"Cost to play Halo 2 on a XBox: about $200.00
Cost to play Halo 2 on Windows Vista: A lot more than $200.00"
This seems to be a popular argument, however invalid. It only costs whatver dollar figure you want to assign to playing Halo 2 on either system if that is all you are using that system for. It may cost the ammount to be ABLE to play by having the prerequisite hardware, but I am not buy a computer and/or OS to play a single came. I am paying that amount to be able to play many games, work from home when necessary, do photo and video editing, commuicate with friends and family, access my home security system, shop and research and many other things that may or may not benefit from this OS upgrade. Being able to play a game is only marginal benefit, but may be enough to make me upgrade sooner than later.
Hoestly, I am more interested in having HDTV DVR functionality in my HTPC.
