The only other real advantage to the old XBox over PS was it's Live format. But I don't even use my console online. Plus, I imagine the PS3 will improve on it's online performance.

The ultimate status symbol of geekhood is having the newest, most expensive, geekiest toys FIRST. Therefore, rather than actually battling for geek titles, (they are simply geeks after all) they just waited around doing nothing for hours in order to prove their geekiness.

This doing nothing activity will now continue for months and months to come for those who managed to get an Xbox. Except now they'll have flashing pictures in front of them and a controller in their hand.

Kapish?

A hard drive allows for faster load times becuase much of the game is installed onto the hard drive. Plus you can throw on music to listen to if you don't like a games soundtrack. Also, it allows for extra content to be released for particular games. For example, you could download new Halo 2 maps through Live. Of course, these maps would be far to big to fit on a memory card.

I mean, I'm sure its gonna look kick ass, and the specs prove that its gonna be stronger than "360", but it really doesn't sway me. Their exclusive lineup of games is getting weaker, and not stronger. Thats enough for me. haha!
And by exclusive lineup...I'm talkin the good ones. I know I'll get shot for this, but the Resident Evil game sucks. Like J. Edgar "sucks".....

I need me a 360.....I think I'd just about eat a pile of turd if I could track one down right about now.

But xbox live is a paid subscription isn't it? The Japanese Nintendo 64 basically had those capabilities as well with the 64DD.
