You have to hand it to Microsoft - the Xbox rocks

I have to admit I was prepared to hate the Xbox when it first launched. I loved my PlayStation 2. I hated Microsoft. And then I played the Xbox...
I was really impressed by the graphics, the great games and the superior online experience that the Xbox offers. I was excited because online gaming would never be the same, and yet I was disappointed that Microsoft in its first attempt at gaming could outdo my beloved Sony PlayStation system.
Are there any weak points for the Xbox, you ask? Yes. The system is big and bulky. If you are tight on space then a PlayStation 2 Slim might be a better choice for you. And unlike the PlayStation 2, you have to pay to play online in the Xbox Live environment. But beyond those flaws, you really have to stretch to find any chinks in Xbox armor. It is a solid machine.
There are some places that the PlayStation 2 beats the Xbox (see my PlayStation 2 guide here: http://search.reviews.ebay.com/?fvcs=1452&sopr=43557617&uaid=14111642&upvr=4), but I'd have to say the Xbox slightly beats out the PlayStation 2 overall. Curse you Bill Gates! ;) Kidding, kudos to the Xbox folks for producing a quality system.
