Xbox 1 was ?799 when it was launched.

You have to be patient and wait a year or so.
I still have my PS2 and may...just may go for a PS3.

Still.....Holden MacGroyn

I'm with Holden.

I'll be getting the PS3 when it arrives because it plays PS2 games unlike the Xbox360 which they still don't know if they can get it to work with the Xbox1 games! Yes the Xbox is a better machine but the PS has more games and is the market leader!

But then as with all technology it's out of date as soon as it's released!

If you don't want to pay through the nose you wait,its par for the course

My parents paid AUS1300 back in 1975 for a video recorder,within 2 years they were AUS400

If you wait long enough you'll find that one superseded as you say by something supposebly better

Some games will work with tye 360 as the rest read following statement from
link to site



Following earlier indications that the Xbox 360 will only be backwards compatible with some Xbox games, Microsoft has admitted that existing software will need to be recompiled before it can be run on the new console.

The problem, it says, is down to hardware incompatibility - since the current Xbox uses an Intel processor, but the 360 will use IBM's PowerPC architecture, while NVIDIA's graphics solution is being replaced with an ATI one.

As many commentators have pointed out over the last few months, this means backwards compatibility problems. The solution Microsoft has reached is apparently to recompiled current-gen Xbox games so that they can be played on the 360. First on the list, it says, are the best-selling Halo titles.

The news has raised more questions than it answers, however, as it suggests that game titles may need to be modified somehow before players can use them on their new consoles - but Microsoft has denied that it will ask players to pay for new versions of the software.
