    XBox has much stronger 3rd party support than Nintendo will have.  Of
course, Nintendo has probably the strongest 1st party support, but unless
you happen to like their games, this doesn't mean much.

    PS2 has a pretty dominant lead on the market, and it's the safe choice,
but XBox is pretty safe too.  Microsoft has the backing from the major
computer game developers, so if you're into those kind of games it might be
better to get an XBox.

    It got moved up to the 16th, or maybe it was the 18th... just in time
for Finals Week!

    Don't use Yuna in that game if you want a challenge, she trivializes the
game too much with her free lifebars to burn via summons with their complete
status immunity to boot (status effect is nasty in FFX because protection is
much harder to get).  Of course, you can eventually get some other pretty
cheesy stuff, the first one I can think of Quick Trick + Haste = nearly
infinite turns.

    Nintendo decided to forsake the older audience and stick to the low teen
age.  Not too surprising since they haven't been successful at all
competeing against PSX for the older market.
