In Response To: XBox? Hmm... (Jacke)

: I'm really considering getting an XBox to get my Halo fix as soon as
: possible. I know many will probably advise me to steer clear of the
: "evil empire", or to "not join the dark side" etc, but

This may work for you if you decide to get an XBox. The profit margins on consoles is notoriously low, in fact for the early rounds Microsoft is probably making almost nothing off each XBox they sell, or even losing money. And the $32 or so that they make off your purchase of Halo is more than offset by their advertising budget.

So if you buy an XBox and Halo, but don't buy any more games during the holidays you're COSTING Microsoft money.

Hope that helps,
