hey dont get me wrong i dont like mircosolft buying up developers as much as the next guy. and i am definately not trying to advocate any xbox doctorine here. all i am sayin is that with a cheap mod (yeha it's cheap, here in Aus, u can get a good mod chip for 50 AUD plus workmanship) i am really afraid people will jump into the bandwagon. oh another thing my frends use another cheap way to gain access to games. personally i think it's soo much wrong. they abuse the system by 'buying' games from EB then install the whole thing and then return it with money back.

with stuff like that happening i am afraid of xbox hardware sales skyroketing and once people see statistic some people oblivious to the gaming world will wonder 'hmmm...wow xbox is doing good maybe i should get one'. and if the hardware sale surpass PS2 i am sure my friends will rub it in my face. peer pressure is a bitch
