A system with a low price tag appeals to kids, and mainstream so believe me for a expensive console X-Box is doing pretty well.
The Xbox is more money for a reason:
1. DVD player.
2. Built in hard drive.
3. Ethernet port.

To even use the DVD, ou have to spend about $50 on the remote.

So, you're paing $150 extra for a low qualit DVD player w/ a remote, a tiny 8 gig hard drive, and an ethernet card.

And better graphics and more built in features (CD Rip etc.)

for Gamecube to = Xbox, feature wise, you would need to buy 16,000 memory Cards, a whole seperate DVD/CD player, and some impossible stuff to upgrade the preformance of Gamecube.

oh, and if it wants to equal Xbox on one game technically, you would need 6 Gamecube disks

IMO, Xbox is a bargan

The DVD player is decent. A LOT better than the PS2 DVD. If you were to go out and get one of that quality by itself it would cost you $100 by itself. The remote is $30 not $50. It has better graphics. Better sound (Dolby 5.1 in game). Better, well just about everything. The HD allows it to play games that can't be played on any other system.

MS is selling the XBox for a whole lot less than it costs to make it. So I think I would call that a deal.

Xbox is worth the money

I would buy one, but I don't have the money at the moment

I mean, I could get 6 PS2 games instead of buying JUST an XBox...I'll wait until I get a job to buy another system...
