I have yet to upgrade to the next-generation (my MP3 player only holds about 100 songs), but no way in heck am I going to buy an unoriginal, crappy Microsoft product. I have Windows XP Pro because I have to have it, but I've made some changes to make it function like Mac OS X.

I'll never forget how excited I was about the Xbox only to be very disappointed after a few days of use. The graphics were acceptable, but the selection of games and the "fun factor" just wasn't there. Having to buy a $30 remote control to play DVDs only made me hate my Xbox even more. I considered a number of options, including turning it into a low-end PC, but in the end decided that it would be best just to sell it.

I have had great fun with my XBOX, with all the "fun factor" and games I ever needed, and much better graphics than the PS2 or GC.
Got my unit of the superb 360 the very first day it came out, and have been having great fun playing it since.

Ummmm....it tells you that before you buy it. Plus its by far the best value of that generation of games consoles, even after paying extra for the remote control.
Not to mention, it sold more units than the GC worldwide, even though it was Microsoft's very first games console, and Nintendo had been in that business for over 20 years.

What more ya got?
