Probably a good idea in your situation then Theo, might need to get the games shipped over too though.
I know classic xbox games from across the pond won't play on an unchipped box.

Why do you bother keeping them then? Can't you take them back for a refund?  ::)

Yeah.  I've only bought games once in the last 18 months, so it should work for me.

The console is cheap enough, it is all the addons you need.

Not very many good games though, I still prefer the PS2 and believe it or not the Dreamcast.

I do not understand paying near £300 for one - might as well get an XBox360 for that.

True, but look on ebay, people are paying the big bucks for them.

Tunnie, I went into Game up Massive at the weekend and there was a queue of about 20 odd people waiting for a lorry to bring these WII, in the hope they all got one :-?

Just planning if it was safe to mangle the card - fixed the problem - slight underpayment

Good for kids

That is why I am unbothered by ours - the games aren't that good

Not expecting much in terms of graphics, but the games are the problem. More likely to get the Xbox360 just for Halo.
