Hey gaseous :) Welcome to the forums! If you are actually looking for a decent debate as to which console to buy if you can only get one, you might want to post this in the console debate forum. You will encounter a lot of biased opinion here. Oh, and just offhand here are some things you will get from the xbox that you won't from any other system

Built in hard-drive
Built in ethernet
in game dolby 5.1 coding capable sound
3 billion dollar gaming network courtesy of MS
tight exclusives such as Halo, Hunter and more
tighter exclusives yet to come (*cough*project ego*cough*)
Ability to rip music to HD for soudntracks to certain games
Free online play now for certain games via XBConnect

Well if you have done any research on the console, then u know what its capable of. I personally think it’s a great console with many unique features. There’s some great games coming out for the Xbox, plus the Xboxonline experience, which I’m sure will be amazing, with its voice communicator and voice manipulating feature…

So if you like the look, and what you have heard then get the X. If not try looking at other consoles. It should be what u think will provide you with the most gaming pleasure….


Hope this helps
:D

i wouldn't bother with max payne, that game takes all of 5 hours to beat. Check out Hunter, morrowing (if you have to have rpgs), and... umm... what type of games do you like?

cuz playing games on the computer makes you a nerd.
xbox is a scoial thing.
xbox (and ps2 for that matter) is for cooler people. But if you play too much, youre still considered a nerd.
Halo is a wicked game.
get it now!!

This is the best time to buy an xbox a lot more games came out and the price dropped to 199.00. xbox future titles are spectacular. There’s no better time to be an xbox owner, I know the feeling since nov 15th.

Really, all you have to do is look at what kind of games you like. Then pick the consol that has a plethera of those games.
