Here I am to show you the light young grasshoppa.
Oh XBOX how I love thee, let me count the ways.
1. Munch
2. All of ODDWORLDS seequels
3. Extra DVD
4. HDTV compatible (If not now then in the future)for you ELUM
5. 5.1 Dolby surround sound
A break in the countdown, I have seen in real-time and playtested all of these games I am about to mention,I have seen concepts of future areas within these games as well, I have talked to countless Devs in intricate detail on all of these games, from graphics, A.I., sound, music,gameplay, etc,etc...
I am neutral, I'm no salesperson,I am just calling it as I see it, this is my preferred system. I own PS2, I like alot of what's coming on it, I will own Gamecube as well within 2 months as well. But if I were forced to own only one system it would be XBOX for oh sooo many reasons.
The games will be better due to the most basic of reasons, "BRUTE POWER",textures, A.I., graphics, lighting,on and on.
Just ask ODDWORLD themselves about the XBOX. These are pros who could have gone with PS2, why did'nt they? It cannot do what the BOX can. The oddworld people could have milked the cashcow, made a ton on a very nice PS2 version and then done it the real fantastic way and made a directors cut with the XBOX. They chose XBOX because they want there masterpiece on only the best, as simple as that. Elum MO, will only be on XBOX, never on PS2,and that's a fact, and the sequels as well.
No other games coming on the XBOX, Hello........ Hello, stop fooling yourselves, only MO, come on people get with the program, if you cannot honestly say you want more than just MO on the XBOX well you are no true gamer,or you just have not done your homework,sorry but that's a fact.
ELUM, here are some links to games coming on the XBOX, look them over,tell me what you think.

There are more that I have been lucky enough to see in person that will be coming in later 2002, for example: Xavier Fox, Matrix, Orchid, Kleaners, Heavens beast, 24 Automatons,all of these if out today, would be the best overall games made,they are all true next-gen games being pushed by a very powerful machine the XBOX,the dev's have more freedom now with this new found power for A.I. and graphics and so on. And they will just get better from there. Don't forget Elum that these are the first year titles, there will be another 4 years or so of games beyond these on the XBOX.
For example Strident and Duality, they will be MGS2 on steroids, it's the next gen of MGS2 with these games.
Now the games I mentioned were just a handful, there are many more that will suit your needs and style, just keep an open mind and really take a look and I believe you will see the light that I already see shining brightly.
Oh yes and some of these games may seem like nothing more than names to you now, but remember I have seen them in person,and they are for real, far beyond what we have seen thus far, and they are still in progress, they'll get even better and deeper with developement time.
Here are a couple secrets,( to this point no one outside the Dev team know it's true identity) you know the game Kleaners, it's a tactical squad based action game that blows the lid off MGS2,you shall see. Orchid, you like MO, wait till you see this beast in action, bizzare and original, with major "Depth" with a capital "D".
Well those are the many reasons I believe in the XBOX and hope you join the party. And hopefully we will get to race around Oddworld with the creature ELUM real soon.
Oh did I mention MO, oh yes I did, but it is worth mentioning again. Stay cool Elum, and hope to see you on the XBOX express.
Thanks for the compliment Joe the intern, boy do we got good taste, viva XBOX...........
