Give me 5 good reasons not to sell my Xbox

Lurch1982 · 09-02-2002, 11:09 PM

1.) online play starts up this fall.
2.) Huge fall and early spring lineup including Ninja Gaiden (late winter), Shenmue II, Mech Assault, Crimson skies, etc
3.) Halo 2 (why not) in a year

What's the real point of selling it anyway?

That's impossible. I have no clue what your tastes in gaming are.

I looked at the Xbox's lineup and it looks dry. I sell it to get some money back, duh, I see no use for the thing. Already happy with my GC, don't wanna waste any more money on new games and I don't have time for two different consoles.

I don't want to spend money on Xbox Live, I plan going online with my GC instead, Xbox looks like it will blow GC out of the water when it comes to online gameplay but we don't know anything about Nintendo's approach with online capabilities yet. Is Xbox getting Phantasy Star Online ver. 2? Last time I checked, I don't think so.

I like every single genre. When's Shenmue II coming out? Halo 2 and Panzer Dragoon are starting to give me second thoughts.

I remember reading a press release saying PSO is going to Xbox and Gamecube but not PS2.

Shenmue II is due out this fall (more specifically, I think it's early november).

I've found the lineups for all three systems relativly dry since last January.

Why did you buy two consoles if you don't want to waste time with two consoles?

[EDIT] I found the press release I was thinking about. Sega showed off Xbox and Gamecube builds of Phantasy Star Online at E3.

Yeah but the Gamecube version is getting all the extras, the X-box version is just a straight port of PSO.

1.)Online play
2.)Panzer Dragoon
3.)Enclave
4.) Brute Force.
5.) Project Ego.
6.) Doom 3 (voted best game at E3 By many different sites.)
7.)Unreal Championship online. If you know anything about Unreal Tournament, you should know the sort of credentials this has.
8.) Pg2
9.) operation flashpoint (looks veerrrrryyy cool.)
10.) Rainbow 6: Raven Shield
11.) Shining lore.

There's eleven. I can think another ten. honestly, which console has the best plan for online play is irrelevant to me; I have an XBox. I don't feel like playing with lag. It will be much easier, and games like Shining Lore as well as Ps2 will rock. Playing co op missions on Halo will just rock. I wonder if it'll come with some sort of quest editor, or expansions, etc.

PSO is still very in the works for the X.
