[Cloverfield]

I want to get Azurik, Nightcaster (exploring... woo hoo!) and Malice, but none of those are Launch titles. The Matrix also looks pretty cool. Halo is the only launch title (apart from Oddworld) that I am interested in.

I'm going to have a whinge here now, because how come when any console launches you get stuck with crappy sport/racing and 1 on 1 fighter games. Look at the actual Launch titles ... how many do not fit into this category... Oddworld and Halo. There are no RPG games at launch (one of my favorite genres).

The same thing happened with the PS2 launch. OK, some people like these types of games, but I don't, and I'm sure there are others like me. So with the bundle pack system you are virtually forced to buy at least one game you'd never even give a second glance to.

So as a result I changed my mind totally about pre-ordering an Xbox unless I find a place that doesn't bundle (I think I have found this place, have to do some checking). I don't want to be spending $100Aus on a game I'd never play. Bundled or not. If I can't pre-order a single Xbox, then I'm getting someone from our US office to pick me one up (OK... I have to wait a few weeks longer, but that's the way it goes). And it was a decision that took about 3 weeks to make.

If I'm wrong, I take it back, but I looked at all the pre-order packs, and I had to get 1 (sometimes 2) games I'd never touch.
