arden, I was actually referring to your comment: "The only thing keeping xbox alive is Halo"...

And androo..

As for looks, that can be debated all day. The controller issue. I suspect you would probably find the Sony controller more comfortable, because unless im mistaken, you are a young teenager and have smaller hands than an adult, hence a smaller controller is more comfortable. As for the dvd player, yes, you have to buy a DVD Remote to watch dvd's with an xbox, but most places (here in aus. at least) offer deals with an xbox, dvd remote, and a couple of games for a reduced price...

As for the electronics/software argument.

It actually works AGAINST my argument for the xbox, but I wouldnt consider Microsofts effors with software "better", even in relation to sony..

That said, supposedly the xbox works on a stipped down Windows 2000 Kernel (with mods for console purposes obviously)

Also. It suprised me when i found out, But microsoft supplied the OS for a previous game system.. and now i cant remember which one it was. Dreamcast.. or maybe one of the later nintento incarnations.. anyways. They pulled support when the xbox came to life..
