I'm backing this up 100%. The pc versions are better anyway.

The XBox has like no exclusive titles. You can do everything on an XBox that you can do on a [censored]-decent PC and a PS2. Cept Ninja Gaiden, which sucked IMO.

Egh, even so, Xbox may still be a good investment. Games like KOTOR take up to 2 gigs for installation and I need that precious hard disk space on my PC for other things.

<hr /></blockquote>

If HD space is all you're worried about, you could spend the $200 on more of it (I'm covering the cost of a game).

Why I won't sell my XBox: ESPN videogames, and the [censored] continually delayed Fable. It better be good.

Can't rent a PC game.

That philosophy can be applied to any console dating back over a decade. The XBox isn't the only system available with rentable games.

Yes, but if you must make a choice between the same game on PS2, Xbox, or GC (excluding online compatibility issues), you have to take Xbox every time. The system just has better specs than the rest.

So $200 for a graphics upgrade? That's fair.
