Its pretty darn silent. I think this could be classified as a "silent pc". Can't really hear the fan (the dreamcast is much louder than this thing). Sometimes I can hear the hard drive purring.
And BTW this thing is dang cool. Played Halo for 7 hours straight last night (this morning?). Totally awesome game. For those that are complaining about load times its about 10 seconds for Halo which I think is pretty good. Some may disagree. On the whole I am glad I got the console. Can't wait till I save up enough for Project Gotham. Now that looks cool.

Right,
*Newsflash* Hotwheels aren't real cars. I am sure you think your hotwheels cars are really expensive, but in actuality they aren't. Oh and by the way there is no Santa Claus. I stand corrected again. I thought you were at least middle school age but it appears you are even younger than that. So I will again adjust the wager of my bet. How about a nickel? I am sure you can dig into your piggy bank to make that wager.
If thats still too much for you then I guess I will have to bet something else. How about one of your pokemon cards?

The hell it didn't. That was the only thing that saved the car industry in the 80's their made in america campaign. They obviously couldn't win with their products so they started trying to get better but in the mean time they got a lot of extra sales from patriotic americans.
So you are saying products produced in North America don't have the same quality as those produced in Asia and elsewhere? I would beg to differ. The fact of the matter is the Xbox helps our economy much more than it helps Japan's. That is a huge change.

Spoken like a true MS hater. It really kills you that they are so successfull doesn't it. My bet is you haven't ever even seen $300 dollars in person. If thats too much for you then how about 10 bucks. I am sure your burger king wages can cover that right?
Anyways the offer still remains? Whats the matter chicken???

I picked up my Xbox this morning from the local Babbages and played it for about 2 hours so far. I will only comment on Halo (thats all I have played so far). All I can say is wow. This is the most impressive game I have seen come out in a very long time. Visually the game is stunning. Absolutely gorgeous. The music is kinda creepy but really sucked me in. Its almost like Virtual Reality. I was totally immersed in the Halo world. Before I knew it my alarm rang and I had to go to work. I can't wait play it again tonight.
So far so good. No crashes, and it loaded really quick as well.

I disagree with you and am willing to make a wager with you. I bet you $300 bucks that the Xbox will not "fail". Have you even actually seen or played the games?

I totally disagree with you. I sincerely doubt you have actually played Halo let alone own an Xbox. If you had you wouldn't say such things. Please be good enough to tell us the multiplayer modes available in Halo. And could you also tell me what happens when you first start playing the game?
If I am wrong I appologize but I think that you aren't being entirely truthfull in your comment.
Halo is flat out the best game I have ever played on any platform. Revolutionary? You betcha.
Check out gamespots review of the game. They gave it a 9.7 and I think that if you actually played it your tune would change.
Have you seen any of the advertising for Windows XP? I went to the Launch and got a free t-shirt out of the deal. On the back is listed about 30 or so "Partners."
They said exactly what you wanted them too:
"Here's this new thing, and all these other companies are really excited about it, and they've already committed to support it."
As far as the XBOX goes how can more competition be a bad thing? People complain and complain about Windows and the lack of competition, but when you get new competition in a different market from Microsoft its automatically bad because its Microsoft.
NEW YORK, Nov. 12 -- At least four homes were ablaze Monday after an American Airlines 767 aircraft crashed near the heavily populated Rockaway Beach area of New York City, not far from John F. Kennedy International Airport, NBC News reported on Monday. The Airbus-300, Flight 587, was heading to Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic.
DETAILS WERE sketchy although cameras in Manhattan showed a thick plume of smoke billowing high above Queens.
The local NBC affiliate, WNBC, reported that the crash occurred in the Bel Harbor section of the Rockaways at around 9:15 a.m. ET.
JFK and La Guardia Airport, which is also based in Queens, were shut after the accident.
An eyewitness told WNBC that he saw a wing of the plane on fire after takeoff from JFK.
That's pretty funny actually. It does not act radically different. Have you actually used XP? I would suspect that you haven't.
If you roll out 100 or more workstations and you wanted to stay with the battleship gray one group policy change and thats it. 2 minutes of work. But I guess you like spreading FUD.
Linux UI's are notorious for there inability to cope with normal users.
Mac is the only UI that stays the same? Have you ever heard of OS X? Know what aqua is?
Many people brag about performance and what not and everything I have read refutes this infoworld article.
What about how a user actually works with the machine.
Check out this for a look at a usability study conducted on doing common tasks with the computer. XP was tons easier to use and will save real time for users.
I doubt that very much. Doing things in Windows 95 takes tons more time than working with XP. At the launch they had a Windows 95 vs. Windows XP shootout and had people do different tasks with the different computer.
Nope they can charge a licensing fee to actually use their system. What this says is that they will documnet their API's and such. To access it they could charge from what I read.
Lets see XP Pro includes:
Everything you got in Win2K +
Remote Desktop
Remote Assistance
WMP 8
Zip Utility
Windows Messenger
Integrated CD-Burner Software
Integrated Firewall
Integrated NAT
Updated Shell
System Restore
Credential Manager

Actually the Xbox supports HDTV out of box. There is also an adapter you can use to hook it up to your monitor.
