Microsoft, the maker of Xbox, says it will be the first console to have games that look like films and TV, where you can be the hero and save the world.
But it isn't in the shops in Britain until March next year and will cost £299. If you can't wait, Playstation 2 is still worth buying.
But the Xbox promises to be the must-have games console for 2002.
