Wouldn't it be easier if you just made a poll? Anyway, I bought an Xbox because I like the controller, I think Xbox Live is the best gaming network (even better than most PC games), there are certain games that I would rather play on the Xbox than a PC, the ability to add my own sound tracks to games (something that is missing for some reason on the PC), can't beat the true Dolby Digital sound through my home theater system and also the HDTV capability.

Why I purchased an Xbox....

1. babysitter

lets see.
xbox live, hdd, no need really for memory cards. the controller was nice.
i thought the graphics were a lil better.
thats my reasons.....

I would buy it for the old console emulation, simply because I'm tired of having to sit in front the computer playing Lufia II (and I don't want to go dig out my 8,000 cartridges).

I did not buy an X-Box because my daughter wanted to play playstation games which she likes better. I kind of like games like FFX.

I do not really like the X-Box Games.

Amen...................

I get the message that most people here bought the X-box for the hard drive, and online play...which makes sence...Because this is a tech site..

[Mr N8]

1. I prefer console over PC for gaming (PC = work, and I don't really want to spend that much time on one when I'm at home)
2. Online Gaming
3. Easy entertainment for guest's kids
4. To annoy my wife. (note tongue lodged in cheek)

what gives you the idea that the games are too violent? you dont have to buy any games you think are too violent, alot of xbox games are also on ps2 and other consoles...as for high price, its gone down alot since i paid 300 for it, double wat it would be now, and xbox live is only $50 for a year...about the same as a ps2,xbox,gamecube game
