xbox at $99?!?

over here they are approx euro 199!!!!!

259.99 $ can without sales taxes. (approx 15%)
300.00 $ with taxes. With only one controller pad.

I prefer to play game on my PC instead to play on game
console.

Why ?

1. Because the game can't be modified by the gamers. And
I'm quickly bored to play any games.

2. It's impossible to have a joystick with 16 buttons and
100/102 keyboard to play a game like X-Wing Alliance or
any Flight Simulator game.

3. With the speed of the computer technology go further
and further each month, the game console just like computer
quickly become a dinosaur.

4. When a new console appear on the market all game from
previous console are not compatible. I have change my
computer and I have succesfully install my old game on my
new computer without any problems.

Finally, I have played game on console long time ago and
when I have started to play game on my PC I have never go
back on game console. For me I have more fun with game on
PC platform.

MX Unleashed it's just because I love Motocross. As soon
as possible I will purshase a real motocross bike not for racing,
but for the fun to make jump around 100ft in length.


Best regards

Yep, saw a sale over christmas offering Xbox consoles for only $99!..You can get the console, two controllers and 2 games for $179 today..

> Is this legal?

To get the XBOX modded? Yes (here in Australia, that is).

As for playing the C64/Amiga/etc games on it: Also legal if you own the
games. I still have plenty of such original games (5-1/4" floppies etc) so
yes, it's legal for me to play those games on it.
