Hey Spank, It's not too fair to compare the Xbox with the Microsoft Software packages
But It does carry on that "95%" completion feel, like you
had to buy the Remote control (I think the remote comes with the 'box as standard now) if you wanted to play DVD's, that pissed me off as I could Play DVD's on my PS2 straight out of the Box. Plus, why can't these damn consoles get they're on-line capabilites off as soon as they are on sale *grumble*, I mean come on, the Dreamcast could (Does anyone know when the networks for Gamecube, PS2 and Xbox will be available in the UK if they are not already?)
But yeah, Microsoft is a rip-off merchant, what do you expect from the guy who got to be the Richest man in the world by screwing over IBM eh?
