I used to be into videogame consoles a lot. The reason I myself bought XBox was because not because of the graphics. I didn't see an ENORMOUS difference in graphics between XBox and Gamecube. However, what I did hear and notice was that Gamecube's games are more or less "family-type" games. Even though I'm sure Gamecube will have it's share, XBox is where all the mature games are going to go (or at least that's what I think).
Also, I remember there being some controversy about XBox. Like Jason said, it's basically a "computer at heart" - but doesn't that defy the point of it being a videogame console? :P
As for the games Jason mentioned. I don't see anything extraordinary in Halo's gameplay (sure, the graphics might look ok, but the game itself seems to be just another first-person-shooter). Amped takes LOTS of mastering before it gets fun :cry: I recommend Dave Mirra's BMX Biking 2.
... Of course don't get me wrong. Despite my opinions, I DID buy XBox for a reason - it is a good system.
