Jumping in here don't even think of an Xbox if you want to go console go w/ PS3 which is as an extra for we linuxers, linux based.. the prices should be dropped to semi reasonable by the time you are interested in actually buying one. ;) The smalled HD is cheaper now and probably will be halved before the end of next year.. if you don't want a console to run all your entertainment it's likely big enough for most any game to come. The other advantage is the network, always on if you have dsl.. but isn't everything ( bleah!) is always free, including the fact they are giving away games to anyone who wants them, and who has an acount.. you sign up at the time you set up the box the first time. Just in case you don't know... Xbox still doesn't have a lot of good let alone great games. And from their attitude towards deveolopers, they are unlikely to do so either. It really isn't good business practice to insult your users, and less smart to insult those you hope to woo to become your suppliers.. Neither of those consoles, nor the Wii is a casual purchase, as each company wants to be the one to control your living room media, but at least Playstation and Wii are open about it... Xbox is still pretending it isn't actually a Windows computer, which it is, but they have control for the first time of all the hardware you use to play the games.. so wont get the damned game back w/ the noise that it wont play on your computer. ( And we know how BG loves control of everything the user can do ) And at least the Playstation or the Wii will ask you if you want it to control you telly picture.. I doubt those are options w/ The Xbox .. My grandosn wanted and got an Xbox, and he has turned it into a linux computer.. he uses the family playstation2 for games. Seems after Socom and Halo nothing happened much.. And my husband says the extra souped up graphics stop imediately the game begins.. it looks like every other game console. Of course we are a bit anachronistic about consolse since we started w/ the PC engine a million years ago, and still wish they would re release some of the older games. Even might finlay buy a psp if they would Y's was a great game full of surprises but I digress -- j Playstation underground since 1996 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
