From IGN's specs for the Xbox:
Broadband Enabled: Yes
Modem Enabled: No

Look, I am 100% sure that MS will NOT realease a broadband adaptor with the Xbox in THIS COUNTRY.
In Ammerica almost everyone has broadband access, so for MS to be sticking this in the box is a great idea- the first fast internet connection from a console, and a complete revolution in Internet gaming (hopefully).
In this country, where things are at a much more primative level, MS will certainly not stick a broadband adaptor in the box. More likely they will just have a 56k modem. It's cheaper to make than the broadband adaptor, and it opens the internet gaming opertunity to 99% of people rather than 2% of people with broadband access.
How stupid do you think MS are!

When will you be able to get online on your PS2?
Er, no, at least with the PS2 you have the option of to buy a modem, and you can get it online for less than £40.

Duh are you stupid? The PS2 comes with neither Broadband or a Modem so why are you cussing MS for having one inside the box. Oh and the cost of the PS2, Broadband and HDD will probably set you back more than the Xbox. So you're the Idiot.

The only thing I can see the HDD doing is decreasing loading times, which are getting shorter all the time, or aiding surfing the net, which I can do with my PC. However, on balance, it's much much better value for money than a memory card. I'll probably get one of the smaller varieties when they come out, for less money of course.
Yeah coz the HDD is too expensive, might be just a huge memory card and the only other thing it can do is lessen loading times. Someone who is going to get the xbox ought not to buy it,like me, thats my advice.
