So, which is the best box....

ItBox, Paragon, Gamesnet, Fatbox, Ind:e

They're pretty much the main players in the quiz machine world at the moment, although the main three are paragon, gamesnet and itbox. If you had to put them in order of how much you like the games on each one, right now, what order would you put them in.

Considering the machines i have locally, I'd have to go...

Gamesnet
Paragon
Itbox / Fatbox / Ind:e - pretty much all the same

(some Paragons seem to have utter shite on them, where as at least with ItBox and Gamesnet most boxes are the same, paragons move around in my order dependent on site - however, most by me have a decent selection - apart from the one in the cinema!)

Exact same order as Barry, though why is Gamesnet missing from the poll?

I take it 5 votes for shitbox is some bizarre wind-up.

itBox for me - its pint rest is the most accessible.

I went for Paragon for purely asthetical reasons...

I seem to do better out of these than any others. ItBoxes just seem a joke to me most of the time. Screens seem inherently 'dirty' (the corners must be difficult to clean) and just generally dull. Paragon are popping up more an more around me, and they are just more appealing.

Please note: I don't speak from a money-making point of view when it comes to quizzers. Just a fun experience, and the possibility of getting enough money for an additional pint from 50p...

In the past the ItBox has been the best machine in that it would have had six to eight serious games on - Millionaire not Donkey Derby, Top of the Pops 2 not Texas Hold 'Em, Gold Digger not Monopoly Deluxe ...

Something has however gone badly wrong with the Quality Control at ItBox Central with a steady decline over the last couple of years and now the latest iteration is simply the worst yet. When the Nuts game is one of the best three or four games on there, you know that something is wrong!

I am bored of posts about University Challenge and Carol Vorderman's non existent career (Preumably she has conned everybody she can into putting all their bills into one huge monthy payment to her now)

New poll required.

Agreed! And how things change over 2/3 years!

Gamesnet for me but i just wish it didnt look like a giant stop watch

Formerly itbox when this poll was originally taken. Now firmly Paragon. How times change indeed.

Love the look and style of the paragons but finding one that works seems to be an increasing problem.
