I personally can't see what all the fuss about Halo is about. I've played through most of Halo 2 at a friends house and it doesn't seem that special to me.

Don't worry though, the Xbox 360 comes out way before the PS3, as will Halo 3 (probably) so you'll have ample tme to buy it, try it, beat it and so on before Sony try to look clever by crushing Microsoft.

Chances are you'd also be able to download an emulator for the 360 and download Halo 3...heck, it might even come out on PC for you all...just buy a pad that connects to the computer that is like your Xbox one. And you can get them, believe me.

While the single player campaign can be fun, that's not what keeps me playing Halo. It's the multiplayer over Xbox Live. Playing with gruesome, Titus, Tidus, S2 AM, glory, sue, steve, hurt, and the rest is what makes it so much damn fun. And if I were to download an emulator and an illegal copy of one of the Halos, then I wouldn't be able to connect to Xbox Live, and what would be the point?

And that's the only, ormain thing you ant the Xbox 360 for? Halo 3 online.

Fair enough.

Anyway, if Microsoft do suffer a Black Eye they'll probably carry on what they're doing yet try some dirty tactic to come out on top. They won't stop production of the 360 or it's games.

Edit: 
Just read an article that the 360 is coming out 25th November over here for around £200. Which is, what, $360? Lol...Xbox 360 is $360...

Why do you want to see other systems fall so bad? If there is major competition between the systems, prices are lower, and the publishers and developers are making better games...
Now imagine this, Nintendo goes the way of Dreamcast, Xbox 360 gets destroyed by Sony and the only systems left are the Playstations... there would only be price cuts when a new system is getting ready to come out, and the game makers wouldnt have to make games that push the edge....
Now I sure as hell don't want the gaming equiv of WW2 with the germans winning, and Im sure no one else does either, so thats why I own PS2 PsP Xbox and computer and by games for all of them regulary(sorry Nintendo I still dont like you).
I dunno thats all I can think of to say on the issue, but dont wish other systems to go away, it just hurts in the end.

I jus don't like Microsoft much. And that's more or less it. If Microsoft hadn't made the Xbox, then chances are I would've liked it.

It's just the way they think they are the best and tehn try and muscle in on a market because it looks like fun. It used to be Apple leading the computer world, then Microsoft muscled in and now look. Sony led the console world for a decade or so, still are, but now Microsoft wants a piece of the action. I'm just waiting now for Microsofts answer to an MP3 player. Bet you anything it'll be like a palmtop and have XP or Vista on it.

Can't happen. Antitrust laws prevent it.

Yeah, Microsoft ran into that red tape a few years back. I don't remember the specifics of that particular situation. Regardless, the US government won't allow monopolies. It hinders economic productivity.
