For me way back in the very beggining of 2002 I was at a friends house and was brought out of the darkness and into the light and glory known as Halo: Combat Evolved. This event saved me from making the dreadful mistake of buying the Game Cube and directed me towards the greatness of the XBOX. I was just curious to see if Halo was the decieing factor for you getting a Xbox.

Halo was the only reason I bought an XBOX. For awhile, it was the only game I had on XBOX as well. I had the other consoles (Gamecube & PS2), but I found that everyone wanted to play Halo. Eventually, we played so much that, to me, it seemed as if time slowed down during matches. I was seeing things before they even happened. My friends would get pissed and not play for days. But they always came back...

I got my Halo and XBox right when they came out... so it didn't really play a role at all for me.... although it was the first game I bought. I didn't buy it cause of it's rep or anything... I just remember an add I saw for it with MC running across Halo (the level) shooting his AR... I just figured it looked like a cool game and I had nothing else to play so why not.

I have influenced at least 5 of my friends into getting one by playing Halo with them though.... and I'm getting kind of off topic and chatty so I'm just going to stop now.

Halo is the reason I bought an X-Box. Even to this day, the only games I own are Halo CE, Halo2, Counter-Strike, and DDR-Ultramix.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

MY brother told me to get XBOX just for halo. I listend to him and the week xbox and Halo came out I got it and am still playing.

It seems the first choice is the majority... which is not surprising in Bungie forums, "Home of Halo" >. >
btw, Satanic Teddy, why do you have my profile, under your sig, directed by the link "Dumbest Person Ever" ? I find that offensive. And please reconsider your choice of that subject, because I doubt that the word "Dumbest" even exist in the dictionary.

Haha, results are pretty funny - soon the meaning of Bungie will change from "a software distributor" to "a marketing tool" I got an xbox just for halo...

I actually didn't buy HALO for xbox before I got HALO 2

I fell in love with halo through the PC edition on HALO
