Doug, Re: However, when dvd burners hit more mainstream (probably within another year or so), I bet we'll see xbox games getting ripped off like everything else. Current (affordable) DVD burners support only one layer but all DVD games are dual layer discs. So I guess it will take at least two or three years until there's mainstream capability to copy Xbox games. Andreas

doug: The real problem with the xbox IMO is lack of games. I've got an xbox myself, and I love the system, the hard drive alone makes it a better deal then any competing systems, but almost all the good games for xbox are available for ps2, and there are a crapload of good ps/2 games not available for xbox. XBox is expensive as hll in Europe&#133 $475 here in Denmark (>50% more than in the U.S., as far as I can tell), compared to just under $300 for the PS2. Recent reports are that MS is preparing to dump the price of the XBox to match the PS2 price tag. They sure need to do something*. XBox sales [in Europe] are lagging PS2 sales (console to console) by an order of magnitude! -fyo
