Heh, rich I am not. I just shop around for great deals and what not. Plus this is my hobby. Some people collect expensive baseball cards, some buy ridiculously priced sports equipment, I collect vintage and current gaming machines. But you're right harry, if funds are limited and buying an xbox isn't feasible then get the adapter... but if he is thinking about the xbox already there must be some funding there, and whats an extra 40 bucks for the adapter AND the xbox? work a a little overtime
