HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been wanting an xbox for quite some time now, and when I saw it with halo on this website, I simply couldn't resist!!!However, when I got it, I was immediatly turned away.This sytem is the bulkiest, most annoying thing on the surface of this planet.When I got it, the instructions were so bad, it took me 3 hours to set up!And when I did, the game was fun, but there was a glitch that kept erasing my game file.Then, about a week later (I played the game even though it kept erasing my file), the xbox over heated and hasn't shown any sign of life since.So, if I were to give you some advice on weather to buy this game/system bundle or not, I would say NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!period!

Halo-tastic
This is the Xbox's premeir game. It is the best first person shooter out there. Its multiplayer is unrivaled and the single player rocks. I recomend this to anybody who likes the James Bond or Unreal games. This is the just Xbox at the peak of gaming glory.

I wouldn't get it
Why not? Well because nowadays if you search around u can get an xbox for less then 175 bucks.Halo is only 50.An extra controller is 25.That is only 150.You defintely dont need the strategy guide for that this game does not have ANY puzzles its great fun just comes from killing all the aliens and the great graphics,and EGA I would not reccomend unless you have every system.My subscription is already up but it was not worth it.Every issue only had about 5 pages out of the 30 something about XBOX... basically just telling about new games that arn't going to come out for a long time so nobody cares about them.I also wouldn't get it for the DVD Movie Playback Kit because the DVD Player on Xbox is not great at all.Unless you dont have any DVD player that would be your only need for it.But if you have one DVD Player around the house I can assure you it will be better then the one built into XBOX.And why would you buy a product that rips you off?Its obvious microsoft had the technology to make it so you can control the DVD menu from your controller.Its just another scandal to rob you from your money.:-) ...

Four game controller ports allow you and three ofyour buddies to play at the same time, or you can use them for otherperipherals such as gamepads, light guns, voice-activated headsets, andwho knows what else?

But Xbox has more going for it than fancy innards. The Xbox'sWindows-based operating system is a breeze to program on, earning it gratefulaccolades from Electronic Arts, Infogrames, THQ, and other gameproducers. The less time developers spend struggling with the operatingsystem means the more time they spend tweaking gameplay, whichultimately results in better games. And games are what it's all about.

Well, games and the fun of owning a green-glowing game console thatlooks like it came from Darth Vader's living room. --MikeFehlauer ... Read more

You know nothing
What are you talking about? Everybodies saying that the XBOX is going to screw you up because it has a Hard Drive. What's the problem with that. You'll run out of space a lot slower than on a memory card. And it comes with the system. And if you do run out of space, which there is 30,000 blocks of it, you just by the portable memory unit. Guess what, XBOX has memory cards too. And they're only 25 dollars. About the same price as PS2's or GCN's. So stop slamming it and actually try it. You won't have to upgrade the HD. So give it up.

xbox review
I think everyone who says an xbox is crap most likely havent even played one cause is they have they would of realised how good an xbox is. The graphics are much than on a ps2 or gamecube.The sound is brilliant and it has some of the best games ever out like halo or project gotham racing 2. If you are planning to get an xbox the games to get are.

PROJECT GOTHAM RACING 2.

HALO.

Max Payne
This game is Killer. I got this game a few weeks ago for Xbox. I also have it for my computer you should get this game. If your asking your parents for PS2 i advise you to get Xbox. The Xbox it self has Killer games already like: Halo,Project Gotham Racing,Grand Theft Auto 3. I can go on and on about these great titles for Xbox. In conclusion if you don't have Xbox you should get it and it's Killer games and if you already have it you should already recongnize it's power.

My first console game experience- just great!
XBOX was my first video game console . Sure I played on friends PSone and even PS2, but never was tempted to buy. The graphics on XBOX won me over. I can vouch for an excellent gaming experience and I truly hope Microsoft will release more games to go with it, including versions of PC games. Definite fun

Xbox is good... not good enough
The fact of the matter is this... all systems are just about equal except Xbox and PS2 cost ...more that GCN.Anyways,I would suggest getting either a PS2 or GCN because Microsoft is running a hard drive in this system only to sting their customers in the future by making them upgrade it.The HD is gonna run out of space therefore you must upgrade.This will most likely cost an amazing amount of money (seeing how Microsoft operates) and you will be stuck without a platform while your precious Xbox is being upgraded.And most likely the upgrades will either screw up your previous files or delete them.The only thing better about Xbox is the speed of the system, and the graphics are a tad better. ...
