Not to make this a playstation vs xbox thread, but there really isnt a comparison for people who appreciate high def games and true 5.1 sound. I used to have a playstation , but most of the games are multiplatform, and first party games Microsoft as of late has been on top of their game. As a matter of fact the xbox recently outsold the playstation 2 for the month of April. Also, if any of you guys play online Xbox live now has msn and cell phone text game invites, so you can coordinate your online gaming via cell phone. I'm really not a fanboy just a long time gamer. If any of you guys have played Halo 16 player capture the flag , you will understand where I'm coming from
