Vicnuts that's the risk you take by being an early adopter and, no offence meant, by not doing some research.
The only consoles I buy blindly are Nintendo's with the exception of the Virtual Boy.
I only ever wanted a PS2 for MGS2 so waited a year after the UK release of the machine before even thinking of buying it. Thankfully, a lot more games to my taste started to emerge at that time.
I've been the owner of an Xbox for a month and it was the console purchase I had to think most about without a doubt. The only game I wanted was Halo and I knew that was coming to PC anyway (along with several others). If the machine had more true exclusives rather than 'here first' exclusives, i.e. Halo, KOTOR, I guess the decision wouldn't have been so hard.
Anyway, a couple of games that I am interested in were on the horizon - Ninja Gaiden, Fable - and a good deal came my way so I took the plunge and bought an Xbox. I also adopted the line of thinking that I would purchase 3D action adventures for the Xbox since I don't use a gamepad with my PC.
So far I'm more than happy with it. There are also plenty of second-hand games around so I don't have to spend vast amounts of money either. Also, I now get to choose from three versions when a multi-format title is released.
Still getting KOTOR on PC, however. A recent report stated that the PC version gets all the upgrades that won't be available until next year on Xbox Live. Plus anything else that does get released on Live first will be made available as a patch.
