[Vicious_2003]

Just wanted to make it clear that their were other outlying factors that caused me to switch, such as the fact that my PS2 wasn't working well and was headed for the scrap heap, I couldn't even sell it to any stores that bought used game stuff because it didn't load the games up immediately, I always had to go to the browser and click on the disc to start it up. Also I had everything I ever saved get deleted because my official Sony memory card unformatted itself over night !. Dont ask me how that happened. That made the X Box's hard drive all the more inciting. And just some responses to the replies I read.

1. X Box Live only costs 50 bucks . A one time fee to buy the headset and what not. But no extra fees are certain yet and its very possible (Probable) That they wont be charging anything monthly after the year is up. Also someone mentioned that they didnt like that the the X Box requires the remote to play dvd's and that it costs 50 dollars. First of all it doesn't cost that much, maybe it did when it came out but I saw it yesterday for 29.99. Also the PS2 didn't come with a friggin hard drive and they have the nerve to charge 200 bucks for it separate (PS2 hard drive will come with a keyboard, mouse, etc...!!. WTF that means a PS2 with hard drive is 400 dollars while an X Box comes with one and only costs 200. 212.48 after tax . Oh and lets not mention the network adapter which was 40 dollars, makes the little 30 dollar DVD remote look like Small potatoes (Also you need the update that comes with the PS2 remote to play Region 2 DVD's I do believe)
