No, because by the time the X-box comes out, it will be outdated. I'd look for the Playstation 3 (or the PSX2's next decendant, whatever it may be called) to be coming out either at the same time, or shortly after the X-box. The X-box is supposed to have a 600Mhz PIII, (was supposed to have AMD K7, but AMD got screwed over, another reason I won't buy), it's also going ot have a 300Mhx nVidia X-chip and 64MB of DDR memory. it'll have an 8 gig storage, the Win00 Kernel, and will be released in the fall of next year. it'll also have USB, NIC, HDTV, and DVD.
Now, lets compare those to a PC in 2001. at least 1.5-2Ghz, a 350Mhz GPU (possibly the GeFor2, but might be it's successor), 128MB or better of high-speed RAM, a holy shit load of storage, both mounted and removable, Windows Mill or Linux, and will support everythign under the sun now, and then.
The X box sounds high tech now, and surely if it were released tomorrow, it'd be at the top of the charts, but how will those specs compete next year against the Dolphin, Dreamcast2, and like i said, the next PSX.

I might be right, I might be wrong, but then again, I just might not care either. Got a problem with that?--Me.
