wow thats interesting thanks for the post.

I got an Xbox now, I traded it to my brother in law for my PS2.  I have mixed feelings about whether I'm sold on Xbox or not.  The built in blue tooth for PS is pretty cool though but I think they kill themselves when they don't include a hard drive (but that's good sales technics now you have to spend $$$ extra to buy it)

Personally I would rather have the Xbox 360. I love the fact that I don't have to wait all day long for my NCAA 2005 games to load in my current Xbox unlike my friends who have the "better" console in the PS2. Sure the PS2 is good but you are really sucking hind tit on loading times and power for the game compared to the Xbox.

So in short if you don't have the HD then why bother with me. I like my games to load fast not take all night to get there.
