baker, ignore them. wherever you may be, africa, school, the bathroom, whenever you bring up xbox/ps2, there will be someone saying that the other console is better. i would rather have a ps2, but if i had the money for a 360, i would get off my ass in a second and go and buy one! have you played c.o.d 2? i played it at my friends house on a huge hdtv, pitch black room, with surround sound and all the works, and I felt like I was in a war, haha. anyways, i bet ya most of the people bad mouthing the 360 are jealous, even if its subconsiously. gogogo good times
