MS never intended to have a dominant market share. They also knew they wouldn't make any money at all from this generation of consoles. They are in it for the long run. The Nextbox is what its all about, and its been that way since day one.
Besides, my hacked box runs Microsoft media center better than any sub-$1000 Home theatre component |

You mean the thing you gotta pay every year (or month)? you're also talking about the system which costs, at the time,$300 which came with a dvd player but you couldn't play dvd movies unless you buy some silly remote ($39.99). So are you trying to say that the only thing good on the xbox is xbox live? Or do you like just playing pc games on a console? |
i already have a dvd player, i dont need one, do i need to go one with waht xbox HAS and PS2 does not, such as superior graphics/performance and a HDD. And xbox LIVE is 50usd a year INCLUDING a head set, which PS2 users must buy seperate and a GT across all games and a friends list. FAR SUPERIOR in my opinion |

It§s too bad I must say I realy had big hopes for the Xbox when it was coming out. It had nice graphic and sound and HALO. But now I must agree Xbox is way behind.
That makes me hapy I invested my money into upgrading my computer insted of something like Xbox hehehehe. |

hehe Game Cube beat out the Xbox for the number two position in sales. Now the order goes:
1st place: ps2
2nd place: Game Cube
3rd place: xbox |
yep, that's because the majority of gamers know that anything made by microsoft is a piece of . I own a PS2 and a Cube. I won't touch an xbox with a ten foot pole, plus, everyone I know that did buy one, has had nothing but problems with it. |

So your saying your $50 a year is better than the $30 one time pay for the headset? how is $50 a year better than only $30?:conf: |

Oh and I think he forgot to add the ps2 users need to buy a hard drive and network adapter to play online games. In my opinion I think xbox has a better online playing system. Xbox is great for modding, check out http://www.xbox-scene.com/ for modding info. I do not hate any of the systems, but why is everyone getting on xbox because it had an ok selling holiday session? I think PS3 and Xbox 2 are going to be great system in the future. |

You do not need to buy the hard drive to play online. I dunno where you heard that at... |

Hard drive is not needed and isn't even released yet, also the ps2 can be bought off the shelf with the network adapter for the same price that you can buy an xbox. |

Oh yeah, and be sure to note that the DVD player "works" right out of the box...you don't need to "unlock" it like you do with the XBox.:rolleyes: |
