I'm promised my Demo unit tomorrow - but I wont hold my breath. I'll post any issues and news here (and only here) obviously.

Has anyone got any info on this rumour I have heard .... You can run any PC game on an X-Box if you buy an "enabler". Theory sounds good as it is basically a PC but I can't believe that MS would have done that so they can re-sell the same old games.

Yep me to! However if the X-Box is a PC, then any decent PC will be able to play the games once the top guyz create an emulator <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

when into dixons today and saw a x-box in action with a demo disk in and the graphics were umbelievable but the price was as well you could buy a complete pc for the price of a x-box,the most expensive package was over £500 for about 4 games plus you need a add on to watch dvds but you got that with it...zooropa
