I know I'm old school but I still really enjoy my Xbox. I have a nice
library of games, and I pick up used games all the time. It's just sad to
see the Xbox gaming section shrinking down to almost nothing. Target still
has a large PS2 section, but it's Xbox area is about 10 games. The rest are
360 games. Oh well there's always E-bay and Amazon. JLC

Mainstream retailers, as a rule, only stock the latest and greatest.
According to Gamerankings there haven't been any new games since
November and even then those titles weren't exactly barn burners.

Well, it's not like they had a choice. Having their original graphic
chip cut out from under them by NVidia had a lot to do with it.
Considering the switch to ATI I'm actually pretty impressed that they
got 300 games working.

It's more about the processor than the graphics chip. Xbox had Intel, 360
has PowerPC.

Microsoft has been ruthless, but they're basically trying to kill the Xbox
to promote the 360's IP.

It's a shame the corksuckers didn't see fit to make the 360 seriously
compatible with xbox games.

Anyway, I still have my Big Black Box. It's going nowhere. For one, when I
had to send in my 360 for servicing, my BBB kept me company. Plus, remember,
it's a spare DVD player, too.
