That's why I just don't care as much about my PS2 or my GameCube. Live nails everything perfectly, and the only PC experience that compares is the MMORPG market (which has to nail this, although none of them have gone after voice yet). I'd complain bitterly about the dropping of the HD, but the reality is that I got screwed when my XBox failed, and they shipped me a replacement one without copying over the contents of the HD. And some games (I'm looking at *you* Tecmo) refuse to let you copy files onto a memory card. So if the HD hadn't existed in the first place, Xbox DVD failure would != data loss. Plus, flash cards are much bigger now than they were when the PS2 came out, but save games really aren't. So meh. (Yes, I could have copied off what files I could have first, but it honest to god didn't occur to me that they'd do a whole unit replacement. "My bad" I guess.)

They're hallucinating. PS3 and Cell Processing are going to leave the Xbox in the dust. “Win those comparisons?” They’re hallucinating.
