Gates is not the antichrist, you are not obliged to buy his products.
Xbox is a great piece of kit, if you like it buy one, if you don't then shut the hell up.
If you only own one pair of shoes I can understand why you would have a "one device" mentality.
Otherwise, get a PC, an Xbox and a PS2, and be happy. And don't tell me you can't afford that.
The Signal to noise ratio on games has always been low, across all consoles/platforms. I was stuck in a trendy hotel in Switzerland recently and there was a library of over 100 PS titles as a PS2 in the room. I was *staggered* by how much total crap there was in there, given the development costs involved.
As I like to remind people: there are thousands of restaurants in a city like New York or London, but odds on you stick with your favourite 4 or 5. Why? Because they are just fabulous, and there isn't time in the day to try all the rest. With games like Halo on the Xbox, I don't give a damn about having another 99 weak titles.
