I was always loyal to Playstation, but I can't be strung along anymore. Bottom line is it sounds like the Xbox fits my needs better anyway, I am strictly an online player and I really only play a few games (football, baseball and I am going to try basketball when I get my next system). I have a 50 inch plasma and great surround sound. There are a couple of major questions I have though before making a 100% commitment.
The first, I am worried that playstation graphics will look better on my TV because it has an HDMI port. I don't know if Xbox has one, but I don't think it does. Second, I have heard Playstion sound is very good on a good surround, and I haven't heard anything about XBOX, but I really am not a techy and don't know if it is a spec thing or if it is a non issue. Third, the hard drive is only 20 gigs, but I am not thinking it will be an issue for my needs since I don't play a lot of games. Fourth, The overheating issue scares the hell out of me. Will the systems I buy now be better than the originals, have they done anything to them to improve them. And finally........this is an issue I really don't expect an answer , but the HDDVD vs Blue ray. I was in Hollywood video/Game crazy, and they had both but 3-1 Blue ray. She said they only rent about 1 a week though and most people return them because they didn't know they needed a special player. Either way I'm taking a chance but its something I think about.
Bottom line is, if the XBOX has HDMI, or if it doesn't but the graphics are not noticeably worse with component cables and the sound is the same and most importantly it wont overheat out of the box I am getting one immediately and I'll never look back as playstation has cost me a year of missing out on next generation gaming and asking me to wait another 6 months.
one more thing, would I be able to use my linksys adapter that I use for my playstion for the xbox or do I have to spend another 100 on their adapter (I saw one at gamecrazy).
