    Should I buy an Xbox?

    Just wanting some opinions. So far the only Xbox exclusive game that has interested me is Halo. Is that enough to warrant a purchase? Games on multiple platforms don't matter to me as I don't really care about the difference in graphics. So, basically is there any other games I am missing on Xbox?

    Get it. I did. Traded in my PS2 for one, and I haven't looked back. You won't be sorry.

        They should be lowering the price of the XBOX later this month,so It might be wise to wait a few weeks,unless you have extra money to blow.(Estimated price drop$149.99)

                I bought my XBox about a year ago when the price dropped from $299 to $199 and I have enjoyed it ever since. The main reason is that I play mostly sports games so games like Halo and other RPG and FPS games did not factor into my decision to buy the system. What did push me over the edge is of course the price drop, but also the fact that I now do not need to worry about memory cards and being that many franchises take up 1 to 2 MBs of memory space on a PS 2 memory card, I can save as many franchises as I want and still have choke space for ripping MP3's. At $149.99 that would make getting an xbox a no-brainer. Plus the graphics are really nice and the Xbox is a decent DVD player as well. Hope this helps.

                            If the mulit-platform games don't matter, there are the MS sports games like NBA Inside Drive. To me, that game is worth owning the system for if you like pro basketball. NHL Rivals looks promising and the Sega Sports franchises are considerably better on Xbox. Xbox Live is the best online gaming service as well provided that you have broadband. If you prefer EA Sports, however, you'll only be able to play their games online for PS2.

                            Do you like other types of games? PS2 still has the best lineup of third party games from Japanese developers like Capcom, Konami, Square, etc. Games like Winning Eleven, the new Castlevania game, Sega's revival of Altered Beast, and others may interest you.

                            If you could own both, that would be ideal. Xbox for sports, online gaming, and exclusive games that utilize its power, and PS2 for its third party/Japanese studio games.
