Hay everybody! I am an Xbox owner, and I definitely think it is the best system out there. I am going to tell you all why I think it is the best, and you can tell me what you think... Honestly, I think you guys should get an Xbox. So, here are my reasons:

Good. This guy seems confident in his purchase, looks like he\'s going to give us some good points.

1. The games! There are many remarkable games out right now, but the games that are coming out are what are going to blow you away. I know you guys are going to reply to this and say the only good game Xbox has is Halo, but have you played any of the other games. Right now there is Oddworld, Rally Sport Challenge, Spider Man, DOA3, Gunvalkyrie, Tony Hawk 2X and 3, and much more. These are just the ones I\'ve played. The games coming out that I\'m looking forward to are going to be awesome. These are Project Ego, Brute Force, Star Wars: KOTOR, Soul Calibur 2, Unreal Championship, Ghost Recon, Morrowind, Hunter, Gun Metal, etc. These are just the big games. If you have no idea what they are, then I would suggest going over to GameSpot and looking them up. They are going to be awesome.
The games? What games? You said it yourself the only game that is truly worthwhile is Halo (Rallisport with a close second). And mentioning games that aren\'t exclusive to the X-box is kind of irrelevant since you are basically comparing the X-box to the other consoles on the market. "The games coming out are going to be awesome".... Wasn\'t this thread entitled Why X-box Is Best, its not Why X-box
will be the best. So basically, the X-box\'s 6-month life span so far isn\'t enough time for you to start boasting about games.. especially ones that you and no one else has ever played...

2. The hardware! Xbox is the most powerful gaming system out, with the best graphics. You\'ve probably all have seen Xbox\'s specifications compared to PS2\'s. Xbox\'s are better. Don\'t forget it has a built in hard drive.
Graphics and hardware don\'t display the system\'s overall quality. Wasn\'t the 64 superior to the PS1 in hardware? And if you were to ask a non-biased true gamer which system was truly the better one, PS1 would be the reply.

3. The built-in ethernet card! I am already playing Halo online against other players. Soon, XboxLive! will be released, and Xbox owners will be able to play each other online, buying only one inexpensive addon, the Xbox Communicator. The Xbox Communicator is a microphone/headphones that every online Xbox game will use. The cost of XboxLive! is unknown right now, but is supposed to be very cheap. Much cheaper then what PS2 owners will need to play online. PS2 owners will need to buy a modem ($40), a hard drive ($100), and the online subscription ($?).
Lets not forget how this isn\'t very friendly to those who use a 56k modem. And considering that still the majority of america still use dial-up. And as you said, the cost of XboxLive! is unknown right now, so, moving along....

4. The accessories! The Xbox controller is the most comfortable controller I\'ve used. And, no, I\'m not a giant. It isn\'t too big. If you\'ve tried the Xbox controller and didn\'t like it, it is probably because you are used to the PS2 controller. If you just can\'t stand the Xbox controller, there is a new official controller out that is smaller. It is called the S Controller. Compared to the PS2 controller, it is great! Personally, I don\'t like the PS2 controller. The analog sticks are way too low. It doesn\'t make sense. Also, there are many other accessories out for Xbox, including the DVD playback kit.
Thats all based on matter of opinion there. But according to the law of averages, majority of gamers dislike the X-box controller. Just opinions, and more opinions...

5. The graphics! Almost all Xbox games are impossible on PS2 because of the graphics. And please don\'t say there is barely any difference. Believe me...there is!
Once again. Perhaps if your a shallow gamer, the graphics department is your priority... "And please don\'t say there is barely and difference. Believe me...there is!" Yes of course there is, you seem to be such an expert :rolleyes:

I don\'t want to appear to be bashing the X-box. But lets face it. No system is the best. They all have their advantages and disadvantages. Personally I think the X-box has not lived long enough to start claiming that it is the best. It\'s all about personal preference and opinions. And perhaps even your stereotypes come into play, Gamecube may suit the younger gamers or gamers who like games that are more unique and different, the X-box may deliver to those who enjoyed PC Gaming and online capabilities, and the PS2, I believe, is to any well-rounded gamer.
But this isn\'t called "Console-Debating" for nothing....
