I was not able to wait: I had to get two more controllers (so that I have all 4), Dead or Alive 3 and Rallisport Challenge. I am figuring, I have to be able to show these games to interested people to motivate them to buy an XBOX.

I was planning to get it directly from the Austrian wholesale distributor but the Saturn/Media Markt chain of stores where selling it today at 399 which is even below what they are paying for it. So the decision was clear: get it today. I bought Halo and Mad Dash Racing with the XBOX to get some demo material, the other games that I am interested in, I am going to buy from the distributor, where I get them much cheaper.
At the same time I have started playing Metal Gear Solid 2 on a borrowed PS2, because I just love MGS. The coming weekend Maria is abroad so I’ll stay in bed and just game like crazy.
