THE XBOX

Most people here probably have but for anyone here who has not yet seen what the xbox looks like here is a picture of it:

Here's pics of some of the other stuff that ya can get:
The 8 meg memory card
Top Gun Fox 2 Pro Joystick
And the Vortex Controller

By the way for those of you who don't know, the XBOX is already out in Japan.

I think the Xbox looks pretty darn cool. It's big, it's black and it has a solid, wholesome feel to it.

The controller looks too cumbersome, though.

Nice picts. XBOX controller is the best I've ever felt. I am 6-4, so for tiny people I think it will be great for some but just good for others as feel goes. As for functional abilities it is really perfect.

Conzumah is right, XBOX will be coming to Japan on Febuary 22nd 2002.

The Xbox may not be for sale in Japan.
But it was still there, cause a friend of mine went to Japan recently.

Like Steel Shark said the controller is great! I would have to say that it was better than the Playstation one because it seems to fit right into your hand.

Did your friend happen to go to the tokyo game show, because if they did then there certainly would have been some boxes there.

soooo...what's the UK release date then?


if you have a problem with the controller, i'm sure you'll be able to find a 3rd-party one to suit you...

My friend said that it was some kind of electronics event.
There was lots of cool stuff there like those new TV phones.
