Is the XBox dead?

That's really quite sad. Have developers really pushed this console to its limits?

I mean quality rather than quantity. I'd rather have something 'pick up and play' rather than a huge campaign based game.

Gridrunner, tempest, llamatron that sort of stuff. If the xbox is dead then maybe it's time to start thinking of chipping it so that I can play all the llamasoft classics on it.

Too bad MS doesn't do a low cost XNA on Xbox or something

According to this http://www.talkxbox.com/screenshots447.html Xyanide is out now. The price is in $ though, maybe it's a USA only release ? or maybe there just isnt a Uk date set yet. Either way, it's release was 18th July.

Amazon.com has them for anyone interested.

Amazon.co.uk however has no matches.

EBay has one for about Â£9 - it's in the USA though.

Plenty of life in the old black box yet...

That looks interesting...As it's only $20 i'll certainly pick up a copy when i'm next in the US.

In Game they've decided to mark all the games up 3 for 2 or Â£9.99 each, and they're isn't much in the huge pile worth Â£6.66 *meh*

I'll check out Gamestation later today. Might get Gauntlet 7 Sorrows if I see it cheap enough.
