I think the Xbox is just a PC in disguise and therefore has all the problems associated with pc gaming. Has anyone noticed how the replays are very glitchy with bad frame rate. Then there's that stupid dashboard which keeps going wrong not to mention the way you have to reset the time and date when ever you turn the power off.

Also if the Xbox is so easy to program for why are'nt there loads of pc games out there for it or being developed. The fact of the matter is that the PS2 has more pc converstions in development than the Xbox, you also have to consider that many console game developers, have not designed for pc's anyway.

Actually, Cyclone's reply was the most accurate.

Would you call the Dreamcast a PC in a box? No? Well, it's based on PC architecture FAR more than the Xbox! Some idiots just see the Xbox as a PC in a box because it's made by Microsoft- well, the Dreamcat even had the facility to use WINDOWS as an OS for developers, yet because it's made by Sega no one says anything.

So please, go away and write something original!

Unlike you, I'm actually contributing useful replies at present, whereas yours is just mindless junk. ;)

It is not even black plastic but dark green 80's style tat.
