Some of the incentive points I've been building up in advertising programs at my work just cashed in. I got an X-box.
I shall now see what all the fuss is about. And if God doesn't speak directly to me through it, I'm giving it to Kayten and going back to my PC full-time.
Grats Tarryk. Although god will not speak directly to you unless you chip it and install a 40-120GB HD for games and sream video content over a SMB network. It's worth it. Otherwise the xbox is just a meek ps2 copy.
There are some pretty awesome game titles out there though.
dude, wrong, wrong console (at least until the 360 comes out). Only Jesus Speaks through the X-Box, God speaks through the PS2 (graphics are worse, but games are better), The Holy Spirit speaks through the Game Cube... don't know why...
although when i reconsider. God will be speaking through the ps3 and the sidearm psp. But the xbox is a doorstop without the chip, have you chipped it yet? =D
Okay, so while I DID have a computer first in my life, I grew up as a total console junkie...

X-Box is good for two games. Dead or Alive 3, which is a kick as beat-'em-up. And the whole Oddworld series has been cancelled for PC and will from here on only be brought on X-Box. God I hate you Gates!!!
Oddworld for teh pwn!
(The observant forum viewer will now notice where my forum name comes from, and probably also see why it's a rather fitting name really...)
The only way God will speak to you through your xbox is if you get xbox live and get that little headset that comes with the xbox live starter package.
Then God and all the demi-gods like xxxgodxxx and 6969god6969 will be able to talk to you in all of their pre-pubescent 11 year old screaching voices.
I do think essentially X-Box is a bit better than PS2, but again each has it's own titles you can only get there so that is always a factor in which one somebody might favor. Thankfully for you GTA:SA is out for X-Box now.
And I guess it's alright my Gamecube is talking to me if it's the Holy Spirit. I'll start doing the things it's telling me to now. Hmm, where did I put that ax?
I'm quite sure the Xbox won't drain from any significant amount of free time I like to pretend that I have. I have zero interest in consoles, I'm just getting it because it's free, and more useful than "just" a DVD player.
You forgot to mention that it has the Oddworld series, which is obviously more important than DvD's... But since your sig is a predator-hunt-mode screen of a nose it's ok. You can get away with not mentioning things that go without saying then. You're forgiven ^^
All obey teh nose!
And Oddworld...
