No.. at least.. not right away and certainly not at $300.
The console is alright looking, The games look great and fun with many I\'d like to try... I really can only afford to support two consoles in this generation. In fact, I\'m really debating on weither or not to buy a PS2 unless the price drop is $100 and not the much more likely $50 drop. There\'s a LOT of games on it I can\'t wait to get my hands on.. much more than Xbox at this point. Plus I\'ve got all those Dreamcast games to catch up on.
Even beyond that though, is time constraints. Two new games from either the PS2 or DC is just about all the new games I can handle. Between work, My regular life, Sleep, and all those old games I\'m buying dirt cheap + Downloaded Roms and Abandonware.. I\'m swamped with games. Right now, I have more games on my computer than I could finish in a year. And I still haven\'t gotten around to playing even a fraction of them for more than a few minuites.
Given a few years time for pricedrops and an expanded library.. I probably will pick up a second hand Xbox and a few titles. I just don\'t see any incentive to buy the Xbox right away. Aside from graphics, it really can\'t offer me anything substancial that I won\'t be able to get somewhere else.
Then again, graphics don\'t mean crap to me. They\'re nice and all.. but on average I play far more EGA and 16 bit games than I do next-gen or current gen titles.
