Nintendo still has no plans to cut pricing on the Gamecube. Now is definitely a good time to be a gamer with all 3 next-gen systems at $200. Too bad i just bought a Playstation 2 yesterday." I'd like to know if anyone has succeeded in porting a Free operating system to the Xbox.

    It's great to see that Microsoft doesn't always win.

    Video Gaming is one market where people actually seem to like variety. I love it.

    Even if the price were $-200, I still wouldn't buy it! (meaning the store paid me $200 to get the X-Box off of their shelves to make room for better things)

    MS is going down. They can't sell any of their junk and have to cut the price to comptete. Soon the losses will mount and they will stop selling the crap box. This is the start of MS downfall. Did I miss anything?
