Nintendo Penguin #1 Posted May 23, 2003 Thats right all. Last week I was seriously considering buying an Xbox for one game. CodeMasters is making an INDY Car series game for the Xbox. What is so special about that? Well, I have been wainting for an Indy game for a long time, and USAC actually licensed the Indy 500 to be in the Codemasters game. I was excited when I heard this, but pissed-off because the dude at GameStop said it was Xbox exclusive. Since the Xbox price just dropped, I almost bought one. I took another look at the codemasters site, and the game is coming out for the PC as well.... THANK GOD! This just proves once again, there is nothing out that I want for PS2 or Xbox that I can't get on the PC. Glad I own a Cube. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VidGameKing #2 Posted May 23, 2003 there is nothing wrong with buying an XBOX, just aslong as you dont say that it's better or worse than any of your other next gen systems. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NE146 #3 Posted May 23, 2003 Yeah.. would you have been saying the same thing back in the day when the 2600 came out? or the 5200? or the Colecovision? It's all good man. It's just videogames.. And they all were the latest and greatest at some point Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VidGameKing #4 Posted May 23, 2003 but if I remeber correctly Donkey Kong for the Colecovision was by far graphically better than the same game on the 2600. just wanted to inject that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bargora #6 Posted May 23, 2003 VintageGamer, you cannot get Steel Battalion on the PC. And without giant robots with guns, I'm sorry to say, your life is a meaningless empty husk. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PuddWakkr #8 Posted May 23, 2003 I must be filthy for owning 2 Xbox's if you felt dirty for almost buying one. I think i'll change my name to "pigpen". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raijin Z #9 Posted May 23, 2003 It's okay to pay for an XBox, as long as you steal a copy of that prototype Windows XP successor floating around the net. Just to balance it out. Word to the wise, though. Do NOT mod an XB you plan on using XBL with. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NE146 #10 Posted May 23, 2003 Word to the wise, though. Do NOT mod an XB you plan on using XBL with. Or if you're really wise then you'd know lots of people play xbox live w/ a modded xbox. Just don't leave your switch in the wrong position when connecting Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PuddWakkr #12 Posted May 23, 2003 I play on Live all the time with my modded box. I'm kinda worried when that new XBL 2.0 comes out it might screw me. I believe it will connect with Live everytime you start upyour Xbox. I'm sure there will be a way around it. I guess I could use my unmodded box for more than a DVD player if I have to.

AtariDude #13 Posted May 24, 2003 Is codemasters the same group of people that was mentioned in that video from a month back? Gameheadz I think it was called. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
