i chose xbox, Not only for its gaming qualities,
xbox is just an all around kickass media entertainment system. with a big, nasty HD, and a modchip, you can do anything.
play every snes, every genesis, lots of n64, lots of PS1, and lots of other SUB-Dreamcast system's games.
play DVDs, DIVX, XVID, MPEG, VCD, WMA, RA, and just about every other video format (with the right codecs, but most are included with xbox media player).
play xbox games (duh)
free online gaming (with tunnelling software (xlink, xbox connect, etc)..)
run linux.. possibilities are endless,
- run a webserver
- run a mailserver
- run a game server
- be the coolest geek on your block
since all xbox software is open based, that means with a lil programming knowledge, you can code your own apps, and tweak the ones available to your hearts desire.
output to optical dolby 5.1, HDTV compatible, S-Video and RCA's.
Now, show me a pc that can do all that for 200 bucks?

I have a few questions:
1. Don't you have to solder on the mod chip? Aside from having to buy a mod chip, the soldering a bit difficult. I hate to wast a new counsle just becuase I soldered the mod chip wrong.
2. How do u install these tunneling softwares onto an xbox. I never owned a cousle so I never knew how that was possible.
3. If you own a moded xbox then you probably download the games off the net. Factor in the dvd burner and dvd disks costs I am pretty sure that goes well over $200 in any currency.
