Consoles are just trying to get into Multiplaying. I like the idea of a console being as strong as a comp. Some people can't be upgrading everytime a game like Max Payne comes out. With a console they know the system will handle the game. Regardless of which one is better, I still like the idea of consoles getting on the net. Maybe consoles can solve the lag problem...Of course this is all IMO.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>


I agree that it's good that consoles are getting into multiplay. My issue is the added hard-drive/mouse/keyboard. With all of these it's just another computer that needs upgrading and such, this pretty much defeats the entire purpose of the console and just makes it a computer that can only play games (not used for work, school, etc.).
