Yep, much as it pains me to admit I also went for Xbox and Xbox Live as soon as it was available in the UK. I really don't like giving Damian Gates my $$, but he gave me my job by releasing crappy software so fair is fair.
Online is fabulous, best for Europeans is Unreal Championship at the moment. (NFL would confuse most I think) Although MotoGP is getting rave reviews as well. I loved the fact that I was gaming with several people fom various countries, and the chatter feature makes it seem just like PC online gaming.
I have access to a PS2 as well and find the graphics to be second rate compared with Xbox. Although with the new cards out there Xbox lags behind PC's.
Personally I have always resisted buying a console because PC's always were better for gaming (and may well continue to be), but my PC is worn out now (2 yrs old) and I figure I would rather spend couple of hundred on a games console than buy a new PC motherboard and chip. (My Graphic and Sound cards are up to scratch). For example to play Vice City I hade to stump up 160 for a new GeForce card to stop the shudder. At least with Xbox the games won't be jittery.
Still have some reservations if they start bring out a new console every couple of years but for now I believe the Xbox and their Live system are the way to go if you want some light entertainment without the seriousness that PC gaming requires.
yeah, I got a second controller (Gamster) with mine and that is sooo better than the on that comes with it.
Now If i could just make some skins for my Unreal Character......
