Asher, the champion of Microsoft returns, lol. The Xbox is waaay better than the other two systems, but at least half the games that Asher mentioned I think are absolute crap (namely any Star Wars game, Project Gotham, and any DOA game). The other games though... Halo 2 is going to be twice as good as any game that could ever be made for the PS2 or GameCube.

However, I pretty much think that 95% of all games are crap, so the Xbox is doing pretty well. Many people gave Metroid Prime the game of the year and quite frankly, that game sucks. Seriously, a FPS where you can't strafe. How dumb is that?

Bioware is doing KOTOR...I doubt it'll be "absolute crap".

I also think that the MSR/Project Gotham series is awesome, it's a mix of Tony Hawk and a racing game. Right up my alley, really.

And DOA is DOA. DOA3 isn't the best fighter of all time, but it's still damn good. And DOA Online will be incredibly kickass because it's DOA2 rendered with the DOA3 engine, and DOA3, online!

Since when has Asher been promoting Xbox? I thought he would wait for a console that he could run his Win XP on.

the ps2 is the best console out right now, if microsoft continues to create gaming consoles than it is the future. If not then i think we're going to see the ps3 dominating the next half decade. As far as nintendo is concerned, it died at the creation of N64, that was the crappiest system Ive ever had the displeasure of playing. The Sega Saturn had better games than it

Soul Calibur 2 better come out before I move to Japan. I'll be pretty pissed off if I end up having to import a US version after all this time.

if u think about it the 200 dollars I spent on modding and getting an arcade stick doesnt only apply to playing SC2, so its not that bad.

It was a gift. I'd have rather gotten a PS2 but I couldn't take it back. I got a lemon and it broke down on me so I used my warranty to take it back. I was right in the middle of Morrowind and, in utter shame, used the money I got from the warranty to buy another xbox. To make matters worse, my game disk for Morrowind is damaged so I can't even finish the game I was playing.

I should have gotten a PS2 but I have a knack for picking losers. Anybody remember the Atari 5200 or the TurboGraphics 16?

If you want RPG, racing games, console type FPS's, and anything by KOEI games (www.koeigames.com) then PS2 is the way to go baby!!!!

Now I don't own an xbox or have even spent any decent time with one so to be fair I will not pass judgement on xbox. I do know however that I will not give bill gates any more money though!

Harry, you might be surprised to hear this, but I'm guessing your Morrowind disc isn't broken at all. That game has a serious, serious bug on the Xbox that causes the game to start giving dirty disc errors when your save file becomes too large. The problem has to do with Morrowind not correctly using the Xbox cache (i.e. some stuff isn't cleared when it thinks it is). Pretty soon the cache overflows and when that happens, the system gives a dirty disc error.

The only way I know of to avoid this is to save and reset the Xbox all the time. Annoying, but it will let you play.

I've heard that but I can't open maps, save my game, or walk more than twenty minutes without it freezing. This is right at load without saving (unless it freezes during the first save). Very disappointing. In a marvelous display of maturity after the game froze up after one glorious hour without saving once, I whipped my disk into my living room wall with some fantastic expletive combos. It's pretty scratched up now and I haven't played it since. I may borrow my brother's copy; he hasn't had nearly as many problems as I've had and he bought his disk much later than I did.

Also, another reason I mentioned the bad disc was I had a friend that bought a basketball game that wouldn't play correctly. There didn't appear to be anything wrong with the game disc itself but after he traded it in for another copy it played flawlessly.

Bethesda as annouced Morrowind GOTY edition for the Xbox. It will include the original game plus the two expansion packs: Tribunal and Bloodmoon. Lets hope they'll fix a bug or two...

Don't worry. Microsoft is actually losing around $100 for every Xbox they sell .

True, but I actually get ALL my games for free. The local game crazy store gives away tons of credits for game tournaments on whatever every week or two. So far I've got 4 games, an Xbox, a live kit, a second controller, and I still have credit

Arizona. Game Crazy is part of Hollywood Video. AFAIK, all stores are allowed to hold a tournament at least once a month. Prizes are 30 to 10 dollars in credit. Some of the tournaments previously have been sponsored by microsoft, so the winner gets a free game or something then. I picked up Halo and Rallisport that way. And the beauty here is, not many people know about it, so competition is easy.
