It still won't play mp3's though..... (or copy them to the HD) I'm sad about that unless there is something I'm missing. CFizz

Those games are the great ones! I really like this system and it's only starting. I have the games there plus about 10 others. Spiderman is the latest one I picked up, not bad.

You can always get the smaller controller in the future since it's out now. It is nice. I have both the Japanese one and the new smaller one...later. :)

Yeah, Since the X-Box is the new kid on the block I kinda lean it's way. It has so much going for it right now. So much so Sony is already planning on a 3rd system and they have even come out and said 'They must do something!' I'm very pleased with it and it's games. I just don't seem to have the time to play it like I want.

I even have a GameCube but I only have a couple of games for it. I'm not to excited about it. X-Box and PS2 are what I"ll stay with..... cya!

You can't go wrong with either system........ (you don't have to buy a HD for the X-box) :cool:

funny you should mention the gamecube i think im gonne get one of those tooo but much later in the year [ even though i cursed the N64 and vowed nevr to buy Nintendo again]

i wonder what else the xbox can do...... have you got the dvd add on? what you think of it?

i have the dvd add-on..for me it works much better than the obsolete ps2 dvd playback..ps2 would never play my dvd's right..haven't had a problem with any dvd i've tried so far with x-box.

Yes, I have the DVD add-on and I can say it is very nice. (Way better than the PS2's for sure!) Still though a good DVD player is better. A system is for gaming but it's nice to have it around... :cool:

i can't wait for the x-box head-set..from what i've read about it's involvment with the ps2 game socom(don't remember this part) looks 2 be a cool additive 2 the gaming experience

no this is like a communications thing,you talk to other people..would mostly be used for online play,but some games will have voice recongnition stuff...it's just like the thing a person uses at a drive-thru

here's what it looks like:
