The Xbox still has a lot to offer, but too much of anything isn't very pleasurable in the end. Only you will know if that is the case.

I can't help but think that Microsoft is missing out on making versions of games for the old Xbox like Sony does for their PS2; I mean, they have their new hardware out, but they still address the owners/users/people-who-spent-a-lot-of-money-on-them of the old hardware. There's something exceedingly unfair about MS just completely snubbing their own hardware the way they did/do the original Xbox.

It's also ironic when this action is taken by a company that prides itself on ensuring backwards-compatibility on their operating systems, particularly with regard to Windows XP and (to a lesser extent) Vista.

If you're really, truly, definitively bored with your Xbox, personally, I would not waste money on either an Xbox 360 OR a PS3; I would find myself a nice little PC to make a game box/media center (which, yes, you can do with the Xbox, but if push comes to shove, you will be able to upgrade the PC--and this you cannot and will not be able to do with either the Xbox 360 or the PS3).

That's simply the way they're designed: profit-friendly and user-antagonistic. My opinion, of course.
