My system is not what I would call a speed-demon, but Doom 3 runs surprisingly well. I think all the "Doom 3 will bring your PC to it's knees!" bullshit was simply designed to sell more copies of the game.
VSP makes compelling arguments to stay away from the Xbox, and I guess the only reasons I can cite for preferring the Xbox are:
1. The graphics. I know it's a subtle difference, but the PS2 just looks grainier to me.
2. The controller. To hear people discuss the PS2 controller, you would think they're talking about the second coming. I was one of the few people who liked the DC controllers, and I really like the Xbox controllers, they fit better in my hands.
3. The Xbox ships with a hard drive. Is that a stupid argument for the Xbox over the PS2? Yeah. But it's still cool to be able to save games right out of the box without buying a memory card.
I *know* the PS2 is a better buy for the money, and I kind of think the GC is a bigger bang for the buck than the PS2, but for some reason, I just really love the Xbox.
