hello all, im thinking of buying a x-box

[De_Druid]

well to be honest i am sick of reading reviews, because at the minute every body has so many different opinions of the x-box. so i figured the best people to ask about it is people with it and i dont know any on with it so i decieded to ask ye. so guy what is the general oppinion.
and is it true that you cant watch dvds on it without the remote and thing
