The only reason I bought one was for Metroid, and the previous vision of Zelda (before they butchered the game and turned it into comic book fairy land for 4 year olds).
My PS2 however leads the pack. All the games I want and more. Plus, most of the online play is free (aside from Evercrack). Not much to say except that I'm looking forward to PS3's distributed platform.
The XBox is getting better. The original controllers sucked. They finally introduced controllers for the under 7 foot crowd. The single player of Halo was great, but the online play is something to skip. I simply have a problem with paying for a subcription to online games. I'm already shelling out $50/mo. for DSL. Just one more bill to worry about. I think the XBox might go the same way as the Dreamcast... too many people modding their boxes, not enough people buying games to justify continuing the platform.

I don't have the strangely packaged PC.
(Of course, calling the XBox a PC is like calling the PS2 a SGI workstation. Nevermind.)

Super Monkey Ball (if you like high-altitude monkey death)
TimeSplitters 2 (if you like being chased by flaming monkey death)
Eternal Darkness (no monkeys, fairly easy to finish, coincidence?)
Blast Corps 2 (hard to find, I know it rocks though, a giant monkey robot is a bonus vehicle, this time the truck is actively homing in on the buildings and contains the unexploited plotlines of BC1, having the same result as the nukes if released)

That's true, Microsoft's products are only BOUGHT by stupid fuckheads. We work with MS sometimes and find them quite a bright bunch, we don't use their awful products though.
