Worth it?

[Layzie]

Someone I know is offering me a X-Box, four controllers, and Halo2 for $200.

I was wondering if it is worth it, or should I wait for X-Box2?

I say wait.

Plus in my opinion Halo 2 wasn't all that great. I've beaten the game 2 times already(Heroic/Legendary, i think bungi (sp?) should have taken more time to fix some things.

Halo 2 pwns you

Well when is Xbox 2 released? I think that if the Xbox 2 isn't coming out until Q4 2005 (or so I've heard) then you should buy the xbox + Halo2 and have a years entertainment until the next xbox. If you get 4 controllers then you can play with some mates as well. And when Xbox2 does some out you could sell or trade the original and buy the new xbox. 👍

But something I was pondering is that, I can't think of any games to buy except for DoA Ultimate and NFL 2k5.... which cost more money

Games to buy...

ninja gaiden
RSC2
KOTOR
morrowind gold if your pc sucks
Soul cal 2
Burn out 3
PGR2
panzer orta
halo and halo 2

and more, but im at uni so I cant think of any, oh well back to work

Jade Empire is gonna own so much. BioWare + Kung Fu RPG = win.

I say go for it. I just bought mine and there are plenty of games that are great and better on Xbox than any other system. Good luck!

BS @ the dude who thinks he beat Halo2 on legendary.

Only even consider it if you take it online.

 

[code_kev]

Get it , Xbox is fun offline and online.

Yeah, I bought a gamecube yesterday and I'm already bored with it. I just dont like metroid prime for some reason
I bought it for Resident Evil 4

Gamecubes are cool, make sure you get zelda (any, they are all FANTASTIC), and ofc super smash bros

Metroid prime sucks ass abit tbh.

Are you kidding me? If you're interested at all it's worth the money! The cheapest I could get the same setup from EBGames was $275 + shipping.

Used XBox with a game bundle was $140
They didn't have used controllers, I bet no one does
And a pre-played Halo 2 was $45

Lets say $100 for the XBox and 1 controller. $40 for Halo 2. And $20 each for the other 3 controllers. That's $200, and I think all those prices are fair.

To assemble that new would be almost $300 and with tax would be well over.

haha i got an awesome deal. I got:

Ghost Recon
Wolfenstein
Halo
Unreal Tournament
Morrowind: The Elder Scrolls III
2 controllers
DVD Playback kit
and the xbox

for...135$ !!!!

Poor bugger. I'd say buy ur deal, and keep the 4 controllers, cuz you can use them with the trade-in for xbox2, and trade in a couple games you're willing 2 sacrifice. When xbox2 or Xeonix or wetf theyre calling it, it should be about $550 when it comes out so you should have a couple bucks saved up by then.

yeah, I'll second that. Halo2 on legendary is impossible. me and my buddy, who beat Halo on Legendary countless times, never even made it to earth. We haven't tried again in a while, but it's ridiculously hard.

If you plan on getting x-box live then I would offer him $150 then go for it. Halo 2 is excellent online but the single player is not that great. Only problem is that lately x-box live has been lagging like mad! But when its not lagging it is excellent online.

 

[kinigitt]

the halo games are worth the purchase of the system by themselves. Well...halo 2 only if you have xbox live. The single player was a let down, still great but...lacking. I still can't believe it.

if youre worried about money, go with a GC, since you won't be buying all that many games on your budget and the choice games are REALLY good.

Wind waker, the zelda collectors edition, REmake, Resident evil 4 coming soon, eternal darkness, MGS: twin snakes, Pikmins are fun, viewtiful joes, mariokart dd, and SMASH BROTHERS!

I didn't mention Metroid prime because I hate the controls, despite loving the art direction. Maybe you'd like em, so check em out.
