Pros: Impressive specs and game list, looks pretty, $300 price (estimates ranged from $500-$600)
Cons: Despite Microsoft's marketing attempts, some people still think Xbox is a PC.
This opinion attempts to clarify some of the issues surrounding the Xbox, such as its PC roots.
If all of the electronic components used in the Xbox were identical to all of those used in a nuclear missile, would we call the Xbox a nuclear...

Pros: Great Graphics, Games, Sound, Controller. Built in HD and Ethernet capability
Cons: Big/Heavy. Not the biggest game library
I own a Playstation 2 myself and my friend recently bought an XBox and had me over. I played for a few hours and fell in love with it. I ordered my XBox from Bestbuy and upon arrival, I liked it. Here are some of the good and the bads I found.

Pros: Potentially powerful, has serious marketing muscle behind it
Cons: Serious questions about games and support, can the X-Box survive a DOJ breakup?
I might have been the only one who was surprised that Microsoft decided to leap into the console gaming fray. In retrospect, I shouldn't have - the company has always been willing to stick its neck out where it hasn't been before - to some success,...

Pros: Excellent Hardware, Huge Financial Support, The Future of Console Gaming
Cons: Original Controller designed poorly, Not the biggest Software Library
You already have a picture of it a little further up on the page, so no need to make you load it twice. I got my X-Box in May of 2002 as a graduation present to myself. Why did I choose the X-Box though? Here are a few reasons...

XBOX Review
Today it came. You guessed right: XBOX! Billed as either the next big thing in Console Gaming or Microsoft’s Big Mistake depending on who you talk to. I will say one thing its big! At the size of a VCR and weighing in at over 8...

Pros: Hardware capabilities
Cons: Hardware reliability, software quality
The capabilities of the hardware is mesmerizing, although it's design is rather generic. What the PS-2 and GameCube achieved through unique design, the X-Box achieves through raw power. But more power can help the developer to achieve a very realistic...

Pros: Powerhouse System, Very "Ahead of the Curve", Great Features
Cons: Big, but I like my Electronics BIG!
Well, I had been tracking the progress of the XBOX since it was first announced, and I was pleased with what I saw. So, a few weeks after it's release, I went and picked one up.
I'll say right off the bat that I haven't had this much fun playing...

Pros: Hard Drive, Fastest Processor Of Any Console, Solid controller, Lots Of Horsepower
Cons: Somewhat Limited Selection Of Games
I remember the day I got an Atari 2600 back in 1978. Makes me feel old saying that, but the point being, I've seen the evolution of the video game genre from the day it began. I'd say that gives me the credentials to be objective when it comes to the...

Pros: graphics, bulit-in hard drive, FAST paced gameplay and amazing graphics.
Cons: too big and heavy, earlier controllers. Need a Remote to play DVDs.
First best American console, yes knowing the fact that the Japanese ruled the video game industry most the time. We finally get something here in the U.S before Japan. I also thought it would be fun to write this review on the anniversery of the Xbox ...

Updated November 11, 2002
-------------------------
My XBOX stopped working one fine day. I called XBOX support and they agreed to fix it (fortunately, I was still under the 3 month warranty). I suggest all users buy Extended warranty ($50 for...

Pros: Lots of memory, no memory card problem, great graphics, medium loading time.
Cons: Some people think it has a large controler, might slow like computer.

Pros: Most powerful system on the market, DVD player, 4 player ports, ethernet, hard drive
Cons: Slow start, Microsoft, lot of unimproved or delayed port-overs from other systems
Nov 15, 2001: the day the true console war started. This is the day the Xbox was first sold (legally) in the United States. The first contender is the Playstation2, brought to you by Sony. Now Microsoft's Xbox. Then three days later was Gamecube, by...

by duke_nuker , Aug 05 '00
Pros: Will include hard drive; many good companies to work for it
Cons: Still many questions; overhyped before time
When the first announcement about the upcoming game console, the X Box, was made by Microsoft some months ago, it instantly received an insane amount of media coverage of all sorts. It was even mentioned in publications that have nothing to do with the...
