Well, I wound up getting the regular old XBox back around President's Day, which was about 3 weeks ago. The old XBox probably still has some advantages over the 360, not much, but at least the regular console still has life in it left. I would've hoped that it would've been as successful as the PS2, but then again, I may be feeding Bill Gates again, which none of us needs to do at this point. At least with an XBox, I hear that it's easy for homebrew games to be ported into it, because the original XBox is similar to a PC-style architecture. Whether or not this is true, I could probably try putting a game from VC++ into there.
