We had some friends over this weekend to cookout and of course I had to show off my XBox just for a minute or two. My wife came home today and said one of the girls at work, who was over this weekend with her husband, bought an XBOX for her husband for his B-Day today because he was so impressed with mine. That makes 4 not counting the 4 I gave away at Xmas. Gotta pimp the XBOX. Anybody else sold any?

I feel like an Xbox priest , I've converted 6 so far three in one day hanging out in Best buy, The sales clerks were at first annoyed But they thought the Xbox was exactly like Ps2 or Gamecube!! , so I set them straight , so I don't know how many more were sold because of my teaching them , I even suggested a board with all three specs so the customer could compare , all three at once , I called it a "pros and Cons Board" ....the sales clerks thought it would be cool, but I thought they had something sorta like it already....or at least should, any way

the other was to my brother, that was an easy sell beause whatever I buy or collect he does also, the other two were to friends one friend was easy My last convert was harder because He is a Nintendo Fanboy from the utter depths of Hell, He wanted to buy Gamecube just for metroid prime , and Zelda but I showed him my copy of last weeks extended play and he saw the Graphics for Zelda, he had a frown and then said ....Im getting an xbox!!

heheheheh...so nintendo sold that xbox really,,,Thanks Nintendo!!

I work part-time at an Electronics Retailer (thanks to the economy) and I had this customer call in tonight asking if he can return an unopened XBox without a receipt. I asked him why the hell would he want to trade in his XBox? He said that he got it as a gift but really wanted a PoS2 instead.

I, then, asked him if he knew anything about the XBox. He replied by saying "no". I then proceeded to tell him about it and he couldn't believe what he was hearing! Here he had at his home the best gaming console to ever hit the consumer marketplace and didn't know it!!!

He said that he's going to keep it and the first game he is going to buy is Halo. He never even heard of it!!! :rolleyes:

Man, he picked the wrong dude to ask if he could return an XBox!!! :D

Way to go, max. You sure are up awefully late for a man with a job :) I talked 9 of my friends into getting them within a week after I got it. Actually, it required no talking. They just played it.

Dude, just playing the XBox is all it takes...the idiot I had on the phone didn't even pull his out of the box! But, then again, he didn't even own a game yet....I tell you, some people are just plain idiots! :(

The clock just struck midnight here...I'm going to hit the sack soon. So, you work the nightshift? I have to be up in about 6 1/2 hours to be at work again. :)

Well with summer in full gear my friends will be on the Xbox a lot more. One is already wanting to purchase one after playing some extended sessions of 4 player Rallisport.

Oh man...some of the best times I've had with my buddies, setting Halo aside for a moment, was playing 4-player Rallisport!

By the way, when you and your friends played Rallisport, were you guys yelling off the top of your lungs and laughing your asses off? Man, we must have done that the entire time!! hehe...could have been the beer, too, though :D

As you know, I'm a die hard fan of RSC...it's arguably the best racer I've ever played and I've played a lot of them :)

U described our experience to a tee. We don't drink, well except Coke and unfortunately Pepsi when I allow it in my home, so I can definitely rule out the beer as the root of the fun. It's definitely Rallisport's excellent 4 player action.

Two friends (one a ps2 owner) are getting xbox's after playing Halo, ISS 2 and FIFA 2002, another friend is getting one coz he loves project gotham racing.

They all just needed a little push... and an ass kicking on halo!
