Baldur's gate 2 had a lot of bugs too. Some of them were only fixed by fans. I really can't remember a non-console game that didn't need a patch. Console games usually don't have patches. If I were unwilling to go on the internet I would buy an Xbox personally.
Of course I wish the first version would have no bugs too though! We can only ask (the developers).

But no game stoppers. You can play it successfully out of the box. I did, all the way through.

What the developers don't seem to realise though is that in a few years nobody will be able to play their games - once the games get older, fewer websites are going to have the patches, so if the game is unplayable out of the box ...
I still play many older games, and so do my friends, but with the way games are going its going to be hard finding the required patches to play modern games in 10 years or so.

I've thought about it! But I don't have a clue how to play an XBox; I don't fancy joystick controls at all; they are quite expensive still; and this PC isn't that old, so ... I probably won't.
But I have a Nintendo DS Lite...

Except that console games often tend to be a completely different kettle of fish...
