Ya, I have to work really hard for my parents to get enough $$ for the Xbox. But it should be worth it. Besides MO, there are some other cool games coming out for Xbox. It matters what types of games ya like, but for RPG's there's Elderscrolls III and Project Ego (which I don't think comes out till, what, 2003ish?), for Adventrue there's Azurik and Nightcaster (Spyro and Crash are also coming, I think.) There are others, but basicly I'm tring to say is that there is a wide variety of games for Xbox, and most of them look interesting. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Hand of Odd coming out for Xbox? That's supposed to have a bunch of Elums, isn't it?
P.S. Make your decision soon 'cause the pre-order lists are filling up...
