Panda, If you don’t want to add to the Gates fortune, then you should buy an Xbox Microsoft losesabout $100US on each unit that it sells (at least in North America) but you can’t buy any accessories orgames for it thougha controller has about 150% profit packed into it. even third party makers have to pay microsoft for licensing. Even at $300, sony was losingmoney on each unit it sold.

Yeah, we’ve already investigated that route… :smiley2:unfortunately an Xbox without games is pretty useless. Did youknow you can’t even re-use that HDD in your PC? Its encoded via its IDE and will not work on any other machine, not even in a different XBox.

Whereas the PS2 is cool enough to use as a sculpture/table-decoration!! (Well, *I* think so anyway, the women seem to sometimes think differently.)

Too true on all that “loss-intro marketing”. The buggers love doing that to me… I’m a Gillette (who 1st started it all) customer!!
