You Can Not Escape from Mr. Xbox!
My dad participated in an office charity raffle that was raising money for cancer research. One of the prizes was a donated Microsoft Xbox and my dad won it. He has no interest in owning an Xbox and he is giving it to me.
So I guess that fate had just determined that I shall be blessed or cursed with the black and green might of the Xbox. I am not exactly sure where I am going to put it on my coffee table of gaming goodness but I am sure that I will find a place. I have tried to escape from the dopness of Mr. Xbox but he is a sly one.
I guess I can get SNK VS Capcom SVC Chaos on Xbox and Knights of the Old Republic 2.

Galleon (cheap fun pirate entertainment) and Splinter Cell Chaos Theory (perfect boring stealth game).

The Xbox is actually pretty rockin'. If Microsoft would stick to their strengths -- game consoles and mice -- and give up this futile operating system gambit, imagine how much money they could make. %)

SVC Chaos is decent, but the hit detection is off on some of the sprites, so it looks like you hit, but you actually aren't.
I know you like SF3, I would pick up the Street Fighter Anniversary Collection, it includes SF3 Third Strike as well as the Anniversary edition of SF2.
There is a whole list of really good games I could recommend. Alot of them have been out for a while so you can pick them up for a budget price.

I already have played SVC Chaos on my freinds import modded PS2 and I love it. I also have Street Fighter Anniversary Collection on the PS2 and I do like it.
I just want to get the handfull of good Xbox only games.

Don't get SVC!
That game is GARBAGE!
One button infinite combo's, and random hit boxes make the game absolulty a chore to play.
If you want real gaming goodness on xbox, get Street fighter Aniversary collection. It has Hyper street fighter 2 (Not Street fighter 2 turbo hyper fighting.) This version lets you choose what version from street fighter 2 you want to play as, because as we know, characters were changed over time for balance, new moves, etc.
But it also has street fighter 3: Third Strike.
If you still havn't played that game, you're in for a treat.
Both games, FAR better than SVC. And it's only $30.00
