A pile of shame was a phrase (to my knowledge) that was coined by our very own Nick on the old GG! boards, it refers to that giant stack of games that you have neglected to play or put down and never return to, a back log of games, if you will.
As for this price drop, hmmm, that was quick, I may get one this summer.
Key word being may.
MS has no plans of packing the S controller with the system, but some stores will let you trade in the old controller for half off the price of the S. I'm keeping both so I can stick my friends with the crappy controller. Ha! What they get for not buying their own Xbox! :)Quote:

pile of shame???
edit: any one know of the XBoxs' currently in the stores come with the S controller or the original?
I wish they would cut the price of the controllers. I only have one, and I hate having to pay 40 bucks for one, I'd rather buy a game.
.....yeah. :confused:Quote:

even at 200 bucks i still dont find the games on the Xbox worth the price of the system
I have 5 PS2 games (all exclusive PS2 games)
and i have 6 GC games (all exclusive cept 1)
so im really happy with both systems
i dont think for me Personally i could find 5 Exclusive Xbox games worth owning
and eternal darkness is only a month away thatll add another exclusive to my GC camp
There shouldn't even be a question about which system to purchase now that they are all at $199.
The XBOX is by far the most powerful console on the market with some truly great games, Halo, Rallisport Racing, Jet Grind Radio Future, Gun Valkyrie etc.
And you've got titles like Shenmue 2, Dino Crisis 3, Metal Gear Solid X, NBA2k, Virtua Fighter 4 enhanced, Soul Calibur 2 and the update to the greatest football game on the planet, NFL Fever 2003, all waiting in the wings.
Throw in broadband support and it's a no brainer.
I don't see how people who like games as much as we all do are so extremely picky that they could find less than 5 games for any of the next gen systems currently available. Shit man, that's like being Roger Ebert and seeing 5 movies a year.
Well the Xbox has Morrowind and ego coming out this year.......but I doubt that everyone will enjoy them.Some people might get bored because of the openess of the gameplay , and lack of solid objectives. But I am looking forward to these games......its just my opinion..
The xbox has a bunch of sega and capcom games games like HOD3 ,Crazy taxi next , that new panzer game , dino crisis 3 , and tehci . But if these games arent Xbox exclusive......then I definetely wont be buying the box till it hits $100.
Another good bit of news for the box is that the console port of Dues Ex 2 is exclusive to xbox. Hooray!
Not to mention I'm excited about Project Ego and Splinter Cell.
I'm quite happy with the lineup of Xbox games, and look forward to some of the shameless pc ports we can expect to see because of the lack of early japanese support.. :D
I can't wait for Morrowwind, VF4.1, PDO, the upgraded Shenmue 2 (I may need a modchip for my Australian Xbox, I'm not sure there'll be a euro release) Doom3, the Unreal games, MGS:Substance, GP4(the Geof Crammond F1 game) etc
I'm happy for Cube and ps2 to do well but I secretly wish they'd die in favour of the box. (heh sorry. But I'll be getting all 3 eventually)
In all the announcements I have heard, every game you have listed is exclusive, unless you've caught some news rescently that I missed. Well, I guess it they do decide to drop exclusivity we'll know in days. For now, I've heard nothing about any Sega exclusive officially going multi.Quote:
