SwIm!! U gotta read about what Xbox has coming up. Online gaming is gonna be awesome. Xbox will have titles like Project Ego, Unreal Championship, Star Wars: KOTOR, SW galaxies, MGS substance, brute force, halo 2....theres so many! The price gap between Xbox and PS2 for the online costs are very different. For Xbox, all u need to pay is $49.99 for a year's subscription and the voice communicator, no game fees. For PS2, you need a $40 modem, an $80 hard drive (for games such as FFXI), plus game fees. PS2 is much more expensive. Xbox will begin to show its true power graphicswise. I think that many ppl are going to buy Xbox soon. There are 250 games to come out before 2003. It'll be awesome. The sales arent great right now, but its only been out 6 months! PS2 wasnt doing good when it was 6 months old! Give it time, and you'll see how good it is!
