I have been playing consoles since they were invented....that's right...b4 atari 2600,"oddessy".
Since 1998, I will only play pc games....not to say I don't play console games at friends or work or whatever....still love all games.
The pc will always be generations ahead of the console market; till microsoft finally, and it looks like their getting close: to making a console compatible with the pc.
They are working on game pads now....actually, their pretty much done.
"That is compatible with both, the x-box and pc."
Microsoft has already released a dev platform (xsn or whatever it was) to the pc market.
Pc players WILL be playing x-box players soon..... I hope in crap games like halo too.....so we can end the mouse v.s analog pad debate.
What this all boils down to, get them all.....if you can, if not......get a pc.
Cause soon ........everything is going to be intergraded into a single console...that can do it all on your television set......but, it will be compatible with your pc.
The x-box is a better system ...hardware wise....and it's so much so....that you should not even think of the ps2.
You should wait for the next consoles to come out though really.
Trust this newz............it'z realllllll!

p.s I just saw espn 2004 on ps2.....omg, the swami highlights are still pictures....when the x-box....shows actual ingame footage being played....real highlights of all the td's and whatever. Don't do it....ea and other big games are on the x-box wagon now.....it's only time.......trust me!
