interesting what direction a thread can take..
anyway, not that i have a HUGE problem with MS (as I use my windows xp based pc), I think the difference people see is that MS wants to monopolize whatever industry they are involved with, and this is true. I think you've heard the countless charges, etc that the federal govt has brought and tried over the years against MS... with sony, it's not quite the same... either way i don't really give a rat's ass, i'm just observing.. i've love to have an xbox for halo, but i reallly can't justify the purchased with all the other stuff i've bought and let collect dust over the past year... oh, and as for that fanboy discussion, the part i don't see is how you guys think that there are a lot of nintendo fanboys on this board... i see more ps2/xbox by far, and really only one nintendo fanboy that i know of (sorry jonbo
) i'm glad this thread took a turn for the better anyway
