Ok, I just went and through the whole iPod thing out the door. Why? Well, it doesn't play WMA's for one. I thought you might be able to buy an FM tuner for it. They have an FM receiver that allows you to transmit to an FM station so you can listen to your MP3's in the car, but that's not what I'm looking for. Finally, I already have an digital music player (Nomad Jukebox 2). So, I have come to a final decision.
I bought the XBox the day it came out. Unfortunately, I received one of the “bad” XBox's that shipped with bad DVD drives. I learned to live with the fact that some games just won't work and others just barely (I actually found that if I lay the XBox at an angle, it works better). Basically, my XBox has been an exercise in frustration. I also have a GameCube. No problems with it. The majority of games don't suit me since it's really more for my kids. So I'm thinking...I have an XBox...I have a GameCube...I might as well get the whole collection and buy a Playstation 2 (I also have a Playstation 1). I've always wanted to play some of the games on the PS2 (Final Fantasy X and X-2). Now I just have to wait for the funds to come in, I already got the go ahead from the Mrs. (no, really, I do wear the pants in the family). Waiting is always the hard part.
