What happens if the Harddrive is full?
We know Xbox will use some of that space for loading game data to reduce load time, i wonder what kind of a mess the Xbox HD will be after people have had it for 2 years.
Granted its harder to fill up PS2's 40 gig drive, but then again, if its an add-on, i would assume people can just unplug it and buy a new one.

I rarely install new programs, and when I do, I usually use "mainstream" =
products, rarely beta versions or even shareware.
My PC (Windows 98) fatally crashes about once a day on average. My iMac =
(OS 9.1) fatally crashes about once or twice a month.

I never cared for any of the south park games or even the TV show. I
don't take too much pleasure in watching cartoon cut-outs swear. If I
want swearing all I have to do is invite over my friends and play some
smash brothers =)

Isn't the problem with screens beingtoo dark for some games is that the
developers were using different dev kits?
If so I expect this problem to be remedied with the next crop of
games.
