Arden,
The reason I say everyone having broadband is bad is because, while it is becoming alot more common (and better to use), a lot of people I know (and people I don't) still cannot afford it... it would be nice to at least have the option of dial-up. I believe it is still too early to just claim dial-up is obsolete and alienate it's users... but I guess that is what you must do to advance technology.

And yes, I do acknowledge that the Xbox would (probably... this is arguable) not have taken off without Bungie's Halo... but what is so bad about that? Is it really that weird to have stellar launch titles?

MACER,
Is racing your only favorite gaming genre? What others do you like? If racing is your absolute favorite, I would highly recommend the PS2. The Xbox does have racing games, but none as deep as GT (again, in my opinion).

Gran Turismo is, and will always be, king of all racing games, in my book.

Gran Turismo is awesome, high learning curve (at least for me), but the real reason i love my PS/2 is the Grand Theft Auto Vice City, it is amazingly fun and addictive, plus the music that comes with it makes it that much better

I think for MS dial-up is out of the equation for Xbox more for practicality than for persuasion. To get good online gameplay, you need a fat connection, and it helps to be able to just plug it in and be online than have to dial up your ISP to get on.

As for the Halo issue, Johnny pretty much confirmed what I was saying about it. How many people do you think have an Xbox simply for Halo? Without this game, the Xbox would pretty much be a nonplayer.

My friend has Xbox for Halo. But, he recently got a couple other games.

I have been Nintendo all the way...however I did not buy a Gamecube. I think I am through with consoles. If I had to pick between PS 2 or XBOX, I'd pick PS2, because they have an amazing game selection.

Which is better a pc or a mac?

Before I start a flame war think about it, that question will never be resolved neither will the console war.

I own all three next gen consoles, purely because they each have their good points and there bad points. Get the system that 'grabs' you the most, that has the games and lifestyle you want.
