        Other...PC...now that Halo is officially coming out for the PC, the Xbox lost all interest for now. PS2 has Devil May Cry and GT3, which are both awesome games. Haven't dived into anything else yet. Gamecube actually looks like the sleeper hit in the console world. Nintendo just needs to let developers release more mature titles for it and it'll rule the market.

            I'd take them all... But at the moment I'd take the PS2 because I just love driving games and Gran Turismo 3 is one of the best.

              I'd take ‘em all too, but at the end of the day it’s down to titles. The Xbox is v. nice though, I friend of mine is developing a title for it at the moment and it looks great!

              I think I''ll be buying a set of Japanese controllers though the US/European ones are HUGE! I’m 6’6”, with big hands and I find them uncomfortable to hold.

                According to the latest official figures, 43% of all statistics are totally worthless...

                  I guess I should have been more specific. I meant "other" as another console. I wanted to keep PC's out of this.

                    Mmmm... local store had enough XBoxes to fill their preorders, but not enough DVD remote controls. Hasn't anyone told these console idiots that their shiny new toy can't REALLY play DVD's like a set-top box?

                    Gotta love it. I've seen videos from a PS2. It's laughable, really. I'm not imagining the XBox to be much better... unless Microsoft licensed a nice copy of PowerDVD to ship with each unit.

                      I picked up an Xbox for the kids for Xmas. If I can get the kids out of the house for a couple of hours, I might set it up to get a sneak peek.
                      I'm not sure what to expect from the title selection... So far I've got a bundle of 5 titles (Halo, football, car racing, and a couple others).
                      My rig: P4 3.0GHz; Asus P4C800E; 1GB DDR 3200; AIW Radeon 9800 Pro; WD 120GB SATA; Plextor DVD burner; Liteon DVD reader; Audigy 2ZS; Logitech Z560 4.1; NEC FE991SB

                      Kid's rig: AMD XP 1600+; 512MB ram; GF4 Ti4600; Maxtor 60GB; Plextor CD burner; Sony DVD reader; SB Live; Cambridge 4.1 speakers; NEC FE991SB

                      Other kid's rig: Athlon 2700+; ASUS A7N8X mobo; 512MB PC3200 ram; GF4 Ti4600; Maxtor 80GB; SB Live; Cambridge 2.1; NEC FE991SB; Liteon DVD-ROM

                        Halo is very nifty. Project Gotham Racing is also very nifty.

                        Other than that, it's the usual melange of horrible sports titles and horrible fighting titles and horrible miscellaneous titles.

                          On a bit of a tangent, one of the hardware sites has already taken an X-Box apart for dissection.
