Peeps-it's worth noting that Amazon are selling the Crystal Xbox for (slightly) less than Game, & we also have an affiliate deal with them, so the site will still make something if you order through Amazon. :)

And the menu system and DVD work a lot quicker than my old box.

Matuka 23-03-2004 16:31

Re: Xbox Crystal Console
 
I ordered one today, its my eldest lads Bday shortly & as he wants a box, this is the cheaper option as it has 2 controllers with it.

I am however slightly concerned about the durability of the plastic as clear plastic is generally more brittle than black.

Matuka 23-03-2004 16:36

Re: Xbox Crystal Console
 
Hmm, using the forums game link we only get 1400 reward points?

Do we get more in store?

Must have points, Must have points, Must have points...

2800 if you preordered it I think, now you are just purchasing it, so you get the normal 1400 points.

Is that true? You see I am going to buy one but was going to the black one as the other hardware such as wires and Live headset and remote are all black and my tv holder wich has 3 levels is black so my xbox would fit in. But if there is a performacne diffrance i would get the clear

DrAwesome 27-03-2004 20:04

I bought a Crystal X today and the menu sys is just as quick as my Ltd green xbox.

I had an original release date Xbox so my new one one works a lot faster with a new DVD drive etc.

My girlfriend hates my Crystal Xbox she thinks it looks half finished.

Scotty306 28-03-2004 16:04

Re: Xbox Crystal Console
 
Let's hope she doesn't decide to 'finish it' for you !!

I like the Crystal xBox as it makes it look a little smaller.


I'm still getting used to PGR2(my only game) but feel free to add me to your freinds lists. I'm very proud of my 'tag' :D

It's the 20 games that are installed on the 160 gig drive that will be the selling point there. ;)

Thats all well and good getting the games on the hard drive but what if the poor sucker that buys it wants to play them on live.

Surley unless the mods are turned on you wont be able to play them?

And we all know that when the chips on then live just bans you!
